THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. -
The Revolt of Cairo and Revolutionary Violence
The revolt of Cairo and Revolutionary violence 12 A ‘theatre of bloody carnage’: the revolt of Cairo and Revolutionary violence Joseph Clarke It is impossible to disentangle French Revolutionary history from the history of violence. For both contemporary commentators and subsequent historians, the very chronology of the period is defined by its eruptions of mass violence, the journées that demarcate the Revolution’s different phases, while the interpreta- tion of that violence has generated some of the historiography’s most heated debates. Without, as some have suggested, reducing the Revolution to killing pure and simple, violence remains, as Jean-Clément Martin and Bronisław Baczko have recently restated, an inextricable element of Revolutionary political culture.1 Indeed, it is a measure of this preoccupation that Micah Alpaugh’s 2015 study of Non-Violence and the French Revolution was widely greeted as a radical depar- ture in the historiography.2 And yet, for all the research that has been devoted to Revolutionary violence, that research has tended to revolve around two related but quite separate themes: the relationship between urban, typically Parisian, ‘crowd’ violence and authority, and the difference between Revolutionary violence and vio- lence under the ancien régime.3 While the politics of popular violence still provokes debate, there is greater consensus on the latter point, and the difference between Revolutionary violence and earlier forms of Franco-French conflict remains critical to our understanding of the Revolution as a rupture with the past. With little in the way of technological innovation to distinguish Revolutionary violence from that which preceded it, the basis for that distinction is primarily one of intention, a matter of the more ambitious aims that inspired communities to take up arms after the events of 1789 revealed that popular violence could bring about regime change. -

I E De partment of History kinetics ’: '. Edward V . Zavell The french Revolution, besides bringing about an enormous change in the lives of the peeple of France, produced a new elite in both the army and the national political arena. Of all the individuals emerging from the new system, beyond question the most spectacular was Napoleon Bonaparte. Rising from the ranks of the Irench army. Napoleon, a Corsican, seized the reins of the government and proceeded to rule France from 1799 to 1815. During this brief span of tine he transformed France from a country ridden by internal and external strife into the most formidable Empire the modern world had witnessed to that time. This thesis concerns itself with the beginnings of Napoleon's meteoric rise, namely the siege of Toulon in 1793 and 13 Vende‘niaire (October 5, 1795). Napoleon's true role at these episodes still remains an enigma. Just as important, for the historian, is the fact that his activity has been the subject of disagreement and controversy. In an attempt to discover the facts and more clearly define these occurrences, all available source materials have been examined. -

Members of these societies, frustrated by their sense that the emerging Federalist executive branch of government was becoming dangerously elitist, and alienated by decision-making in Congress, met regularly to compose resolutions to publish in local and national papers and so make their concerns widely known. Many Federalists, in and out of government, became wary of these societies and their increased presence in the public sphere. -
Egypt's Finances and Foreign Campaigns, 1810-1840. by 1 Ali A
Egypt's Finances and Foreign Campaigns, 1810-1840. by 1 Ali A. Soliman, Visiting Professor, Cairo University0F , and M. Mabrouk Kotb, Assoc. Professor, Fayoum University, Egypt. I. Introduction: In May 1805 Egypt selected for the first time in its long history a ruler of its own choice. "Muhammad Ali Pasha" was chosen by the Cairo intellectuals (Ulemas) and community leaders to rule them after a long period of turmoil following the departure of the French forces who tried to subjugate Egypt, 1798-1801. The expulsion of the French from Egypt was the result of three supporting forces, the Ottomans who had ruled Egypt since 1517, the British, who would not allow the French to threaten their route to India, and the Egyptian nationals who staged two costly revolts which made the continuation of French presence untenable. Although "Muhammad Ali" had served in the Ottoman army which was sent to regain Egypt, he was willing to accept the peoples' mandate to rule them fairly and according to their wishes (Al- Jabbarti, 1867) and (Dodwell, 1931). Such an accord was not accepted by the Ottomans, and the British alike. The first tried to remove him to another post after one year of his rule. Again, popular support and the right amount of bribes to the Sultan and his entourage assured his continuation as "Waly" (viceroy) of Egypt. A year later, the British sent an occupying force under "Frasier" that was defeated, a short distance of its landing in Alexandria, near Rosetta (1807). For most of the years of his long reign, 1805- 1848, "Muhammad Ali Pasha" (we shall refer to him also as the Pasha) had to engage in five major wars to solidify his position as a ruler of Egypt. -

Chapter 46 -- Le Jour De Gloire Arrives for Napoleon and France
Chapter 46 -- Le Jour de Gloire Arrives For Napoleon And France Dates: Sections: 1804-1806 Napoleon Crowns Himself Emperor And Resumes War With Britain Sidebar: Roll Call Of Key 18-19th Century Foreign Monarchs Napoleon’s Momentum Is Hindered Momentarily By Lord Nelson At Trafalgar On Land, The French Win One Major Battle After Another ************************************* December 4, 1804 Napoleon Crowns Himself Emperor And Resumes War With Britain On December 2, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte establishes hereditary power over France for his family, as he crowns himself Emperor at Notre Dame Cathedral. The service is designed to mimic the standards set for royal successions across Europe. To insure that Napoleon will reign “in the eyes of God,” Pope Pius VII attends the ceremony in person. The 62 year old pontiff has been in office for four years, and is intent on restoring the Church’s standing in France after seeing papal authority stripped away during the people’s revolution. His first step here is the Concordat of 1801, negotiated with Napoleon as First Counsul, which recognizes Catholicism as the “religion of the great majority” in France, while dropping claims to church lands seized during the overthrow of the old order. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) Napoleon enters Notre Dame after Pius is already seated. He arrives with his wife, Josephine, in a carriage drawn by eight horses. He is gowned up in an eighty pound coronation mantle, supported by four Ch46-1 manservants, and embroidered with “golden bees,” which he favors over the traditional fleur-de-lis symbol for France. When the moment comes for the Pope to crown him, Napoleon intercedes by placing the laurel wreath on his own head and repeating the act for Josephine as Queen. -

The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794
Securing the Revolutionary State: The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794 By Carlos GARCIA DE LA HUERTA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the university degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History September 2020 [Page intentionally left blank] i Supervision: Professor Marisa LINTON (First Supervisor) 1 Dr Rachael JOHNSON 2 1 Professor in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom 2 Senior Lecturer in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom ii [Page intentionally left blank] iii Abstract The history of counter-espionage during the early years of the French Revolution has been curiously overlooked by scholars and non-fiction writers alike. Until now, no single study has appeared, or indeed been published, charting the course of its development during the period in discussion. This thesis aims to fill this lacuna, not by offering an episodic account of its activities but by examining the precepts, perceptions and procedures that determined its conduct as it relates to la sûreté de l’état. Its objective, in other words, is to demonstrate how the pursuit and punishment of spies is not a simple cloak and dagger tale of hidden plots and secret agents but a fundamental question of national security. As this thesis will explain, the role that counter-espionage played is actually of central importance to our understanding of how the revolutionaries defended and securitized their embryonic state at a crucial juncture in its existence. -
Maxime Du Camp's Ph
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture BEYOND THE FAÇADE: MAXIME DU CAMP’S PHOTOGRAPHS OF EGYPT A Thesis in Art History by Whitney A. Izzo © 2009 Whitney A. Izzo Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2009 ii The thesis of Whitney A. Izzo was reviewed and approved* by the following: Nancy Locke Associate Professor of Art History Thesis Adviser Brian Curran Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract The photographs of Egypt from Maxime Du Camp’s photographic book Egypt, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie (1852) are at once a reminder of the West’s storied, and often sordid, history of colonialism and treatment of the “Other,” and also of France’s very specific imperial relationship with Egypt. From written works and popular media to visual imagery, Du Camp’s images are part of an established Orientalist vocabulary. More importantly, however, Du Camp’s photographs continue to reference France’s language of dominance laid out by Napoleon in his 1798 invasion and scientific expedition into Egypt. Rather than focusing specifically on the physical conquests of colonization—as is commonly the case when examining Western Orientalism—I will discuss Du Camp’s work with an emphasis on its relation to cultural hegemony. Just as relevant as physically occupying and dominating the “Other,” cultural colonization connects Western superiority with controlling and establishing structures of knowledge. In comparing Du Camp’s images with Francis Frith’s photographs of Egypt and Napoleon’s Description de l’Egypte, I will demonstrate the relation of Du Camp’s photographs to France’s attempt to present itself as an imperial power.
