A study of the paper war relating to the career of the 1st Duke of Marlborough 1710-1712.
No full textPhDThe thesis deals with the party journalism of the years
1710-1712 as it concerned Marlborough, relating it to its political
context and discussing the techniques of controversy employed.
The introduction outlines Marlborough's popular status
during the earlier years of Anne's reign, the uneasiness aroused by
his family's monopoly of royal favour, the growing discontent with
the war, despite his repeated victories, and Marlborough's personal
reactions to such criticism.
The first three chapters concern the issues arising from
the ministerial changes and General Election of 1710, measures which
many pamphleteers justified by censuring Marlborough's abuse of royal
favour and conduct as general and plenipotentiary. The important
contribution of Marlborough's principal apologist, Francis Hare, to
this latter controversy is discussed in detail. Chapter III demonstrates
that journalistic. pressure was also a determining factor in Marlborough's
retention of his command under the new ministry.
Chapters IV to'VI trace the efforts of Marlborough's
Journalistic supporters during his last campaign to make his continuing
military success the spearhead of their opposition to the ministry's secret
peace negotiations, a procedure more favoured by the Duchess of
Marlborough than by the Duke, and culminating at the end of 1711 in
major ministerial press attacks on the latter and finally in his
3.
dismissal on charges of financial malpractice.
The last two chapters describe the controversies of the year
following Marlborough's dismissal, including the journalists'
unscrupulous exploitation of the peculation charges, and the numerous
publications purporting to expose plots of Marlborough's devising
against the Queen and ministry. The difficulties facing his defenders
and the effect of this massive and damaging press campaign on the
Duke himself are also examined.
An epilogue deals briefly with journalistic reactions to
Marlborough's period of self-exile on the Continent from December
1712 until August 1714
The House of Lords and the Godolphin Ministry 1702-1710
Get PDFThis study considers the procedures of the House of Lords
in the early eighteenth century (Part One). It also
elucidates how Lord Treasurer Godolphin managed the upper
House (Part Two).
Chapter one deals with ceremonial business and the proceedings of political significance which were neither
legislative nor judicial. Above all it analyses how
Godolphin co-operated with the leading politicians and
wrote the Queen's speeches. He also tried to control the
process through which the address to the Queen was made.
However because of party strife he could not achieve his
desired end. This chapter also surveys divisions, proxies
and the Lords' protests. Party leaders thought much of
these matters, especially protests which were often used
by the High Tories as a means to criticise government
policies.
Chapter two treats the legislative business of the House.
Leading peers, especially the Junto lords, fully made use
of the procedures to turn proceedings to their advantage.
Select committees also became arenas of party politics.
Chapter three discusses 'political' trials. An analysis is
made of how the High Tories used these cases to attack the
government.
Chapter four discusses relations between the Lords and the
Commons. Above all it deals with the controversial matter
of the superiority of the Commons over money bills, and
makes it clear that disputes over this did not come to an
end in the first parliament of Queen Anne, but continued
until the end of 1706/7 session.
Chapter five investigates the proposition that patronage
was the most important resource for the Lord Treasurer to
control the behaviour of the peers in the House. When he
distributed patronage, Godolphin constantly adopted a
divide et impera policy.
Chapter six considers how skilfully the Lord Treasurer
managed debates in the Lords. It makes clear that he was
expert in avoiding divisions and remodelling motions to
his advantage.
Chapter seven deals with the first two elections of the
Scottish representative peers. It considers the political
struggle between the Lord Treasurer, who hoped to fill the
sixteen with the Court candidates, and the Junto lords and
the Squadrone Volante.
The conclusion assesses Godolphin's achievement in managing
the upper House. Until the final session of his ministry, he generally succeeded in keeping control of it
Scottish Copyright Before the Statute of 1710
No full textThe copyright law of the United Kingdom has long been seen as originating from statutory copyright commencing in 1710. However, Scottish copyright, a topic almost ignored by historians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, was a distinct entity long before and developed in quite different directions to English copyright. This article shows that early modern Scottish publishers, printers, authors, lawyers and their courts were familiar with the concepts of literary property and ironically it was Scotland's copyright tradition, and not that of England, which set out on a fortuitous path of preparation towards the Statute of 1710

Enforcement and Spectrum Sharing: Case Studies of Federal-Commercial Sharing
Get PDFTo promote economic growth and unleash the potential of wireless broadband, there is a need to introduce more spectrally efficient technologies and spectrum management regimes. That led to an environment where commercial wireless broadband need to share spectrum with the federal and non-federal operations. Implementing sharing regimes on a non-opportunistic basis means that sharing agreements must be implemented. To have meaning, those agreements must be enforceable.\ud
\ud
With the significant exception of license-free wireless systems, commercial wireless services are based on exclusive use. With the policy change facilitating spectrum sharing, it becomes necessary to consider how sharing might take place in practice. Beyond the technical aspects of sharing, that must be resolved lie questions about how usage rights are appropriately determined and enforced. This paper is reasoning about enforcement in a particular spectrum bands (1695-1710 MHz and 3.5 GHz) that are currently being proposed for sharing between commercial services and incumbent spectrum users in the US. We examine three enforcement approaches, exclusion zones, protection zones and pure ex post and consider their implications in terms of cost elements, opportunity cost, and their adaptability

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
