The Emergence of Britain's Global Naval Supremacy: The War of 1739-1748
ISBN: 9781843835806 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The British involvement in the war of 1739-1748 has been generally neglected. Standing between the great victories of Marlborough in the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1713) and the even greater victories of the Seven Years War (1756-1763), it has been dismissed as inconclusive and incompetently managed. For the first time this book brings together the political and operational conduct of the war to explore its contribution to a critical development in British history during the eighteenth century - the emergence of Britain as the paramount global naval power. The war posed a unique set of...

Visions of Empire: Voyages, Botany, and Representations of Nature
ISBN: 9780521172615 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This 1996 collection examines the discovery of plants and peoples of the Pacific in the eighteenth century by European scientists and travellers. The contributors conceptualise the process of discovery, which involved active cultural solutions to problems of representation, rather than mere collection and passive depiction. These solutions both reflected and created visions of empire. Studies of the voyages of Banks and Cook investigate their mobilisation of resources. Other essays examine the economic and theological roots of Linnaeus's natural history, and the importance of the sexual...

The Journal of MR Samuel Holmes, Serjeant-Major of the Xith Light Dragoons, During His Attendance, as One of the Guard on Lord Macartney's Embassy to
ISBN: 9781108013789 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This journal, kept by a soldier in the Light Dragoons of the voyage to 'China and Tartary' in the years 1792 1793, was published in 1798. Holmes kept his diary during the attempt by Lord Macartney to establish an embassy in China. Macartney returned to Britain unsuccessful, heightening western curiosity about this secluded and mysterious nation, and so this account by a soldier assigned to Lord Macartney's guard remains an important historical source on Europeans in China during this period. While, as the editor's preface admits, the text is not of great literary significance ('written by a...

ISBN: 9783428085972 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Friedrich der Große ist Wissenschaftlern und historisch Interessierten als ein "Klassiker der Diplomatie" gut bekannt. Doch wie dachte der König über das europäische Gleichgewicht, das sich im 18. Jahrhundert zwischen den Großmächten herausgebildet hatte? Welche Rolle spielte diese Kategorie in seinem außenpolitischen Verständnis? Der Autor behandelt diese Frage schwerpunktmäßig für die Zeit nach dem Hubertusburger Frieden und konstatiert zunächst, daß der unter dem Einfluß der deutschen und französischen Frühaufklärung stehende Kronprinz seine Vorstellungen von einer...

Scottish Public Opinion and the Anglo-Scottish Union, 1699-1707
ISBN: 9781843836513 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The common perception of the Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707 as a "political job," stitched up by a corrupt Scottish elite behind closed doors, is robustly challenged in this study, which shows how public debate and the mobilisation of popular opinion shaped the union crisis from beginning to end. It considers how the Country party sought to influence political outcomes by aggressively encouraging the public expression of oppositional opinion in pamphlets, petitions and crowds, from the Darien crisis of 1699-1701 to the parliamentary debates on incorporation in 1706-7. It also examines the...

French Revolutionaries and English Republicans: The Cordeliers Club, 1790-1794
ISBN: 9781843836469 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Following the cataclysmic events of 1789, some of those involved in the Revolution began to take seriously the possibility of a French republic. Various ideas developed about the form this should take and the models on which it could be based, from those of ancient Greece and Rome, to modern republics such as Geneva or the United States of America. However, a small number of thinkers - centred around the radical, Paris-based Cordeliers Club - looked to the writings of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English republicans for guidance about realising ancient republican ideals in the modern...
