The five-year period from 1841 to 1846 saw the beginning of Jefferson Davis'political career. In this, the second volume of The Papers of Jefferson Davis, the documents cover Davis'unsuccessful race for the state legislature, his selection as a Democratic state elector, his marriage to Varina Howell, his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, and his departure therefrom to assume command of the First Mississippi Regiment in the Mexican War.In the congressional documents Davis emerges as a hardworking freshman representative who quickly won for himself the respect and esteem of his fellow congressmen. There were, however, notable exceptions. One such exception was Andrew Johnson, a tailor by trade, who strongly resented Davis'remark on the floor of the House that a “blacksmith or tailor” could not be expected to achieve the same results in battle as a trained military man. In the somewhat bitter exchange that followed, some have professed to see the beginnings of the long-standing animosity between Johnson and Davis.The 255 documents in this volume (two appendixes contain undated and late-arriving items) provide a clear picture of Jefferson Davis, the man and the politician, and give an intimate view of Mississippi in the 1840s.Throughout the volume are rumblings of the then distant storm that was to break so disastrously over the nation in the 1860s.

The German Archaeological Institute has been publishing its yearbook since 1885, with each volume containing ten papers covering principally Classical ‑ i.e. Greek and Roman ‑ Archaeology, although from time to time Early Byzantine to Early Islamic topics are alsotreated, as are those from Early Anatolian and Western European History. In recent years, the contents of the Yearbook have been constantly specialised and expanded; subjects include art history and the history of style, iconography, hermeneutics, typology, compilations of material and the reconstruction of sculpture and architecture. Presented in an expertly crafted, expensively bound edition, each volume contains papers on a variety of subjects. The Yearbook does not contain any excavation reports, news items or book reviews; it is dedicated exclusively to research discussions on known larger complexes of finds. Thus with its critical apparatus and catalogue references, where appropriate, it guarantees a state of the art account.

This publication is for those who are concerned with the identification of wood samples and the fibre constituents of paper and paper products, an ability essential for anyone in the pulp industry. In determining the quality of a paper product, the inherent properties of wood are as importantand, if not more so, than the pulping process and other mill treatments to which the wood subjected. Besides wood, a large number of nonwoody fibres find their way into paper products and it is equally important to be able to identify these as well as the woody fibres. This book brings together what are considered the most useful wood and fibre features for the purposes of indentification. In the first section separate keys are given for the identification of both softwood and hardwood pulps and wood samples. The keys distinguish between different tree genera or dissimilar groups of species within the same genus. The diagnostic features of all commercial pulpwoods have been numbered, defined and illustrated, with a total of 88 photomicrographs, and instructions are given on how to prepare a sample and proceed with its examination and subsequent identification. The second section of the book deals with the identification of 28 natural nonwoody and 9 man-made fibres. The features of the individual fibres as well as the results of staining and solubility tests, where applicable, are described in detail. Ninety-five photomicrographs illustrate this section which includes an identification key summarizing the useful features of these fibres.

Horace Walpole (1717-1797) was one of the most delightful characters who ever put pen to paper. In The Castle of Otranto, he wrote one of the most remarkable novels of its time. In this 1957 study, Hugh Honour argues that Walpole achieved in his life and writing a self-portrait whose brilliance has seldom been equalled and never excelled. A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.

This bibliography includes publications issued between 1956 and August 1968 that reproduce Chinese paintings now in Chinese public or private collections. The great majority of these publications were produced in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Japan. Each publication included in the bibliography has been provided with a detailed physical description of the publication itself: the amounts of text, the number of plates in color and in monochrome, and a general evaluation of the quality of the reproductions. The title by which each work is referred to in the index is included at the end of each entry.

In this 1963 study, F. T. Prince considers discusses Shakespeare's sonnets, Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, A Lover's Complaint, and The Phoenix and Turtle. As is the case with the companion essays in the Writers and Their Work Shakespeare series, the bibliographies follow a uniform plan. They assume that Professor J. R. Brown's bibliography in Shakespeare (No. 58) is available to the reader, and in the main they confine themselves to the plays under immediate consideration. Essays and papers are not ordinarily included in the bibliographies of the Series but, as it is not possible to keep up with Shakespeare studies unless they are added, they are a feature of these Shakespeare essays.

In this 1962 study, G. K. Hunter seeks to define'the particular kind of excellence [...] in Much Ado, As You Like It, and Twelfth Night.'He finds that the'common element in the different achievements is the power to realize love as a force making for proper happiness and reconciliation over a wide area of human experience, and as a spectrum which shows sanity and eccentricity in their social setting'. A Midsummer-Night's Dream is grouped with them as a play about love, though it'is constructed by contrast rather than interaction'.

The student of Chinese painting must from time to time consult John C. Ferguson's Li-tai chu-lu hua mu, an index to Chinese paintings recorded in Chinese catalogues. The catalogues in which the paintings are compiled are of equal interest: their compilers, the date of their compilation, their scope, their derivation, their merits and shortcomings, and so on. An Annotated Bibliography of Chinese Painting Catalogues and Related Texts provides a way for English-language students with limited knowledge of Chinese to find basic information on the catalogues in an easily available form.

This volume gathers the harvest of recent doctoral dissertations on South Asia, principally from North America and Western Europe, but exclusive of theses from universities in South Asia itself. The yield—1305 dissertations based on research carried out during the early and middle nineteen-sixties and brought to completion between 1966 and 1970—is even greater than one would have guessed, eloquent testimony to the expansion of South Asian studies in the West over the last decade. Doctoral Dissertations on South Asia seeks to be a comprehensive compilation of recently completed theses dealing in whole or in part with the former civilizations and the contemporary affairs of Ceylon, India, Nepal and Pakistan. At the same time, this work provides striking testimony of the dynamic growth of Asian Studies outside the subcontinent and particularly in the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France, where most of the major centers of scholarship are presently found. It is an interdisciplinary work covering the natural sciences as well as the humanities and social sciences.

A compilation of the foreign trade statistics compiled by Chinese Maritime Customs, which began publishing such statistics soon after Westerners were appointed as its administrators in the 1850s. With the passage of time the quality and quantity of the publications were constantly improved.

THE LAST HISTORY OF CONFEDERATION was R. G. Trotter's Canadian Federation, published in 1924. Since that time, much work has been done on this seminal period of Canadian history by Canadian historians, and more recently, in important peripheral studies, by American ones. Three notable contributions by Canadians have been D. G. Creighton's British North America at Confederation for the Rowell-Sirois Report, his John A. Macdonald: The Young Politician (1952), and W. M. Whitelaw's The Maritimes and Canada before Confederation (1934). This present book begins roughly where Professor Whitelaw's ended. It is a study of ideas and politics in the province of Canada, 1864-1867. This book is, in several important respects, a shift in emphasis and direction, and represents an entire rewriting on the basis of other perspectives and a good deal of further research.

Although many Russians thought that the Constitutional Democrats, or Kadets, would be the party that would lead them through the Russian Revolution into the ranks of the Western European democracies, the Kadets were easily crushed by the Bolsheviks in the struggle for power. How the Kadets responded to the events of the revolution and failed at the time of the party's greatest crisis is the subject of William G. Rosenberg's study.As political history, the book examines the values, programs, organization, and tactices of Russia's most priminent liberal party from 1917 to 1921. As a study of the Russian Revolution and Civil War, it probes the strengths and weaknesses of the one political group whose politices did more to influence the outcome of events that any other political organization except the Bolsheviks.Based largely on party journals and emigre archives, the book focuses not only on the role of the Kadets in the revolution, but also on the broader issue of the relationship of Russiasn liberal politics to revolutionary social forces.William G. Rosenberg is Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan.Originally published in 1974.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

First published in 1969. Contains some of Joseph Needham's most significant essays, lectures and broadcasts on the history of Chinese science, technology and culture. Also included are some more personal thoughts stimulated by his own travels and experiences in China, including a number of poems. The book discusses the valuable social and intellectual influences which have flowed to Europe from South as well as East Asia, and suggests that the events of the twentieth century were a natural development of Chinese history, not a deviation from it.

Wyndham Lewis (1884-1957) was a extraordinarily versatile writer as well as a distinguished draughtsman and painter. In this 1955 study, E. W. F. Tomlin contributes to the renewed interest in Lewis's writing and painting during the 1950s. Tomlin discusses the novels, notably the Childermass trilogy, the works of speculative thought which include Time and Western Man and The Art of Being Ruled, the critical and satirical works and Lewis's two autobiographical volumes: Blasting and Bombardiering and Rude Assignment. Tomlin concludes that'difficult as Lewis may be to classify, he represents the kind of figure who appears every so often [...] in the English tradition. There are certain affinities with [William] Blake. Although no two tempreraments appear so different, Blake's social isolation, his struggle for the recognition of his art, his pungent pamphleteering, his'ready-made'genius, and finally his'openness', are characteristics which Lewis shares.'A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.

In this 1958 study, Edmund Blunden—himself a poet during the First World War—pays tribute to his fellow'soldier poets': including, Rupert Brooke's Siegfried Sassoon, and Wilfred Owen. Blunden also touches upon the work of Arthur Graeme West, Charles Hamilton Sorley, Robert Graves, Julian Grenfell, Robert Nichols, F. W. Harvey, Ivor Gurney, and Isaac Rosenberg. A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.

The writings of Winston Churchill (1874-1965) describe the history his decisions as war-time Prime Minister acted upon. In this generous and vivid 1956 study, John Connell argues that Churchill is the first among the Europeans who have stood for civilization in the tragic disruption of Europe during the first half of the twentieth-century. A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.
