His Dominion: a vision in crisis

Abstract: Protestant-oriented organizations such as temperance societies, missionary societies, Bible societies, the Lord’s Day Alliance, the YMCA’s and YWCA’s utilized this vision as a framework for defining their task within the nation, for shaping their conceptions of the ideal society, and for determining those elements which posed a threat to the realization of their purposes. Amongst the threats to this vision was the massive immigration to Canada, between 1880 and World War n, of people who did not share it. The Protestant

Trade and Dominion: The European Overseas Empires in the Eighteenth Century.@@@"Salutary Neglect": Colonial Administration Under the Duke of Newcastle.

Abstract: During the remarkably long period (1724-1754) that Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, served as England's secretary of state, private interests and the exigencies of domestic politics rather than a rational assessment of England's stake in America determined colonial policy. As no purposeful effort was made to administer the colonies\" political life, they enjoyed in effect relatively little interference in their internal affairs. The reasons for this \"salutary neglect\" and the lack of a vigorous colonial program arc analyzed now by James Henretta. His study, though focusing on the politics and patronage of the Duke, brings into view the entire range of men and agencies that had a hand in making colonial policy and dispensing patronage. It thus illuminates the political and administrative system that developed in England during the first half of the century and continued in effect at the time of the American Revolution.Originally published in 1972.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.

William Knox's Explanation for the American Revolution

Abstract: The defeat of Burgoyne at Saratoga in the fall of I777, the FrancoAmerican alliance of February I778, and the limited military achievements of the British army in the colonies throughout I778 forced many people in and out of government in Britain to reconsider the underlying assumptions that had guided British behavior toward the colonies since the Stamp Act crisis.1 Among these was William Knox, then one of two undersecretaries of state for the colonies and a close confidant of American secretary Lord George Germain. Born in Ireland in I732, Knox had had firsthand experience in the colonies as provost marshal of the infant colony of Georgia from I756 to I762 and had acted as agent for Georgia in London and one of the chief penmen for the Grenville faction prior to his appointment to the American Department in I770. An undersecretary for twelve years during the successive administrations of Hillsborough, Dartmouth, and Germain, Knox played a significant role as an architect of American policy.2 With sizeable property holdings in Georgia, he had a vested interest in retaining the American colonies under British dominion, and, as his pamphlets and numerous unpublished official memoranda attest, few people in power in Britain thought more seriously or more deeply about the quarrel with the colonies at any stage of its development.3

Human Environments and Natural Systems : A Conflict of Dominion

Abstract: intelligent points of view. They should help sharpen and clarify the intelligence system upon which managerial expectations are founded. Their end product is . . . better thought out opinions than would exist in their absence. Their sole justification lies pragmatically in the extent to which the improved opinions lead to better, more efficient, decisions." It is therefore a little surprising to find Mr. Milne choosing to say nothing about the way that methods of forecasting have to be adapted to the style of an organisation. He writes that "it has (all) been said innumerable times before". One begs leave to doubt this. The author is throughout promoting a style based on systematic appraisal of problems. Laudable as this is, to the target audience, and often to Mr. Milne too, this must seem an impossible ideal. But it is still not enough. If an organisation is worth working in, then it must also have some dreams about what it wants to be and to do; the manager/forecaster is involved in this process up to the hilt. He could well have been directed to seminal work in this area.! COLIN NUTTALL

Of the rights of things

Abstract: The former book of these commentaries having treated at large of the jura personarum, or such rights and duties as are annexed to the persons of men, the objects of our inquiry in this second book will be the jura rerum, or, those rights which a man may acquire in and to such external things as are unconnected with his person. These are what the writers on natural law stile the rights of dominion, or property, concerning the nature and original of which I shall first premise a few observations, before I proceed to distribute and consider it’s several objects.

Chicano Control of Chicano History: A Review of Selected Literature

Abstract: History, to paraphrase Karl Marx, is written and rewritten by those who control the instruments of writing and production. It is the dominion, we might add, of those who have the skills to manipulate the scholarly industry. The validity of this proposition is reflected in the conscious or unconscious efforts of established nations to protect their positions in world history and to sustain the senses of nationality that ensures and justifies the transmission of national character to each succeeding generation. The proposition applies to emerging nations, too, in which distinctive racial and ethnic minorities struggle with equal passion to preserve their own interpretations of history and cultural distinctiveness. In new nations, in fact, minority groups may be even more removed from control of the instruments of writ ing and production than in older nations. The Indian populations of Mexico, Guate mala, and Peru are notable New World examples. Asia and Africa offer countless oth ers. Minority groups living in Western nations such as the United States may be close to achieving control of their own histories, and, through them, we may be able to un derstand how groups acquire the means for the writing and rewriting of history. The United States has a large number of minority groups. Each is in a different state of real or imagined social alienation. This essay considers how one of these groups, the Chicanos, is progressing in its struggle for opportunities to rewrite history ?to state its own special case to the Anglos who control their society and to the rest of the world.
