Abstract:

Sandwiched between the American Revolution and the Civil War,the War of 1812 seldom merits our attention. Except for the burning of Washington and Jackson’s after-the-fact victory at New Orleans, few people know or remember much about it. To be honest, American military forces were not very successful during the conflict save for the warships of the tiny U. S. Navy. In singleship battles during the war, the Americans beat the British, the world’s greatest naval power, in six of seven encounters. The U.S.S. Wasp, a sloop-of-war under the command of North Carolinian Johnston Blakeley, won one of

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In early 1916 the African American community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, mounted a resistance to the planned showing of D.W. Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation. Lancaster serves as a case study for this event, mirroring a wider national turmoil over race catalyzed by the film's release. This story reflects the changing attitudes of how Americans viewed the Civil War and Reconstruction at the start of the twentieth century, both in film and in real life.

The application of scanning electron microscopy with the aid of an energy dispersive X-ray detector (SEM-EDAX), and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) allowed the determination, by nondestructive means, of a set of diagnostic features. The specimens identified as halfpennies present a dendritic microstructure, typical of a process of melting and casting, and a copper alloy with varying amounts of tin, zinc, iron and lead.

Abstract A 1764 manuscript petition, a “humble Petition” from Lancaster County, differs substantially from the published Remonstrance that has been taken to represent the views of the Paxton Boys, who murdered 20 Native Americans in Lancaster County and attempted to destroy 140 more in the Philadelphia Barracks. The Remonstrance, which began with a Whiggish demand for increased legislative representation for frontier counties, has led historians to describe the Paxton Boys as frontier democrats who marched on Philadelphia to present grievances to the provincial government.

Abstract:

Since the conception of post-war national welfare states and the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the notions of citizenship and of civic, political and social rights were institutionalised in European welfare states. In that vein, a social work workforce acquired a professional and public mandate to implement social policies. During recent decades, however, welfare state arrangements seem to have moved in another direction. The premise that the welfare state is responsible for social protection and the redistribution of resources has subtly shifted into one of an

Abstract Members of Moravian “town and country” congregations in eighteenth-century America confronted particular challenges: unable or unwilling to separate themselves from “the world,” such Moravians were often looked at with suspicion by church authorities in settlement congregations such as Bethlehem.

The situation was complicated by the fact that the heirs had not yet reached the age of majority. This circumstance caused a split among the relatives into two groups: supporters and opponents of the removal of the king from the throne. Their confrontation sparked a civil war, which led to the t

The French monarchy was the model of a strong centralized state in medieval Western Europe. At the same time it was formed as a national state and relied on the active promotion of national identity. In this context the treaty of Troyes in 1420 on the union of France and England under the rule of the English monarchs looks like a ridiculous and inept attempt to end the long-standing conflict, referred to in historiography as the Hundred Years’ War. However, the “union of two crowns” was not perceived by contemporaries as absurd. A vivid confirmation of this is the alternative union plan propos

Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, many Royal Navy warships were laid up before being sold into merchant service or for breaking up. Large numbers of sloops, schooners and cutters had been built for war service between 1803 and 1814, mostly in private shipyards. The versatility of these smaller classes of vessels was evident in their diverse and demanding wartime roles and subsequently in mercantile trading or whaling. One such vessel, the Cruizer-class brig-sloop HMS Pilot (1807), was commissioned in 1808, served until 1816 and, after an extended period in reserve, was sold out

Abstract:

The American Farm Community Study (1940), funded by the USDA’s Bureau of Agricultural Economics, was a social investigation that sought to determine why some rural communities thrive while others fail. To conduct the Study, the Bureau sent social scientists to six rural communities across the country to investigate and document the most and least “stable” American communities. Geographer Walter Kollmorgen, sociologist Charles Loomis, and photographer Irving Rusinow documented the Old Order Amish of Lancaster County, PA, as the “most stable” community in the Study. In Lancaster, the men found a

Abstract:

Canada, at the outset of World War II, could not be regarded as an industrialized nation. Wheat, mining and the export of raw materials were still dominant features of the national economy. By the end of five years of war, however, the whole picture had been transformed as a result of Canada’s remarkable wartime industrialization, complementing the contribution of her fighting forces overseas. Lancaster bombers were being produced, fully operational, as well as complete radar sets and a wide variety of war material. Even so specialized a product as optical glass produced to exacting standards

This highly valuable book closely scrutinizes a variety of documents produced by the Hundred Years War main contenders roughly between the early 1300’s, a few decades before Edward III declared his intent to prosecute a war against his cousin Jean II for the crown of France, until a little bit after 1453, when Calais became the last remaining possession under Henry VI’s control. Pondering on the historical research in the last half century, the world leading expert Professor Anne Curry points out in a richly concise introduction the clear attempt to dialogue with Kenneth Fowler’s The Hundred Y

Abstract:

In 1963, Luchino Visconti completed his Italian Risorgimento epic The Leopard (Il gattopardo, 1963) - one of the best Italian films ever made and a classic of world cinema. In it, the director conjures an era of aristocratic elegance and charm, his own world in fact, being swept away by the energetic and unscrupulous upstarts of the rising bourgeoisie - "the jackals and the sheep" - opportunistically surfing the waves of Garibaldi's popular uprising. This successful transformation into film of the spirit of Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa's outstanding novel was made possible by the participation

Abstract:

Introduction John Blair Deaver was an iconic American surgeon who rose in prominence at the outset of the 20th century when the specialty of urology was in its infancy. By some accounts he was a difficult personality and made an enemy of J. William White, the then Chair of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Deaver was also known as a brilliant operative surgeon and educator, performed over 15,000 appendectomies, and invented his eponymous retractor very much in use today. Known more as an abdominal surgeon than a urologist, he still made contributions to the urologic literature and he

Abstract:

Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the recognition of the rising challenge from China have resulted in a closer alignment of American, British and French strategic interests. This policy paper explores how the strategic relationship between the United States, the United Kingdom and France has evolved amid this changed threat environment. The Russia–Ukraine war exposed the limitations of France's policy of ‘strategic autonomy’ and reasserted the importance of an American role in European security. The war has re-focused attention upon the Lancaster House framework in which the UK and

Abstract:

This essay reads Southey’s repeated writings between 1806 and 1812 on the "monitorial method" of education, and the religious-political controversy over its invention and application. I suggest that this repetitive writing provides insights into Southey's career, as well as wider issues of Romantic historicism, originality, authorial integrity, and system. The first section considers Southey’s associative style, and his connection between the use of humiliating punishments in Joseph Lancaster’s monitorial schools and the threat of domestic revolution. The second section reads Southey’s support

Abstract:

Stylistics can be defined as analysing literary texts by employing some linguistic tools. Thus, there is a powerful relationship between stylistics and literary criticism and combining them while doing literary analysis helps literary critics to be more aware of the process of the interpretating literary texts. In this context, this study sets out to examine two significant works in 20th-century English literature within the framework of concepts and theories introduced in the studies of stylistics. The study first analyses Ambulances (1961) by Philip Larkin, a prominent author in post-war Eng

By the following year, his plant in Lancaster, PA, was turning out America's first mass-produced milk-chocolate bar and its cousin, the Hershey Almond Bar.

Abstract:

The Loveday of 1458 (also known as the Annunciation Loveday)[1] was a ritualistic reconciliation between warring factions of the English nobility that took place at St Paul's Cathedral on 25 March 1458. Following the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses in 1455, it was the culmination of lengthy negotiations initiated by King Henry VI to resolve the lords' rivalries. English politics had become increasingly factional during his reign, and was exacerbated in 1453 when he became catatonic. This effectively left the government leaderless, and eventually the King's cousin, and at the time heir to the
