  • The First Defenders Civil War Round Table Newsletter
    n ilyaciltit (7-72 The First Defenders Civil War Round Table Newsletter September 2012 Beginning our 16th Campaign www.firstdefenderscwrt.us PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Welcome. We had a great field trip to South Mountain. Many thanks to Don and Rob and anyone else who helped. A special thanks to John Hoptak. If you missed it, we have another good trip planned for next June. I hope your summer is going well and that you are all in good health. The time has come to start a new campaign. The war is not going particularly well for the Union by September 1862. Robert E. Lee has embarrassed George B. McClellan in the Seven Days Campaign in front of Richmond. Then on August 29 th and 30th, he crushes John Pope's army at Second Bull Run. The Rebel army pushes to within 20 miles of Washington before withdrawing. Abraham Lincoln believes that he has no choice, but to swallow his pride and ask McClellan to again lead the Army of the Potomac. Many in Lincoln's administration believe that McClellan did everything in his power to undermine Pope, and would like to see him hang. Lincoln knows Little Mac can restore morale. Lee, with momentum on his side decides to invade the North. A decisive victory in above the Mason-Dixon line may lead to peace talks. The Army of Northern Virginia, in high spirits, crosses the Potomac River, into Maryland on September 5th. McClellan moving quickly, defeats part of Lee's army at the Battle of South Mountain. Lee, with the wings of his army widely scattered, is surprised for one of the few times in the war and considers abandoning the campaign.

In the initial printing of this volume (on this inner cover and on page 5) the postnominal of ‘MRACP’ was used to refer to the editors’ membership status. This postnominal was first applied to the Edi- tor-in-Chief in formal correspondence from The Osler Club of London. Subsequent discussions with the RACP have confirmed that the postnominal is not formally endorsed by the College for trainee members and so it has been removed in this digital edition.

  • Migration, Freedom and Enslavement in the Revolutionary Atlantic: the Bahamas, 1783–C
    Migration, Freedom and Enslavement in the Revolutionary Atlantic: The Bahamas, 1783–c. 1800 Paul Daniel Shirley October 2011 UCL PhD thesis 1 I, Paul Daniel Shirley, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: _____________________________ (Paul Daniel Shirley) 2 Abstract This thesis examines the impact of revolution upon slavery in the Atlantic world, focusing upon the period of profound and unprecedented change and conflict in the Bahamas during the final decades of the eighteenth century. It argues that the Bahamian experience can only be satisfactorily understood with reference to the revolutionary upheavals that were transforming the larger Atlantic world in those years. From 1783, the arrival of black and white migrants displaced by the American Revolution resulted in quantitative and qualitative social, economic and political transformation in the Bahamas. The thesis assesses the nature and significance of the sudden demographic shift to a non-white majority in the archipelago, the development of many hitherto unsettled islands, and efforts to construct a cotton-based plantation economy. It also traces the trajectory and dynamics of the complex struggles that ensued from these changes. During the 1780s, émigré Loyalist slaveholders from the American South, intent on establishing a Bahamian plantocracy, confronted not only non-white Bahamians exploring enlarged possibilities for greater control over their own lives, but also an existing white population determined to defend their own interests, and a belligerent governor with a penchant for idiosyncratic antislavery initiatives. In the 1790s, a potentially explosive situation was inflamed still further as a new wave of war and revolution engulfed the Atlantic.

  • Childhood Asthma and Beyond
    Wellcome Witnesses to Twentieth Century Medicine CHILDHOOD ASTHMA AND BEYOND A Witness Seminar held at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London, on 4 April 2000 Volume 11 – November 2001 CONTENTS Introduction Mark Jackson i Witness Seminars: Meetings and publications;Acknowledgements E M Tansey and L A Reynolds vi Transcript Edited by L A Reynolds and E M Tansey 1 Index 67 INTRODUCTION One Sunday morning earlier this year, I was offered a potent and disturbing reminder of current trends in childhood asthma. Our one-year-old son, Conall, had developed a loud expiratory wheeze and persistent nocturnal cough following a series of debilitating upper respiratory tract infections and, perhaps significantly, coinciding with the extremely high pollen counts recorded that month. We had attempted to relieve the symptoms with a salbutamol inhaler delivered through a spacer and mask but to no effect. That morning, he began exhibiting signs of severe respiratory distress and I took him to the accident and emergency department in the small local hospital. He was given nebulized salbutamol which immediately eased both his (and my) distress and the wheeze, he was prescribed a short course of oral steroids and a follow- up steroid inhaler, and we were advised to see our GP later that week. Of course, our experience was by no means unusual. We all know families where young children suffer recurrent episodes of wheezing and nocturnal coughing, and where the use of both β-agonist and steroid inhalers is commonplace. When we lived in Manchester, where our older son, Riordan, first developed symptoms of asthma three or four years ago, our GP was insistent that the number of wheezy children seen in her surgery had increased dramatically over the previous ten years, particularly in those areas of Manchester close to major roads.

  • The Montgomery County Story
    The Montgomery County Story Vol. 50, No. 1 Winter 2007 Montgomery County Story In our 50th Year of Publication Topical Sununaries and Index The first Montgomery County Story was published in November 1957, and for the next fifteen years Martha Sprigg Poole served as Editor of the Montgomery County Historical Society'S quarterly. Miss Poole, a Washington, D.C. native, was active in the Historical Society's early days. She held Bachelor's and Master's degrees in history from George Washington University, and retired from McKinley Technical High School in 1951 after 24 years ofteaching in the District of Columbia public schools. After Miss Poole's death at age 82, in 1972, Mayvis Fitzsimons served as Editor until 1975. She made the switch from Roman to Arabic numbers for Story volumes, and placed a greater focus on historical research. Her tenure was cut short by a tragic automobile accident, at the age of 52. The third Editor, Mary Charlotte Crook (1975-1989), and fourth Editor, Eleanor M. V. Cook (1989-2003), both had long tenures before their respective retirements. Each had previously contributed to the Story, as well as volunteering in the Society Library. Through the years, many Library volunteers have been contributing writers. Another volunteer, Diane Broadhurst, took Martha Sprigg Poole, over as Editor in 2003. The current Story, a summary of past issues, Editor 1957-1972 was compiled by Library volunteers. The role of Story Editor often exceeds that of simply preparing authors' manuscripts. Editors also have to locate and recruit interested authors, and keep them on schedule.

He was best known for being Sone of the ‘big four’ founding members of the Johns Hopkins Hospital where he had arrived in 1888 as Physician-in-Chief, establishing the medical residency programme, taking medical students to the bedside, writing major textbooks and for being the ‘King of Pranks’. In addition, Osler’s life later was closely intertwined with that of the new and rapidly progressing Royal Society of Medicine in London (RSM), established in 1907 by the merger of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society and seventeen specialist medical societies. Osler, along with Scottish librarian (later Sir) John MacAlister, was intimately involved with the RSM from the start and actively encouraged postgraduate education and young doctors. At a meeting of the Section of History of Medicine (later History of Medicine Society) of the Royal Society of Medicine held at the Society’s house, 1 Wimpole Street, on Wednesday 14 January 1920 at 5pm, Sir D’Arcy Power, President of the Section, (who authored more than two hundred biographies in the Dictionary of National Biography, and who later recalled how the section was ‘more like a family than an integral part of a great scientific society’), proposed a vote of sympathy for Lady Osler for the loss of her husband.

This dilemma had grown out of the confused state of affairs which'followed the separation of the Captaincy- General of Guatemala from Spain. At first united to Iturbide*s short-lived Mexican empire, the five Central American states organized a federal union in 1825 under the name of the United Provinces of Central America. The United States promptly recognised this new federal union and signed a treaty of commerce and friendship with It on December 5, 1825.1 However, governmental institutions adapted to the needs of Anglo-America did not work equally well when transplanted to a land where the problem of geographical Isolation alone made such a union difficult to achieve.
