The article discusses the political and symbolic ramifications of the memory of the late English King William III during the reign of his successor, Queen Anne, in the early 18th century. The author examines how public memorialization and commemoration of the late monarch contributed to negotiating the meaning of civil liberties and the legitimacy of the British system of government established by the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He focuses on eulogies published at the time of William's death and on political conflict between the Whig and Tory factions in Parliament as examples, particularly debates surrounding the ideas of British theologians Benjamin Hoadly and Henry Sacheverell.

This edition illustrates Gottfried Salomon-Delatour's (1892-1964) lifelong engagement with his former teacher Ernst Troeltsch. Salomon-Delatour's memorial-lecture from 1963 given at the University of Heidelberg is a rare and lengthy document, in which a sociologist tries to understand the idea of history from a methodological point of view. The text offers an intelligent and lucid defense of Troeltsch's concept of historicism in the age of scepticism after World War II. The document forms part of the Gottfried Salomon-Delatour papers at the University Archive in Bielefeld. This is the first publication of material from this collection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
