Mrs. J. H. Ammon letter to Frances Casement, December 24, 1884
No full textLetter from Josephine M. (Mrs. J. H.) Ammon of Cleveland to Frances Casement, December 24, 1884. Ammon expresses her thanks to Casement and her fellow suffrage supporters in Painesville, Ohio, for recently hosting Ammon and other women from Cleveland. She discusses an upcoming lecture to take place titled "Should Women Vote?" and explores options to combine efforts in the region with regard to public lectures.
This item comes from the Frances Jennings Casement Papers, a manuscript collection comprised of letters and association records related to the founding and leadership of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. Casement (1840-1928) was born in Painesville, Ohio, and graduated from Painesville Academy and Willoughby Female Seminary. Her father, Charles Casement, supported abolition and women's suffrage and encouraged Frances to be active in social causes. Frances Casement established the Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883, and shortly after became involved in the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, serving as its president from 1885 to 1888
Emerging Financial Markets and Early U.S. Growth
No full textStudies of early U.S. growth traditionally have emphasized real-sector explanations for an acceleration that by many accounts became detectable between 1815 and 1840. Interestingly, the establishment of the nation's basic financial structure predated by three decades the canals, railroads, and widespread use of water and steam-powered machinery that are thought to have triggered modernization. We argue that this innovative and expanding financial system, by providing debt and equity financing to businesses and governments as new technologies emerged, was central to the nation's early growth and modernization. The analysis includes a set of multivariate time series models that relate measures of banking and equity market activity to measures of investment, imports and business incorporations from 1790 to 1850. The findings offer support for our hypothesis of "finance-led" growth in the U.S. case. By implication, the interest today in improving financial systems as a means of fostering sustainable growth is not misplaced.

Merrington: land, landlord and tenants 1541 – 1840
No full textThis thesis considers the performance of the Dean and Chapter of Durham as estate managers from 1541-1840, as perceived from the detailed study of one parish. Durham was created as a New Foundation Cathedral in 1541 by Henry VIII and endowed with the lands of the Priory, which had been dissolved in 1539. Durham Chapter administered the same lands until 1840 when central government again intervened with cathedral estates. Cathedral chapters have been described as 'inactive rentier' landlords. Durham Chapter’s management is compared with that of other landlords to see if this description was justified. The Chapter's response to problems and challenges, such as tenant right and inflation in the sixteenth century, civil war and abolition in the seventeenth century and rapidly changing agricultural practices in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is considered. The thesis concludes that by 1626 Durham Chapter had created an effective system of estate management, known as beneficial leasehold, which offered tenants security of tenure and fixed rents, while compensating the Chapter for inflation by regular renewal fines, related to the true value of the land. The Chapter were not inactive rentiers in 1640: they promoted agricultural innovation, especially enclosure of the townships. The work of the Chapter was only interrupted by the Civil War, not fundamentally altered. The Chapter recovered relatively rapidly at the Restoration: their tenants had greater problems because of the costs of war and land purchase. By the nineteenth century, the Chapter were left behind by progressive landlords who controlled their tenants' farming practices and drew a greater financial return from their lands than Durham Chapter achieved. However, progress continued on the Chapter estate, as the security of beneficial leasehold encouraged tenants to invest, for example in restructuring their farms, breeding improved cattle and introducing new field crops and rotations
Observation of a structure at 1.84 GeV/c(2) in the 3(pi(+)pi(-)) mass spectrum in J/psi -> gamma 3(pi(+) pi(-)) decays
No full text<p>With a sample of 225.3 x 10(6) J/psi events taken with the BESIII detector, the decay J/psi -> gamma 3(pi(+) pi(-)) is analyzed. A structure at 1.84 GeV/c(2) is observed in the 3(pi(+) pi(-)) invariant mass spectrum with a statistical significance of 7.6 sigma. The mass and width are measured to be M = 1842.2 +/- 4.2(-2.6)(+7.1) MeV/c(2) and Gamma = 83 +/- 14 +/- 11 MeV. The product branching fraction is determined to be B(J/psi -> gamma X(1840) x B(X(1840) -> 3(pi(+)pi(-))) = (2.44 +/- 0.36(-0.74)(+0.60)) x 10(-5). No eta' signals are observed in the 3(pi(+) pi(-)) invariant mass spectrum, and the upper limit of the branching fraction for the decay eta' -> 3(pi(+) pi(-)) is set to be 3.1 x 10(-5) at a 90% confidence level.</p>
The growth of evangelicalism in the Church of Scotland, 1793-1843
No full textThis thesis examines Evangelicalism as a broadly-based intellectual
and social movement which sought to shape the overall thought and life of
the Church of Scotland during the first half of the nineteenth century. A
set of distinctive organisations --religious periodicals, voluntary
societies, education, and corporate prayer-- provided its institutional
structure. They represented the practical response to a general concern
for revitalising the Church, for evangelism, and for social morality.
'Evangelicals' are defined as those who combined participation in these
institutions with a fundamental commitment to the Church of Scotland as an
established, national church.
The development of each of these institutions is explored as a means
of tracing the growth of the movement as a whole. Religious periodicals
helped to unite scattered individuals within the Established Church who
shared a desire to spread experiential Christianity. By providing a forum
for discussing issues related to this concern, these publications communicated
Evangelical ideas throughout the Kirk, giving Evangelicals far
greater influence than their relative lack of power in the ecclesiastical
courts around the turn of the century suggested they would have.
Religious voluntary societies enabled Evangelicals to translate their
ideas into action on a wide range of issues. The seeming effectiveness of
groups such as missionary and Bible societies made Evangelicalism
increasingly attractive, and led to the incorporation of their activist
approach into existing Kirk structures after the mid-1820s. However,
Evangelicals struggled with the tensions between the gathered and territorial
views of the Church inherent in their commitments both to
societies and to the Establishment.
Because Evangelicals, following the Scottish Reformers, believed that
education encouraged biblically-based Christianity, they were actively
involved in all levels of education, from Sabbath schools to the universities,
helping to spread Evangelical ideas and practice among young
people. Evangelicals' emphasis upon corporate prayer not only reflected
their belief that they needed divine aid to achieve their aims, but built
up social bonds at a local level and reinforced commitment to the other
Evangelical institutions

The Hermit Ibis (<i>Geronticus eremita</i>) in Moravia in Gallaš’s manuscript
No full textAbstract
J. H. A. Gallaš (1756-1840) mentioned in his manuscript the occurrence of Corvus eremita L. in Moravia. Mlíkovský (2007) says incorrectly that Hudeček & Hanák (2004) had stated in was a discovery from the 19 th century. We have not written anything of this sort. Nevertheless, the author of his text persists on its potential occurrence in the 18 th century. The species Corvus eremita L. (= Geronticus eremita) has been taken as made-up and non-existent since the beginning of the 19 th century but its application in relation to the species Corvus graculus L. (= Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax)</jats:p
