See also Machin\u27s letter to General Clinton regarding his military pension.Talbot informs Machin that the election to send members to Congress will take place on the 22nd. Talbot encourages Machin to "step forth" and exert himself on Talbot\u27s behalf, and he will be "happy at all times to make returns to you for the favor." Talbot offers to reimburse Machin for his expenses attending the poll, and states his confidence that both he and Mr. Cooper will be elected. Active in the Early Republic, Talbot served in the Continental Army and Navy, promoted to Captain in 1779. He was captured and imprisoned by the British, and upon returning to America served in the New York State Assembly, then as a Representative from New York (1793-1795), and he was commissioned by President Adams as a Navy Captain once again in 1798. His second wife was the granddaughter of General Thomas Mifflin (see Mifflin\u27s letters in the collection)
Freedom’s cry: the popular dimension in the Pakistan Movement and Partition experience in North West India
No full textStandard historical accounts of the emergence of Pakistan have been dominated by events and issues at the elite level of politics. This book introduces two new angles to the subject. It lays particular emphasis firstly on the role of popular participation in the freedom struggle and secondly on the human dimension of the Partition experience. In order to open up these fresh perspectives this study utilizes new sources, including the extended use of fictitional representation. In addition to the injection of a human perspective into the historical discourse on Pakistan's emergence, the author provides comprehensive data on refugee resettlement and bibliographical notes.Ian Talbot examines the role of popular participation in the Pakistan Movement and the social and psychological impact of the 1947 experience. While standard historical accounts have been dominated by events and issues at the elite level of politics, the author introduces two more angles to the study of the Freedom Movement: he lays particular emphasis on, firstly, the role of the ordinary citizen, and secondly, the human dimension of the Partition experience. Exploring these fresh perspectives, he includes the extended use of fictional representation and provides comprehensive data on refugee resettlement

Temporal Talbot Effect: From a Quasi-Linear Talbot Carpet to Soliton Crystals and Talbot Solitons
No full textThe temporal Talbot effect refers to the periodic self-imaging of pulse trains in optical fibers. The connection between the linear and nonlinear temporal Talbot effect is still not fully understood. To address this challenge, we use Soliton Radiation Beat Analysis and numerically investigate the evolution of a phase-modulated continuous-wave laser input in a passive single-mode fiber. We identify three input-power-dependent regimes and their Talbot carpets: the quasi-linear regime for low input powers, the intermediate one, and separated Talbot solitons for higher powers. We show that the intermediate regime hosts soliton crystals rather than rogue waves, as reported in the literature. The Talbot-solitons beating can be used for pulse repetition-rate multiplication in the nonlinear regime. We also show two types of solitons involved: some encoded in the whole frequency comb and the individual solitons carried only by particular comb lines
