Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The birth of the modern world as told through the remarkable story of one eighteenth-century family They were abolitionists, speculators, slave owners, government officials, and occasional politicians. They were observers of the anxieties and dramas of empire. And they were from one family. The Inner Life of Empires tells the intimate history of the Johnstones--four sisters and seven brothers who lived in Scotland and around the globe in the fast-changing eighteenth century. Piecing together their voyages, marriages, debts, and lawsuits, and examining their ideas, sentiments, and values, renowned historian Emma Rothschild illuminates a tumultuous period that created the modern economy, the British Empire, and the philosophical Enlightenment. One of the sisters joined a rebel army, was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle, and escaped in disguise in 1746. Her younger brother was a close friend of Adam Smith and David Hume. Another brother was fluent in Persian and Bengali, and married to a celebrated poet. He was the owner of a slave known only as "Bell or Belinda," who journeyed from Calcutta to Virginia, was accused in Scotland of infanticide, and was the last person judged to be a slave by a court in the British isles. In Grenada, India, Jamaica, and Florida, the Johnstones embodied the connections between European, American, and Asian empires. Their family history offers insights into a time when distinctions between the public and private, home and overseas, and slavery and servitude were in constant flux. Based on multiple archives, documents, and letters, The Inner Life of Empires looks at one family's complex story to describe the origins of the modern political, economic, and intellectual world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the College of New Jersey, Vol. 1: From Its Origin in 1746 to the Commencement of 1854 The plan of this work will be seen at once by a glance at the table of contents. In his letter to the Trustees resigning the office of President, the writer mentioned that it was his purpose to devote a portion of his time to the collecting of materials for a history of the Col lege. Accordingly, the earlier portions of his manuscripts were labelled materials for a history. But, learning that his former colleagues, and also the friends of the College generally, looked to him to set in order and to publish, as well as to collect, the requisite facts for a history of the institution, he determined to do what he could in this direction; and the following volumes are the result. This statement will account, in a measure, for whatever lack there may be of a proper grouping of the incidents given in the narratives of the different administrations. Several important matters, which at the first he intended to introduce into this work, have been omitted, for the reason that they have already been given to the public, - viz sketches of the two literary societies of the College, and brief notices of the more distinguished graduates. The Histories of the Societies, by Professors Giger and Cameron, and the work of the Rev. Dr. Samuel D. Alexander, entitled 'i Princeton College during the Eighteenth Century, have happily relieved the writer from any obligation to attempt what these gentlemen have done so well and it is earnestly hoped that Dr. Alexander's work may be so enlarged as to include at least the graduates of the first half of the nineteenth century.

This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Princeton College Administrations in the Nineteenth Century The funds of the college and its buildings suffered greatly during the War of the Revolution. Its library was scattered and its philosophical apparatus almost entirely destroyed. The trustees appealed to the State of New Jersey for aid, and the state granted six hundred pounds a year, proclamation money, for a period of three years; the use of the money being limited to the repair of the college buildings, the restoration of the college library and the repair and purchase of philosophical apparatus. This appropria tion was intended simply to made good losses which the college had suffered as a consequence of the war; and if the in uence exerted by the college on behalf of the independence of the colony is considered, it must be regarded rather as the payment of a debt than as a gift. Dr. Minto, the professor of mathematics and natural philosophy, died in 1796. The college was too poor to fill his place with another professor, and the work of his chair was taken by Prof. Maclean. The reputation which Prof. Mae lean gave to the college led to applications on the part of students who desired to pursue only the scientific part of the college curric ulum. These applications were granted by the board, and a reso lution was passed not only that they should be permitted to read on scientific subjects only, but also that they should receive certificates of their proficiency, to be publicly delivered to them on the day of commencement, the college reserving to itself the privilege of bestowing honorary degrees on those who have highly distinguished themselves in science in this or other colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary and cultural history of the intimate space of the eighteenth-century closet—and how it fired the imaginations of Pepys, Sterne, Swift, and so many other writers Long before it was a hidden storage space or a metaphor for queer and trans shame, the closet was one of the most charged settings in English architecture. This private room provided seclusion for reading, writing, praying, dressing, and collecting—and for talking in select company. In their closets, kings and duchesses shared secrets with favorites, midwives and apothecaries dispensed remedies, and newly wealthy men and women expanded their social networks. In The Closet, Danielle Bobker presents a literary and cultural history of these sites of extrafamilial intimacy, revealing how, as they proliferated both in buildings and in books, closets also became powerful symbols of the unstable virtual intimacy of the first mass-medium of print. Focused on the connections between status-conscious—and often awkward—interpersonal dynamics and an increasingly inclusive social and media landscape, The Closet examines dozens of historical and fictional encounters taking place in the various iterations of this room: courtly closets, bathing closets, prayer closets, privies, and the "moving closet" of the coach, among many others. In the process, the book conjures the intimate lives of well-known figures such as Samuel Pepys and Laurence Sterne, as well as less familiar ones such as Miss Hobart, a maid of honor at the Restoration court, and Lady Anne Acheson, Swift's patroness. Turning finally to queer theory, The Closet discovers uncanny echoes of the eighteenth-century language of the closet in twenty-first-century coming-out narratives. Featuring more than thirty illustrations, The Closet offers a richly detailed and compelling account of an eighteenth-century setting and symbol of intimacy that continues to resonate today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Planting of Princeton College The interest of Charles in the education of his people was sin cere and profound and he could have secured no one as his minis ter of education better fitted than was Alcuin, by learning and ardor and industry, to organize a system of schools for the king dom. It is not too much to say, that the future of large and gen erous culture in western Europe had never since the breaking up of the Western Empire appeared brighter than it did when, at the close of the eighth century, Charlemagne was crowned in Rome as the successor of Constantine. But with the death of Charles and the division of his kingdom, the seculum obscurum may almost be said to have commenced. The power which had been centralized in the crown was dissipated throughout the empire. Those who had been the emperor's administrative agents, representing him as lords of the counties, became hereditary and almost independent sovereigns over their small domains. Instead of a strong monarch, a multitude of feudal lords ruled western Europe. This dissipa tion of power was followed by disaster to some of the highest interests of society. It made possible the pornocracy in the capi tal of Christendom. It substituted for a large and imposing government a multitude of small and warring tyrannies. On nothing was its influence more disastrous than on the schools of the liberal arts which Charles and Alcuin had labored so hard to establish and endow. Evervwhere they fell into decay and with their decay, worship became more sensuous and religion more superstitious and less moral, until there appeared no good ground for hope of a revival of learning, or of a reformation of religion, or of the reorganization of society.

Download or read book Print, Visuality, and Gender in Eighteenth-Century Satire written by Katherine Mannheimer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study interprets eighteenth-century satire’s famous typographical obsession as a fraught response to the Enlightenment’s "ocularcentric" epistemological paradigms, as well as to a print-cultural moment identified by book-historians as increasingly "visual" — a moment at which widespread attention was being paid, for the first time, to format, layout, and eye-catching advertising strategies. On the one hand, the Augustans were convinced of the ability of their elaborately printed texts to function as a kind of optical machinery rivaling that of the New Science, enhancing readers’ physical but also moral vision. On the other hand, they feared that an overly scrutinizing gaze might undermine the viewer’s natural faculty for candor and sympathy, delight and desire. In readings of Pope, Swift, and Montagu, Mannheimer shows how this distrust of the empirical gaze led to a reconsideration of the ethics, and most specifically the gender politics, of ocularcentrism. Whereas Montagu effected this reconsideration by directly satirizing both the era’s faith in the visual and its attendant publishing strategies, Pope and Swift pursued their critique via print itself: thus whether via facing-page translations, fictional editors, or disingenuous footnotes, these writers sought to ensure that typography never became either a mere tool of (or target for) the objectifying gaze, but rather that it remained a dynamic and interactive medium by which readers could learn both to see and to see themselves seeing.
