  • John the Painter
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY VOLUME LXIII JANUARY, 1939 NUMBER ONE John the Painter HIS is the tale of an aberrated Scotsman who stepped momen- tarily into the spotlight of history during the American Revo- Tlution, and, for a brief, fantastic space, sent shivers rippling along the spines of Lord North's cabinet, and spread consternation throughout the length and breadth of merry England. He was born plain James Aitken, an unprepossessing infant in the brood of an indigent Edinburgh blacksmith. Dangling from a gibbet in Ports- mouth town, he departed this life, in 1777, famous or infamous, as John the Painter. Twice James Aitken's crimes flared red on the British horizon—an incendiary whose distorted mind interpreted the torch of liberty as literal rather than allegoric -y who set himself, single-handed, to destroy the might of the king's navy. Boasting him- self an agent of the American Congress, this insignificant little Scottish zealot, ere his destructive path ended, had burned to the ground his majesty's rope house in the Portsmouth navy yard, and had started two alarming, if not serious, fires in busy Bristol. Harken, then, to the tale of James Aitken, alias James Hill, other- wise James Hinde, commonly called, as the old court record set forth, John the Painter. Silas Deane's French servant probably eyed with repugnance the shabby little man, who, for the third time, was insisting upon an 2 WILLIAM BELL CLARK January audience with his employer. Twice before the devoted servant, who regarded any Englishman as inimical to his patron's welfare, had dismissed him summarily.

  • A Counterintelligence Reader, Volume 1, Chapter 1
    CHAPTER 1 The American Revolution and the Post-Revolutionary Era: A Historical Legacy Introduction From 1774 to 1783, the British government and its upstart American colony became locked in an increasingly bitter struggle as the Americans moved from violent protest over British colonial policies to independence As this scenario developed, intelligence and counterintelligence played important roles in Americas fight for freedom and British efforts to save its empire It is apparent that British General Thomas Gage, commander of the British forces in North America since 1763, had good intelligence on the growing rebel movement in the Massachusetts colony prior to the Battles of Lexington and Concord His highest paid spy, Dr Benjamin Church, sat in the inner circle of the small group of men plotting against the British Gage failed miserably, however, in the covert action and counterintelligence fields Gages successor, General Howe, shunned the use of intelligence assets, which impacted significantly on the British efforts General Clinton, who replaced Howe, built an admirable espionage network but by then it was too late to prevent the American colonies from achieving their independence On the other hand, George Washington was a first class intelligence officer who placed great reliance on intelligence and kept a very personal hand on his intelligence operations Washington also made excellent use of offensive counterintelligence operations but never created a unit or organization to conduct defensive counterintelligence or to coordinate its

    The Letters of George Santayana Book Six, 1937—1940 The Works of George Santayana Volume V The Letters of George Santayana 6:3 To Charles Augustus Strong 2 January 1937 • Rome, Italy (MS: Rockefeller) Hotel Bristol, Rome Jan. 2, 1937 Dear Strong George and Margaret were here yesterday evening and gave me better news of the children. Johnny seems to be all right, the lump in the throat being declared imaginary–at least, if I understood what was said. I am going to see them at the Grand Hotel one of these day at 4 o’clock when they (and I) return from their outing. Margaret herself looked very well, much more natural than when I last saw her in the Piazza in Florence. I write to erase if possible any unpleasant impression caused by my reports. Glad you enjoyed Der Zauberberg. So did I, although I didn’t understand every word, and had to look some of them–when the sense mattered–in the dictionary bought to help me with Heidegger. There is a German translation of my novel “aus dem Amerikanischen.” Also, a Swedish translation. I ask myself why. Don’t they all read “American”? Yours ever G.S. 6:4 The Letters of George Santayana To Carl Sadakichi Hartmann 3 January 1937 • Rome, Italy (MS: Riverside) C/o Brown Shipley & Co 123, Pall Mall, London, S.W.1 Rome, Jan. 3, 1937 Dear Mr. Hartmann It is very pleasant to know that my slightly farcical sketch of Boston in the 1870’s fall in more or less with your own memories.

  • John Paul Jones Andguerre De Razzia James C. Bradford
    John Paul Jones and Guerre de Razzia James C. Bradford La stratégie navale se divise traditionnellement en deux écoles de pensée: le raid marchand et le raid d'escadre. Pendant la Guerre d'indépendance américaine, John Paul Jones prôna une troisième stratégie: le raid des ports et avant-postes de l'Empire situés dans les régions côtières des îles britanniques. Son but stratégique était de forcer l'Angleterre à disperser les navires de la Marine royale. La Marine continentale ne disposait pas des navires nécessaires aux attaques que voulait mener Jones contre l'Afrique, la baie d'Hudson et Terre-Neuve, mais avec les ressources limitées dont il disposait, il attaqua les centres de pêche de Nouvelle-Ecosse ainsi que le port de Whitehaven, en Angleterre. Il tenta d'obtenir la participation de Leith, en Ecosse. Naval historians and strategists traditionally divide naval strategy into one of two schools, guerre de course, often referred to as commerce raiding, and guerre d'escadre, a strategy focussing on large warships deployed in fleets designed to engage similar enemy vessels similarly organized. The labels for both groups come from nineteenth-century France where theorists of the Jeune École applied methods of analysis common to land warfare to the study of conflict at sea. Proponents of the Jeune École theorized that recent technological developments had rendered obsolete the fleet actions so characteristic of warfare under sail during its highest stage of development. They conceded that such engagements may well have determined the outcome of the Wars of the French Revolution and Empire, but members of the Jeune École pointed out that they were virtually absent from the wars of the mid- and late-nineteenth century.

    Abstract Jefferson’s Sons: Notes on the State of Virginia and Virginian Antislavery, 1760–1832 by Cara J. Rogers This dissertation examines the fascinating early life of Thomas Jefferson’s book, Notes on the State of Virginia, from its innocuous composition in the early 1780s to its appropriation as a political weapon by both pro and antislavery forces in the early nineteenth century. Initially written as a statistical introduction to Virginia for French readers, Jefferson’s book evolved into an intellectual tour de force that covered almost all facets of the state’s natural and political realms. As part of an antislavery education strategy, Jefferson also decided to include a treatise on the nature of racial difference, as well as a manifesto on the corrupting power of slavery in a republic and a plan for emancipation and colonization. In consequence, his book—for better or worse—defined the boundaries of future debates over the place of black people in American society. Although historians have rightly criticized Jefferson for his racism and failure to free his own slaves, his antislavery intentions for the Notes have received only cursory notice, partly because the original manuscript was not available for detailed examination until recently. By analyzing Jefferson’s complex revision process, this dissertation traces the ways in which his views on race and slavery evolved as he considered how best to persuade younger slaveholders to embrace emancipation. It then moves beyond Jefferson to examine contemporary responses to the Notes from white and black intellectuals and politicians, concluding with an attempt by Jefferson’s grandson to implement elements of the Notes’ emancipation plan during Virginia’s 1831-32 slavery debates.

  • Benjamin Franklin: Statesman-Scientist & the Father of Scientific Statecraft by Barbara Pfeffer Billauer1
    Benjamin Franklin: Statesman-Scientist & The Father of Scientific Statecraft by Barbara Pfeffer Billauer1 “When you look at all instruments of statecraft and how that's pulled together, I think the ambassadors are uniquely poised.”~ Henry Crumpton In the spring of 1785,2 seven and a half years after his diplomatic mission to France began, Benjamin Franklin left France for the last time. Plagued by a furious gout attack, the voyage would have begun in utter agony had Marie Antoinette not sent her personal sedan chair3 to ferry him to the ship that would carry him back to America. 4 And so Franklin, the first American Diplomat and Ambassador Plenipotentiary5, left his French home in Passy to return to the newly conceived, egalitarian nation he had helped midwife, transported in the grandeur and comfort of the royal carriage. It can be argued that diplomatic success is heavily dependent on the negotiating skills of the diplomat, augmented by, inter alia, one part preparation, one part cunning and one part communication skills – or rather the ability to manipulate the art of dialogue to the benefit of one’s mother country. Yet, there must certainly be more to the equation. For, while the huge financial aid bequeathed to the nascent country by the French (estimated to be about 1.3 billion dollars in today’s currency) bankrupted the Bourbon throne and resulted in the beheading of its monarchs, the amity and regard afforded to Franklin, agent provocateur of the French foreign aid policy, remained untarnished. (On news of Franklin’s death in 1790, the National Assembly went into mourning for three days, according to his biographer Claude-Anne Lopez, making it “the first political body in the world to pay homage to a citizen from another land”).
