Book excerpt: George Tancred s work originally published in 1891, is now reprinted complete with all the superb illustratons.Tancred had catalogued Colonel Murray s collection, this was a most fortunate liaison as Tancred was able to gain access to a host of numismatic rarities for the illustrations in his book.The Murray collection listed at the end of this work, included 188 MGS and 128 NGS medals, and the largest Regimental Medal collection ever assembled, from these and examples from other collections, Tancred has executed a superb and comprehensive illustrated text on the subject which appears in these pages.Tancred has set out in chronological order the awards bestowed under every monarch, from the Jewel and Star presented to Sir Francis Drake by Queen Elizabeth I, right through to those orders and decorations instituted by Queen Victoria. The NGS and MGS medal sections describes every bar action, naval and military, and opens with an extract from the July 1845 debate by the Duke of Richmond in the House of Lords, concerning the giving of decorations to all veterans of the Peninsular War, the Duke of Wellington s negative comments make fascinating reading.The early wars in India and Afghanistan are fully detailed, some interesting official communications are reprinted including a directive to dispose of surplus medals and what eventually did happen to them.Other campaigns and their related medals are described in detail.With the Sutlej campaign a chart giving regimental strength, battle bar entitlement and number of unit casualties is set out. Among the many illustrations are included some scarce and seldom encountered awards such as: The Monghyr Mutiny medal 1766, First Burma War Medal 1826, Gold Star for Maharajpoor 1843, the Edwardes Gold Medal, for Special Services in the Punjab 1848. Gold Medal for Special Services during the Burmese War 1824-26. The Regimental, Special and Private medals section, a mammoth gathering of 118 individual illustrations with corresponding text, gives a most impressive visual and informative insight into this important area of rewards for exemplary service and skill at arms.Following the same theme a medal roll of recipients of the Army Best Shot Medal is included.The New Zealand Cross section tells the story of the troubled start to this attractive decoration and sets out the correspondence between Government House, Wellington and the ruffled Earl Granville in London.Included are the award statutes together with citations for 20 of the 23 crosses awarded.

Download or read book The Politics of Trade in Safavid Iran written by Rudolph P. Matthee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-09 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a wide range of archival and written sources, Rudi Matthee considers the economic, social and political networks established between Iran, its neighbours and the world at large, through the prism of the late Safavid silk trade. In so doing, he demonstrates how silk, a resource crucial to state revenue and the only commodity to span Iran's entire economic activity, was integral to aspects of late Safavid society, including its approach to commerce, export routes and, importantly, to the political and economic problems which contributed to its collapse in the early 1700s. In a challenge to traditional scholarship, the author argues that despite the introduction of a maritime, western-dominated channel, Iran's traditional land-based silk export continued to expand right up to the end of the seventeenth century. The book makes a major theoretical contribution to the debates on the social and economic history of the pre-modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The essays in this stimulating collection attest to the scope and variety of Russia's influence on British culture. They move from the early nineteenth century -- when Byron sent his hero Don Juan to meet Catherine the Great, and an English critic sought to come to terms with the challenge of Pushkin -- to a series of Russian-themed exhibitions at venues including the Crystal Palace and Earls Court. The collection looks at British encounters with Russian music, the absorption with Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and finishes by shedding light on Britain's engagement with Soviet film."--Back cover.
