Full textAbstract:
There is, among many students of Australian law, a tendency to regard the establishment of constitutional government in Australia in positivistic terms: as a result of the passage of the New South Wales Act in 1823, or of the Australian Courts Act in 1828, or of the Australian Constitution Acts of 1842 and 1850, or even of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act in 1900. This is understandable, for, as Sir Victor Windeyer once put it, there was in the foundation of European society on these islands no element whatever of a social contract. Rather, the move to populate the Australian territories was a consequence entirely of a prospectively looking determination made by the government in London. And, as Windeyer went on to note, the formal establishment of local government was effected by ceremonies that were by their very essence positivistic in nature. On 26 January 1788, there was first a formal ceremony in which the Union flag was raised and a salute fired. Then, on 7 February, the whole population of the colony was assembled and the royal letters patent were read, which formally instructed Captain Phillip to go about the duty of creating a penal establishment.

Full textAbstract:
La doble condición de poeta-traductor de numerosos escritores latinoamericanos durante el proceso de Independencia de las Américas (principios siglo XIX) propició una función activa en la creación de nuevos cánones literarios. Andrés Bello (Caracas, 1781-Santiago de Chile, 1865) es un ilustrativo ejemplo de ello. En efecto, su búsqueda de una autonomía literaria se manifestó no sólo en sus poemas originales, como en el caso de Alocución a la Poesía (1826) y La agricultura de la Zona Tórrida (1826) donde propone su proyecto e ideal poético, sino también en sus traducciones e imitaciones, especialmente las de poesía francesa. Siguiendo esta orientación, podría decirse que su actividad traductora fue, en cierto modo, un camino para construir una nueva literatura, pues con frecuencia usó el modelo original sólo como punto de partida para crear nueva obra.

ArgumentA plagiarism charge in 1827 sparked a public controversy centered between Jean-Victor Poncelet (1788–1867) and Joseph-Diez Gergonne (1771–1859) over the origin and applications of the principle of duality in geometry. Over the next three years and through the pages of various journals, monographs, letters, reviews, reports, and footnotes, vitriol between the antagonists increased as their potential publicity grew. While the historical literature offers valuable resources toward understanding the development, content, and applications of geometric duality, the hostile nature of the exchange seems to have deterred an in-depth textual study of the explicitly polemical writings. We argue that the necessary collective endeavor of beginning and ending this controversy constitutes a case study in the circulation of geometry. In particular, we consider how the duality controversy functioned as a medium of communicating new fundamental principles to a wider audience of practitioners.

The relation between organisms and machines is very old. Over a century ago, the French historian and philosopher Alfred Victor Espinas observed that from the Greeks onwards the intelligibility of the organic world presupposed a comparison with technical objects. Aristotle, for instance, associated living organs with mechanical artefacts in order to understand animals ‘movements. In the modern period, Descartes, Borelli and other mechanists defended the idea that organisms are, in reality, machines. Today, philosophers and scientists still argue that the genome is like a software and the brain is like a computer. In this article I reconsider the relation between organisms and machines from the perspective of the German geographer and philosopher Ernst Kapp (1808-1896), one of the founding fathers of the Philosophy of Technology. Breaking with a long and venerable philosophical tradition, Kapp argued that machines are, in reality, “organic projections”. Organisms are not machines; they are an imitation or reflection of the organic world. First of all, I clarify the hypothesis of “organic projection” (including its virtues and limits). Secondly, I consider some of the philosophical consequences that such a hypothesis entails over the debate between machinists and anti-mechanists. Finally, and following the previous considerations, I defend the importance of reconnecting the philosophy of technology with philosophy of biology in order to better understand the development of contemporary biology.

Religion and the Georgian world of goods are rarely discussed in tandem. The modern history of consumerism is secular in conceptualization. The booming literature on the Georgian world of goods has engaged only glancingly with religious ideas. A series of prejudices about the Hanoverian Church has militated against sustained inquiry into the religious challenges of the Georgian world of goods. The strenuously Christian are conspicuously absent from the history of consumerism. The fashion victim and shrewd consumer matron have their historians, but what of the pious and judgmental? This essay brings two often disconnected schools of historical inquiry into conversation, through an exploration of the spiritual and material for two devout female Anglicans: Katherine Plymley (1758–1829) and Anna Larpent (1758–1832). It charts the negotiation of material ambivalence and the performance of both studied restraint and social status.

Full textAbstract:
A spectre is still haunting historians of nineteenth-century France, the spectre of the bourgeois revolution of 1830, surviving despite the exorcism of revisionists. It is a spector that distorts our image of the liberal opposition to Charles X and of the victors after the July Days. Restoration prefects, moved from department to department with increasing rapidity in Charles X's reign, were content to categorize critics of the Polignac government as bourgeois. In the July Monarchy socialists vilified the elite as an established bourgeoise who robbed the real revolutionaries, the artisans, of their rights.3 Early socialists, including Marx, defined bourgeois broadly, to embrace landowners, but later marxists, writing when France was less of an agrarian state, labelled the bourgeoisie of 1830 as a business and industrial elite. The most recent generation of revisionist historians has shown, by empirical and detailed investigations, that the development of industry and accompanying social change occurred over several centuries and that revolutions, in particular, 1789, were mainly political events and more likely to retard than to facilitate the evolution of bourgeois capitalism. Thus revisionist historians of nineteenth-century France refer to ‘notables’ and stress the numerical dominance of landowners rather than businessmen in the elite of both the Restoration and the July Monarchy.

Full textAbstract:
Students of Javanese society have long recognized that the Java War (1825–30), the bitter five-year struggle against European colonial rule in Java, constituted a watershed in the history of modern Indonesia. In his recent textbook, Professor Ricklefs has characterized the year 1830 as ‘the beginning of the truly colonial period in Java’, arguing that the Java War marked the transition point between the ‘trading’ era of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the years of ‘colonial’ exploitation ushered in by Johannes van den Bosch's well known ‘cultivation systems’. In military and political terms, the costly Dutch victory over the javanese made them, for the first time in their three and a half centuries of involvement in the archipelago, the undisputed masters of Java. At the same time, scholars of Javanese Islam have suggested that the defeat of the Javanese leader, Dipanagara (1785–1855), and the religious ideals for which he fought (most notably his goal of strengthening the institutional position of Islam in Javanese society), temporarily undermined the morale and self-confidence of the Islamic communities in Java. Specialists in the history of the central Javanese principalities (vorstenlanden), especially those interested in cultural developments, have also seen the Javanese failure in 1825–30 as a setback to the vitality and independence of the Javanese cultural tradition, a time when Javanese society began to turn in on itself and lose something of its strength and flexibility.

Full textAbstract:
Britain's “long” eighteenth century, which began with one aristocratic revolution in 1688 and ended with another in 1832, was a pageant of success. The nation's art and architecture reached their elegant and original best. Its capital became the center of print culture, finance, fashion, and commercial creativity, the largest and most vibrant city in the Western world. The British constitution became a topic for eulogy, as much by the unenlightened and illiterate at home as by the Enlightenment literati abroad. The armed forces, fiscal system, and bureaucracy of the British state grew in efficacy and range, bringing victory in all but one of a succession of major wars. Legitimized by achievement and buttressed by massive economic and political power, Britain's landed elite kept at bay every domestic revolution except the industrial one, which only enriched it more. The American Revolution, of course, was not averted; but while this crisis embarrassed the British Empire, it did not destroy it. Even before 1776, the conquest of Canada had reduced the thirteen colonies' strategic significance, just as their profitability to the mother country had been outstripped by its Indian possessions; their final loss was made up, and more than made up, with relentless and almost contemptuous speed. Between 1780 and 1820 some 150 million men and women in India, Africa, the West Indies, Java, and the China coast succumbed to British naval power and trading imperatives.

Dupuis, Guy. "Pour une approche temporalisée et épistémologique de l'autisme : le sauvage de l'Aveyron au sein de l'oeuvre médico-philosophique de Jean-Marc Gaspard Itard (1774-1838) comme prémices de la complexe figure de l'enfant autiste." Nantes, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2008NANT3031.
Full textAbstract:
Face aux tensions idéologiques suscitées par l’autisme, l’auteur propose que l’advenue de cette entité pédopsychiatrique soit mise en perspective dans le temps. La démarche, associée à l’étude de la temporalité dans l’autisme, conduit à l’enfant Sauvage de l’Aveyron dont la mémoire ne demeure qu’en raison de son éducation par Itard (1774-1838). L’auteur contextualise les conditions d’avènement de l’expérience, rassemblant, à cet effet, l’œuvre d’Itard en un recueil inédit. La protohistoire de l��autisme se trouve insérée dans une construction médico-philosophique où, à un intérêt initial pour l’aliénation, se substitue l’exploration des maladies de l’oreille et des hydropisies. Ce clivage n’est qu’apparent car l’enfant Sauvage réapparaît dans une controverse tardive sur la guérison des sourds-muets où Itard défend le rôle de la pensée et révèle avoir toujours poursuivi des éducations d’enfants idiots. Les prémices complexes de l’autisme éclairent nos conflits actuelsAs autism gives rise to ideological tensions, the author proposes that the advent of this pedo-psychiatric entity be studied in relation to time. This approach, associated with the study of temporality in autism, leads to the Wild Boy of Aveyron who is only remembered thanks to his education by Itard (1774-1838). The author contextualizes the conditions of the advent of the experience, and gathers, to this effect, an unprecedented compilation of Itard's work. The protohistory of autism is placed within a medico-philosiphical construction in which, to an initial interest in alienation, is substituted the exploration of ear diseases and dropsies. This is only a surface substitution for the Wild Boy comes back to the forefront in a late controversy over the healing of the deaf-mute, a controversy in which Itard defends the role of thought and reveals that he always kept educating idiotic children. The complex premises of autism shed light on today's conflicts

Cette etude apprehende l'oeuvre de victor hugo (jusqu'en 1824 strictement) dans la perspective de la condamnation du romantisme par la societe royale des bonnes-lettres et par les quatre academies, fin 1823 et debut 1824. Elle entreprend d'etablir que l'oeuvre de hugo se trouva au foyer meme de cette condamnation, laquelle n'etait aucunement motivee par l'identification d'un liberalisme latent, mais par le refus d'un inflechissement particulier du royalisme (developpe a partir d'une reecriture de chateaubriand) qui deniait a la restauration d'etre advenue reellement : tendu vers l'avenir, soutenu par l'assurance que la revolution marquait une epoque nouvelle - mais que celle-ci etait intimement menacee par le mal qui avait fait irruption dans l'histoire -, ce royalisme visait a la fondation poetique d'une souverainete de droit divin, organique et vertueuse - au moment meme ou le poete, dont la legitimite residait precisement dans l'assomption, par sa vertu, de sa destination divine, devait reconnaitre que dieu lui demeurait cacheThis thesis considers its subject (victor hugo until 1824, strictly) in its relation to the condamnation of romanticism by the societe royale des bonneslettres and the quatre academies, end of 1823 and beginning of 1824. The purpose is to make clear that victor hugo's work has been concerned in the first place by this condamnation, but by no means because of a concealed liberalism. Has been condamned a particular inflection of royalism (built through a rewriting of chateaubriand) that refused to the restauration the fact of being a real restauration. The strong tense of victor hugo's work to the future, the strength found in the certitude that the french revolution was opening a new era, were fought by the also strong certitude that the future was intimately threatened by the bad that had just made a formidable irruption in history ; his royalism tried to base poetically an organical sovereignety of divine law, and in the same time, the poet, whose legitimacy lay in the assomption of his divine destination, was obliged to confess that god stayed hidden to him

François Guizot et Victor Cousin sont deux auteurs particulièrement maltraités. Pourtant l'un et l'autre ont contribué de manière particulièrement efficace, comme penseurs puis comme hommes politiques au rétablissement de l'université française et des hautes études. Ils ont également, l'un et l'autre, joue un rôle majeur dans la construction de l'idée d'instruction publique. Guizot, par ses études historiques, sa théorie de la civilisation et de la barbarie et sa réflexion sur le rapport de la religion avec la pensée rationnelle a apporté une contribution importante au développement du rationalisme français. En outre, ses réflexions sur l'éducation resteront une source d'inspiration pour les réformateurs de la troisième république. Victor Cousin, quant à lui, réinstalle l'enseignement philosophique dans l'enseignement secondaire et supérieur, introduit en France la philosophie allemande et rétablit les études cartésiennes. Sa propre doctrine, l'éclectisme, reste une doctrine puissante et, sans doute, incontournable. Chez lui aussi se trouve une doctrine de l'éducation et de l'instruction publiqueFrançois Guizot and Victor Cousin are two authors particularly illtreated. However, they both have contributed, in a particularly efficacious way, as thinkers and political men to the re-establishment of the French university and the hight studies. Guizot, by his historical studies, his civilisation and barbarian's theory, and his thought upon rational and religious thinking, brought an important part in the french rationalism developpement. Beyong this, is thoughts upon education will stay as an inspiration drawn for the french troisieme republique. Victor Cousin, as to him, reinstalled philosophical teaching in the secondary schools and universities. He introduced german philosophy in france and re-established cartesian studies. His own philosophy, eclectism, remains, notwithstanding, a powerfull theory, and, without any doubt, unavoidable. An educational and public instruction thought can be found in his work too

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the extent to which Ibn Khaldun can legitimately be considered a founding father of sociology. To pursue this research, Khaldun's theoretical framework will be compared with four Western scholars: Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim, Giambattista Vico, and Ludwig Gumplowicz. This paper begins with an Introduction (Chapter I), followed by a general overview of Khaldun's work (Chapter II). Next, Khaldun's work is compared to that of Auguste Comte (Chapter III), Emile Durkheim (Chapter IV), Ludwig Gumplowicz (Chapter V) and Giambattista Vico (Chapter VI). In each of these chapters, Khaldun is compared and contrasted to the other social theorist, illustrating their similarities and considering their differences. Finally, in Chapter VII, I put forth conclusions that consider the extent to which Khaldun can validly be considered a founding father of sociology.

Full textAbstract:
Aux dix-huitieme et au dix-neuvieme siecles, le sublime s'est progressivement constitue comme une tradition esthetique et philosophique, en france, en angleterre et en allemagne, autour de grands textes theoriques et poetiques, notamment ceux de diderot, schiller, wordsworth, shelley, hugo et michelet. Du sublime du crime au concept d'humanite ideale, le sublime chez diderot et schiller sous-tend un humanisme conquerant. Avec le romantisme, il devient plus paradoxal en se definissant surtout par son contraire, l'humble et le grotesque. Le sublime devient aussi une experience visionnaire et poetique fondee sur une dialectique entre nature et esprit, monde sensible et transcendance, histoire et mythe. La modernite du sublime, sa valeur d'actualite, vient de cette fonction d'inauguration, de "tabula rasa" poetique, que lui ont assignee les romantiquesDuring the eighteenth, then the nineteenth centuries, the sublime became an aesthetic and philosophical tradition, in english, french and german literature, particularly in the theoretical and poetical works of diderot, schiller, wordsworth, hugo and michelet. With diderot and schiller, the sublime is not only linked to the burkian "delight", it underlies a concept of ideal humanity. With the romanticism, the sublime becomes more paradoxical, being defined by its contrary - the grotesque, the humble, in hugo and wordsworth - or by a visionary experience (in hugo, shelley, michelet) based upon a dialectic between nature and spirit, sensible universe and transcendance, history and myth

Full textAbstract:
Dans la France du début du XIXe siècle, Marie Madeleine de Bengy de Bonnault d’Houët (1781-1858) fonde les Fidèles Compagnes de Jésus, afin d'« être jésuite ». Que signifiait l'utilisation du modèle jésuite comme instrument d'action ? Quelles sont les constructions identitaires, tant masculines que féminines, qui émergent de cette initiative ? En partant d'une approche au croisement entre genre et religion, basée sur des sources écrites produites par des femmes et des hommes, ainsi que des sources institutionnelles, il s'agira de faire l'histoire du rapport entre les sexes au niveau individuel, à partir de la fondatrice et des jésuites de son entourage, et au niveau collectif, à partir de l'enjeu d'institutionnalisation de la congrégation nouvellement créée, face à la Compagnie de Jésus et aux Congrégations de la curie romaine. Devant cette proposition de vie religieuse féminine, la réponse de l'Église est plurielle, se traduisant par des conflits comme des collaborations, indépendamment de ses niveaux hiérarchiques et géographiques.Deux fondements de la légitimation guident cette recherche : celui du parcours d'une femme et de ses conditions d'accès à l'autorité dans un dispositif masculin, mais également celui d'une femme en marge de l'Église devenue candidate à la sainteté. Le corpus hagiographique, composé de multiples formes de récits et des positiones, oscille entre plusieurs représentations genrées de Madame d'Houët, pour finalement valider une féminité qui échappe à ce qui est perçu comme les limites de son sexe tout en se conformant à l'idéal de la fondatriceIn early 19th century France, Mary Magdalene de Bengy de Bonnault d'Houët (1781-1858) founded the Faithful Companions of Jesus in order to "be a Jesuit". What did the use of the Jesuit model mean as an instrument of action? What are the masculine and feminine identities that emerge from this initiative? Situated at the crossroads of gender and religious history, based on written sources produced by women and men, as well as institutional sources, this project seeks to understand the relationship between the sexes at the individual level, through the founder and the Jesuits in her entourage, and at the collective level, through the institutionalization of the newly created congregation, faced with the Society of Jesus and the Congregations of the Roman Curia. The Church's response towards this proposal of female religious life is plural, resulting in conflicts and collaboration, regardless of its hierarchical and geographical levels.Two foundations of legitimation guide this research: on the one hand, a woman's journey and her conditions of access to authority in a male system, on the other, a woman on the margins of the Church who has become a candidate for sainthood. The hagiographical corpus, composed of multiple narratives and the “positiones”, oscillates between several gendered representations of Madame d'Houët, to finally validate a femininity that escapes what is perceived as the limits of her sex while conforming to the foundress' ideal

A presente tese carrega o ônus de afirmar a relevância dos textos de Henry David Thoreau para a filosofia moral. Duas estratégias paralelas foram utilizadas para cumprir a tarefa. A primeira consiste na discussão pormenorizada de um conjunto de autores que apresentaram para Thoreau diferentes visões sobre a moralidade e o papel da filosofia na tecitura de uma vida digna de ser vivida: o Unitarismo de William Ellery Channing, as doutrinas do Scottish Common Sense de Dugald Stewart e Thomas Reid, o utilitarismo teológico de William Paley, o intuicionismo racional dos Platonistas de Cambridge (representados aqui por Ralph Cudworth), Orestes Brownson e Ralph Waldo Emerson – dois dos principais nomes do Transcendentalismo da Nova Inglaterra e Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Victor Cousin e Thomas Carlyle – primeiros intérpretes do Idealismo Alemão para o mundo de língua inglesa. A segunda estratégia articula a reação de Thoreau a essas diferentes posições sobre a moralidade, mostrando como, a partir dessa reação, ele foi capaz de formular um exercício de pensamento moral, cristalizado, emblematicamente, na escritura de Walden. O conceito de “identidade ficcional” foi pensado para capturar as diferentes técnicas utilizadas nesse exercício.The present thesis carries the burden of asserting the relevance of Henry David Thoreau´s texts for moral philosophy.

The first is a thorough discussion of a group of authors who presented to Thoreau different views on morality and the role of philosophy in the weaving of a life worthy of being lived: William Ellery Channing´s Unitarianism, the doctrines of the Scottish Common Sense - Dugald Stewart and Thomas Reid, William Paley´s theological utilitarianism, rational intuitionism of Cambridge Platonists (represented here by Ralph Cudworth), Orestes Brownson and Ralph Waldo Emerson - two of the leading names of New England Transcendentalism and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Victor Cousin and Thomas Carlyle - first interpreters of German Idealism to the English-speaking world. The second strategy articulates Thoreau´s reaction to these different positions on morality, showing how, from this reaction, he was able to formulate an exercise in moral thinking, crystallized, emblematically, in the writing of Walden. The concept of "fictional identity" was designed to capture different techniques used in this exercise.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail propose de lire un moment de l’histoire littéraire française à travers le prisme de l’animal, et plus particulièrement de ses représentations anthropomorphes. À partir de la littérature et de la pensée du xixe siècle, il s’agit de complexifier une définition restrictive de la notion d’anthropomorphisme en réfléchissant au statut de l’animal dans l’imaginaire romantique. L’anthropomorphisme est traditionnellement considéré comme une perception du monde naïve et spontanée et cette tendance à douer les choses et les êtres d’émotions, d’intentions ou de réactions supposées propres aux hommes repose sur un raisonnement analogique qui est à l’origine de genres littéraires aussi universels que la fable ou d’autres types d’apologues, qui héritent de ce préjugé de simplicité : l’anthropomorphisme serait ce mode de représentation non réaliste, divertissant voire comique, qui n’instruit qu’au prix d’une distorsion de la réalité. Au xixe siècle émerge une nouvelle conception de l’animal, en rupture avec celle de l’âge classique. L’histoire naturelle et la pensée romantique découvrent des parentés profondes entre l’homme et l’animal, qui donnent à l’anthropomorphisme un fondement épistémologique et philosophique, mais aussi affectif et politique, puisque l’idée d’une continuité entre les vivants est l’un des piliers de l’argumentation républicaine en faveur de la protection, puis du droit des animaux, depuis la période révolutionnaire. À partir d’un corpus littéraire, philosophique et scientifique, et d’une attention à l’histoire des animaux, de leur statut et de leurs traitements, ce travail voudrait dresser un panorama des paradigmes analogiques par lesquels les hommes ont pensé leurs liens aux animaux dans la première moitié du xixe siècle. Cette période apparaîtra ainsi comme un moment important de la reconfiguration du symbolisme animal, qui invente une forme d’allégorie réaliste, conciliant souci de l’animal et confiance en l’analogieThis work attempts to read a moment of French literary history through the lens of animals, and more specifically anthropomorphic representations of them. From the 19th literature and thought, it will put forward a less restrictive definition of the notion of anthropomorphism by considering the status of animals in the romantic imaginary. Anthropomorphism is traditionally perceived as a naïve and spontaneous perception of the world. This tendency to endow things and beings with emotions, intentions or reactions supposedly inherent to humans is based on an analogical thinking that underlies literary genres as universal as fables or other kinds of apologues, that are also seen as simple, as if anthropomorphism was only this non-realistic, entertaining and even comical, mode of representation, that educates only thanks to a distortion of reality. During the 19th century, a new conception of animals emerges, breaking with the classical era. Natural history and romantic philosophy discover deep similarities between men and animals, that provide anthropomorphism with an epistemological and philosophical basis, but also affective and political ones, since the idea of a continuity between the being is one of the pillars of republican thinking on animal protection and animal rights since the Revolution. Looking at literary, philosophical and scientific texts, but also at the history of animals, at their status and treatments, this work would like to provide an overview of analogical paradigms through which men have conceived their relationships with animals over the first half of the 19th century. This period will therefore appear as an important moment of the reconfiguration of animal symbolism, inventing a type of realistic allegory, combining the concern for animals and a faith in analogical thinking

Full textAbstract:
Within the context of global climate change and soaring energy prices, people are
searching for inexpensive and renewable sources of energy; therefore, burning wood for
home heating is increasing. Woodsmoke contains substances known to harm human
health and is a major contributor to air pollution in many parts of the world; yet there is
limited research into the health effects of woodsmoke and existing research suffers from
methodological constraints. As a result, there is interest in producing robust woodsmoke
exposure estimates for health research and air quality management purposes. Studying
health and the environment is inherently spatial; however, research related to air pollution
and health tends to be aspatial. As investigators begin to understand the influence of
spatial processes on research findings, the importance of adopting a spatial approach to
modelling exposure and health risk is becoming apparent. This thesis describes a spatially
explicit model for predicting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) attributable to woodsmoke
from residential heating in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Spatially resolved
measurements of PM2.5 were collected for 32 evenings during the winter heating seasons
of 2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07 using a nephelometer installed in a passenger vehicle.
Positional data were collected concurrently using a Global Positioning System (GPS).
Levoglucosan, a chemical unique to woodsmoke, was measured to confirm the presence
of woodsmoke in the measured PM2.5. The spatial scale for the analysis of woodsmoke
data was determined using semivariograms to identify the maximum distance of spatial
dependence in the data which typically occurred near 2700m. Different spatial
approaches for modelling woodsmoke concentrations were evaluated both qualitatively in
terms of transferability, meeting statistical assumptions, and potential for exposure
misclassification; and quantitatively to assess the association between the model’s
predicted PM2.5 concentrations and observed PM2.5. The baseline model characterized
exposure based on the PM2.5 value from the closest fixed monitor (R=0.51, α=0.05). The
Krigged model produced a seasonal average surface based on nephelometer
measurements and showed the weakest performance (R=0.25, α=0.05). The regression
models predicted concentrations of woodsmoke based on predictor variables available
from census data, typically used in health research, and spatial property assessment data
(SPAD), an underused data source at a finer spatial resolution. Different approaches to
regression modelling were investigated. A regression model already developed for
Victoria performed the best quantitatively (R=0.84, α=0.05); however, qualitative
considerations precluded it from being selected as an appropriate model. A quantitatively
(R=0.62, α=0.05) and qualitatively robust regression model was developed using SPAD
(M6). SPAD improved the spatial resolution and model performance over census data.
Removing spatial and temporal autocorrelation in the data prior to modelling produced
the most robust model as opposed to modelling spatial effects post regression. A
Bayesian approach to M6 was applied; however, model performance remained
unchanged (R=0.62, α=0.05). The spatial distribution of susceptibility to health problems
associated with woodsmoke was derived from census data relating to population, age and
income. Intersecting the exposure model with population susceptibility in a Geographic
Information System (GIS) identified areas at high risk for health effects attributable to
woodsmoke.

Abstract The Allied victory at Waterloo, in June 1815, put an end to more than twenty years of conflict with Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. It also put thousands of Britons out of a job in an economic depression that lasted until 1821.’ Odd as it may seem, the nation that had the Duke of Wellington and commanded a supreme position in the world felt no euphoria at wars’ end. On the contrary, a kind of social malaise and general uncertainty characterized national life in Britain for two decades.

Abstract In the wake of the National Front’s rapid electoral decline after Margaret Thatcher’s 1979 victory, the crudely neo-Nazi, narrowly patriotic line that had been followed under the leadership of]ohn Tyndall and Martin Webster gave way to a more intellectually pretentious and internationalist ‘Third Positionism’ imposed by a younger generation ofStrasserites who gained ascendancy in 1983. The need to create a new e1ite required by this strategy prompted three pamphlets on the ‘political soldier’, a concept which shows the influence of]ulius Evola (see Texts 177, 188 ). The cover of the one dted here shows a Celtic cross (symbol of international fascism) flanked by a priest and knight. By the late 198os when it was published the NF periodical Nationalism Today also preached Third Positionism, a cause now taken up with even greater ardour by the English Nationalist Movement.

Abstract If The Mastery Of The Frontier Was The Nation’S First Great challenge, the second, and arguably its most traumatic, was the need to resolve the question of its own character as a democratic republic. Westward expansion eventually forced the nation’s leaders to confront the question of whether slavery, too, should be allowed to expand. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 had banned slavery from the territory that was later secured by Perry’s victory in 1813, and consequently both Indiana (1816) and Illinois (1818) came into the Union as free states. But both Mississippi (1817) and Alabama (1819) entered as slave states. In 1819, the year Perry died of yellow fever, the territory of Missouri applied for admission. Since there were already several thousand black slaves working the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River, it naturally sought admission as a slave state. During the congressional debate, however, Representative James Talmadge of New York rose to offer an amendment that would make slavery illegal in Missouri as a condition of its admission. Southerners were first horrified, then outraged. Despite the small number of slaves in Missouri, the stakes were enormous because the passage of Talmadge’s amendment would establish the precedent that Congress could restrict the growth of slavery in the American West.

Reverend William Buckland (1784–1856), a British vicar and palaeontologist, was the first Professor of Geology at the University of Oxford (1813) (see Plate 8). Charming and eloquent, Buckland was also an accomplished lecturer. His biographer summed him up rather well, remarking in 1894 ‘it is impossible to convey to the mind of any one who had never heard Dr. Buckland speak, the inimitable effect of that union of the most playful fancy with the most profound reflections which so eminently characterized his scientific oratory’. Brilliant and famously eccentric, he once offended stuffier colleagues at a British Association meeting in Bristol by strutting around the lecture theatre imitating chickens to demonstrate how prehistoric birds could have left footprints in the mud. On another occasion he: . . . attracted an audience totalling several thousand for a lecture in the famous Dudley Caverns, specially illuminated for the purpose. Carried away by the general magnificence, he was tempted into rounding off with a shameless appeal to the audience’s patriotism. The great mineral wealth lying around on every hand, he proclaimed, was no mere accident of nature; it showed rather, the express intention of Providence that the inhabitants of Britain should become, by this gift, the richest and most powerful nation on Earth. And with these words, the great crowd, with Buckland at its head, returned towards the light of day thundering out, with one accord, ‘God save the Queen!’. . . Buckland also claimed to have eaten his way straight through the animal kingdom as he studied it and, allegedly, part of Louis XIV’s embalmed heart, pinched from the snuffbox of his friend the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was aided in the eccentric culinary consumption of animals by his son Francis Buckland (1826–80), the celebrated Victorian naturalist and one-time Inspector of Her Majesty’s Salmon Fisheries, who evidently inherited his father’s eccentricity. Francis Buckland lived amongst beer-swilling monkeys, rats, and hares and regarded firing benzene at cockroaches through syringes as a fine sport. Francis arranged with London Zoo to receive off-cuts from the carcasses of unfortunate animals.
