Y. Press.""An attempt to carry the whole of science up to a higher unity in the field of ultimate philosophy." -"Acta Victorians," Toronto.

Автор: Davis Walter Goodwin Название: The Ancestry of James Patten, 1747?-1817, of Arundel (Kennebunkport) Maine (Classic Reprint) ISBN: 1397304715 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781397304711 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 8800.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Excerpt from The Ancestry of James Patten, 1747?-1817, of Arundel (Kennebunkport) Maine The title of this pamphlet, The Ancestry of James Patten, is to a great extent deceptive, for on the paternal side James Patten's father is his only ancestor now, or likely to be, discovered, while on the maternal Side we can trace a Slight three generations to a shadowy great-grandfather. However, the pamphlet is the sev enth in a series dealing with the ancestry of my great-great grandparents, and for the sake of uniformity it is so entitled. Actually it deals with the descendants of Six men who emigrated to New England in the early years of the eighteenth century, four of them being the brothers Matthew Patten of Biddeford, Hector Patten of Saco, Robert Patten of Arundel, and William Patten of Boston. The fifth, William Patten of Wells, presumably a close kinsman of the brothers, is included as by so doing all of the Pat ten emigrants who settled in Maine are conveniently grouped in one volume, while the sixth, James Johnston, finds an appropriate place herein as his granddaughter was James Patten's mother. All of these men were of Scotch descent, springing from fami lies which left Scotland in the seventeenth century, encouraged by the British government, to settle in the northern counties Of Ireland which formed the ancient kingdom of Ulster, where they became a tough and unwelcome minority. After nearly a hundred years of religious, political and economic struggle, Siege and famine, which resulted in an ingrained hatred both for the Celtic Irish and for the English, hundreds of Ulster Scots prepared to undertake the long voyage to America. Soon all of the colonies from Maine to Georgia began to receive these new-comers, almost as foreign to the original English stock as they had been to the Irish. Some few remained in the seaport towns where their voyage ended, but, clannish to an extreme, the great majority settled in large groups on the fringes of colonial population where new land could be had for a low price. To distinguish them from the ethnic Irish whose emigration did not begin in force until the middle years of the nineteenth century, American historians have called them the Scotch - Irish. This convenient term is very annoying to writers of Irish descent whose chosen field has been the contri bution of the people of Ireland to American life, but as many descendants of these later emigrants, after a hundred years in America, persist in calling themselves irish-americans, or simply Irish, their objections to the use of scotch-irish seem somewhat childish.

Автор: Amanda Patten Название: The English it-Cleft: A Constructional Account and a Diachronic Investigation ISBN: 3110279533 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110279535 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 185890.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The English it-cleft is noted for its non-standard structure and for its unusual pragmatic and discourse-functional properties. This book presents a constructional account of the English it-cleft which is based on evidence from three main areas: (a) the concept of specificational meaning, (b) the existence of predicational (and proverbial) it-clefts, and (c) the early, historical it-cleft data. Featuring a sizeable diachronic component, the book contributes to the limited (and largely unchallenged) literature on the history of the English it-cleft.
By the end of the 18th century, Corsica had been occupied by France for over thirty years. Islanders yearned to recover their lost independence, and the French Revolution gave them the opportunity. Their leader, Pasquale Paoli, realized that alone they could never defeat the well-organized French forces. He offered Corsica to King George III of England, on condition that the French were driven from the island.
Based on documented historical fact, the author paints a detailed portrait of Corsica through the captivating adventures of Damian Berra, a young man from what is today the Swiss canton of Valais. After wandering through Lombardy to the Ligurian coast, as the victim of a press gang on a French frigate, he becomes marooned on Corsica, an island infested with bandits and crippled with vendettas, where murders are seven times more numerous than in mainland France.
The story also describes the attempts of the English to administer an island they eventually called "The Ungovernable Rock."

Описание: In the wake of its creation in 1948, the state of Israel was confronted with the challenge of establishing foreign relations with key players in the region, in the face of opposition from most of the Arab states. Howard Patten explores the genesis and development of Israel's foreign relations with Iran, Turkey and Ethiopia, known as the 'Policy of the Periphery'. Highlighting the pragmatism and Realpolitik at the heart of this policy, Israel and the Cold War analyses the national interests and mutual concerns which shaped relations and strategy at the United Nations during the critical moments of the establishment of the State of Israel and the following forty years, before the ramifications of the Iranian Revolution became apparent. During this period, Israel made efforts to create pragmatic alliances behind closed doors at the UN, even as ambivalence and hostility reigned in the public sphere. Patten thus examines the implications that the Cold War system of ideological combat had on these attempts to maintain implicit, yet cordial understandings, as world events - such as the Suez Crisis of 1956, successive crises over Cyprus and the Ethiopian and Iranian Revolutions - tested the 'Policy of the Periphery'. 'Israel and the Cold War' traces the development of Israel's relations with these three states, from their initial beginnings to consolidation, then rejection and subsequent efforts to realign. Patten highlights the extensive diplomatic and military reverberations that occurred throughout the region, and the way in which these were played out at the UN. Based primarily on UN documents, this book is a vital primary resource for those researching the period in question and the formulation of foreign policy in the Middle East.
