Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Memoir of the Late Charles Macintosh In a recent publication by a noble author, (Lord Lindsay's "Lives of the Lindsays,") the following striking passage occurs: - "Every family," says his lordship, "should have a record of its own. Each has its peculiar spirit running through the whole line, and, in more or less development, perceptible in every generation. Rightly viewed, as a most powerful but much neglected instrument of education, I can imagine no study more rife with pleasure and instruction. Nor need our ancestors have been Scipios or Fabii, to interest us in their fortunes. We do not love our kindred for their glory, or their genius, but for those domestic affections, or private virtues, that, unobserved by the world, expand in confidence towards ourselves, and often root themselves, like the banian of the east, and flourish with independent vigour in the heart to which a kind providence has guided them. An affectionate regard for their memory is an emotion totally distinct from pride - an ideal love, free from that consciousness of requited affection, and reciprocal esteem, which constitutes so much of the satisfaction we derive from the love of the living. They are denied, it is true, to our personal acquaintance; but the light they shed during their lives, survives within their tombs, and will reward our search if we explore them.

Download or read book Empire and mobility in the long nineteenth century written by David Lambert and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility was central to imperialism, from the human movements entailed in exploration, travel and migration to the information, communications and commodity flows vital to trade, science, governance and military power. While historians have written on exploration, commerce, imperial transport and communications networks, and the movements of slaves, soldiers and scientists, few have reflected upon the social, cultural, economic and political significance of mobile practices, subjects and infrastructures that underpin imperial networks, or examined the qualities of movement valued by imperial powers and agents at different times. This collection explores the intersection of debates on imperial relations, colonialism and empire with emerging work on mobility. In doing this, it traces how the movements of people, representations and commodities helped to constitute the British empire from the late-eighteenth century through to the Second World War.

Download or read book Dr John Moore 1729 1802 written by Henry L. Fulton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first biography of Scottish-born physician John Moore. Here, Henry L. Fulton recounts Moore’s childhood, education, and medical training in Glasgow and abroad; discusses his marriage, family, and friendships (particularly with Tobias Smollett); and depicts his professional practice in the north. The narrative uncovers Moore’s transformative experience accompanying a young nobleman on the Grand Tour through Europe and provides a detailed account of the journey's highlights and difficulties. When Moore returns, he moves his family to London to begin a second career in literature and to acquire patronage for his sons’ professions. In this biography Fulton covers not only Moore’s publications but also discusses his circle of friends among nobility, politicians, artists, and others. Also discussed is Moore’s involvement in the French Revolution, his correspondence with Robert Burns, and his strained family relationships. Additionally presented here is new information regarding Moore’s finances drawn from archival records in Glasgow and Edinburgh and his bank ledgers in London.

Download or read book The Gentleman Usher written by John Evans and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Dempster was a giant of a man who became one of the best-known and most deservedly popular Scotsman of his day. He served for thirty years as a Member of Parliament in Westminster and was closely involved with the expansion of British influence and trade across the world particularly in India and North America. This was the age of Empire building and intense rivalry between competing imperial powers, which led to protracted warfare. A lawyer by training, Dempster was at the heart of political and business life and his circle of friends was large and powerful. Yet power did not corrupt him and he was respected by allies and opponents alike, being known as 'Honest George'. Laird of estates at Skibo in Sutherland and Dunnichen in Angus, Dempster's energy was legendary and he used his talents as reformer, innovator, entrepreneur and developer to bring prosperity and jobs to disadvantaged regions of his beloved Scotland. Dempster was more than an observer of history; he made it. This highly detailed biography of a major but hitherto little known figure of the period gives a rare insight into the political life of the Georgian era, covering the growth of British rule in India, loss of North America during the War of Independence and the years of constant conflict with France. The Gentleman Usher, this superbly researched work with its copious illustrations, is an important and authoritative addition to the bibliography of Scottish history of the period.
