Mobilizing resources for war: the British and Spanish intelligence systems during the war of Jenkins' Ear (1739-1744)
Get PDFThe topic of this study is the War of Jenkins’ Ear (1739 – 1744) and this thesis
concentrates on the close connection between the British and Spanish gathering of
intelligence and the military decisions adopted in London and Madrid during the
war. The ultimate purpose of this study is to put this war in a broader context and
make a contribution to understand the development of the state in eighteenth
century Europe.
The first part of this study analyses the structure and functioning of the several
British and Spanish Intelligence Networks, i.e. diplomatic and political support to
these networks, expenditures, flowing of intelligence, messengers, agents,
collaborators and counter intelligence. This part consists of two chapters, as
follows: (a) the British Intelligence System and (b) the Spanish Intelligence
System.
The second part of the study explores the connection between the gathering of
intelligence and decision-making in Madrid and London. However, the study of
the use of intelligence can be problematic. This is because neither on the British
nor the Spanish side are there official cabinet records for this period that could
directly link one process with the other. In an attempt to solve this difficulty it has
been decided to study the connection through four case studies. Each of them will
concentrate on one of the military expeditions that Britain and Spain carried out or
planned during the war

The Early Letters of Bishop Richard Hurd, 1739 to 1762
No full textRichard Hurd is best known to ecclesiastical historians as one of George III's favourite bishops who was offered, and declined, the archbishopric of Canterbury. These letters, therefore, illuminate the early career of one of the most prominent clerics of the late eighteenth century. The letters begin in 1739, just after Hurd had graduated B.A. at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. They chart his gradual climb up the ladder of ecclesiastical preferment, through his time as Fellow at Emmanuel and end with him settled in the comfortable country rectory of Thurcaston in Leicestershire. Hurd had a wide circle of correspondents. He became a close friend of William Warburton, Bishop of Gloucester, perhaps the most prominent controverialist of the period. He was also a member of a literary circle which included the poets Thomas Gray and William Mason. Indeed, Hurd himself is well-known to students of English literature as the author of Letters on Chivalry and Romance and as a significant figure among the so-called `pre-romantics'. Hurd's letters reveal the full range of his interests, from theology and university politics, through literature, to painting and sculpture. This edition, therefore, not only tells us about Hurd's early life and career, but also provides a valuable insight into the social life of the Anglican clergy in the eighteenth century

No full textThe 1739 Armenian population register from StanisławówThe aim of the author is to present the 1739 population register of Armenians from Stanisławów and to determine the number of Armenians living in the city in the 18th century. His archive research comprised court records from Stanisławów as well as birth, marriage and death registers of the Armenian Catholic parish in Stanisławów.In the 18th century the number of Armenians living in Stanisławów was at least 200 and never went above 400. According to the 1739 population register, the Armenians owned 65 houses. The Armenian population register from Stanisławów is important for demographic and genealogical studies, because there are very few sources produced by the administration in the south-eastern part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth before its first partition.The number of Armenians living in Stanisławów 200–400 was substantial in comparison with the total number of Armenians living in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 3000–4000.The 1739 Armenian population register from StanisławówThe aim of the author is to present the 1739 population register of Armenians from Stanisławów and to determine the number of Armenians living in the city in the 18th century.

The Duke of Newcastle's war : Walpole's ministry and the war against Spain, 1737-1742
No full textThis thesis examines the last years of the Walpole ministry. It attempts to shed light on the
inner workings of that ministry through an examination of its foreign policy, exploring the
origins and impact of the 1739 war with Spain. This dissertation is the only extended
modem study of the Anglo-Spanish diplomacy in these years. It is the only work to give
adequate consideration both to the varying influence of British domestic pressures and to
Spanish concerns. The thesis attempts to treat Spain's negotiations as variable, contingent
on chance and on personalities, as well as on certain intractable beliefs and principles.
Events are viewed largely from the perspective of the centre, the handful of leading
ministers and diplomats who discussed and made political and diplomatic decisions. The
personalities of ministers both in Spain and England, their interactions and rivalries and
their differing views, are important to understanding how diplomacy worked. Though
concentrating mainly on such interactions, and particularly the growing rivalry between
Newcastle and Walpole, the thesis tries to show how influential others were. The inner
circle of British ministers was preoccupied with the voice of those `without doors', and
public opinion set limits to diplomacy even in Spain. The domestic context of British
foreign policy included also a developing popular patriotism.
The thesis contends that the Walpole ministry nearly succeeded in procuring a genuine
commercial peace with Spain, and that the reasons for failure did not arise exclusively
from domestic political clamour. Royal prestige and individual ministerial personalitites, in
both countries, affected the outcome at least as much. The full explanation of a complex
breakdown can only be found in a close attention to the chronology of negotiation. The
thesis is therefore mainly chronological in form. In each chapter, though, an attempt is
made to take up relevant themes and develop them with a less strict regard to chronology.
Some issues, such as the role of monarchy, and of public opinion, the press campaign and
Opposition tactics, the contribution of the South Sea Company, recur
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
