Part of a comprehensive catalog of the International Quilt Study Center and Museum collection, American Quilts in the Industrial Age, 1760–1870 highlights the dazzling designs and intricate needlework of America’s treasured material culture. From whole cloth to pieced quilts to elaborate appliqué examples, all reflecting various design movements such as Neoclassicism and Eastern exoticism, the contributing authors address the development of quilt making in America from its inception in the 1700s to the period of the U.S. Civil War.
Covering more than one hundred years of quilt making, this volume examines the period’s quilts from both an artistic and a historical perspective. The contributors provide critical information regarding the founding of the republic and the influential republican values and ideals manifested in the quilts of this era. They also address the role that immigration and industrialization played in the evolution of materials and styles. With full-color photographs of nearly six hundred quilts, American Quilts in the Industrial Age, 1760–1870 offers new insights into American society.

Описание: British Regulars marched into Boston at midday on Saturday, 1 October 1768. For weeks there had been rumours that the landing would be resisted. But by four in the afternoon the two regiments were parading on the Common without incident. This fifth volume of the Bernard Papers examines the evidence and debates as they unfolded in Boston and London.
Описание: Governor Francis Bernard's historical reputation rests on his role in pushing the American colonists toward revolution. Bernard was the kind of government official without whom revolutions might not occur: A thwarted modernizer, despairing of metropolitan inertia and resentful of local power shifts that undermined his own authority, he sought and found retribution in a hostile portrayal of his opponents and critics. In 1768, the colonists and their governor vied to control information flowing to London. But it was Bernard who triumphed in the war of information, convincing the British government to send British troops to Boston to avert a possible insurrection and support the civil government. The colonists, meanwhile, struggled to find evidence that their governor was misrepresenting their cause. That evidence is presented here in full for the first time.

Описание: This lively and accessible book reappraises the often complex relationship between British monarchs and some of their more troublesome subjects in the 'age of revolutions'. By exposing a rationale behind the efforts of the mad and the politically disaffected to intrude upon, assault or pester kings and queens from George III to Victoria, the author casts new light upon the contested languages of constitutionalism, contract theory and the rights of petition. The Hanoverian dynasty sought security from republicanism during the 1790s by reinventing itself as an affable, domestic, flexible and solicitous institution. But majesty and approachability were to prove uneasy bedfellows, and popular frustrations over unanswered petitions could provoke serious personal moments of crisis. In its detailed reconstruction of the mentalities of such unsuccessful and forgotten Royal 'assassins' as Margaret Nicholson, James Hadfield and Dennis Collins, this unique and pioneering study of monarchical history from below will interest the specialist and general reader alike, and provoke fresh controversy over the viability of monarchies in the modern world.

Описание:
"This book contains Birth, Marriage, and Death data on the people of Danville, NH (formerly Hawke, until 18 June, 1836). This information is compiled from various sources. The largest amount of data was from the Town Reports of Danville, NH, 1760-1992 inclusive, and taken from the book Vital Records of Danville, NH from 1760-1886, published 1979 by the Hawk Historical Society Danville, New Hampshire. Permission by Deborah S. Meigs of the society to include their data in this book is appreciated. Some information is from residents of Danville who were the author�s relatives, now deceased. Some cemetery data was obtained by his visiting the cemeteries in the years past. Often the data of each individual record is compiled from multiple sources. A few of the individuals were not b, m, or d in Danville, but are parents or children of those who were. The compiler took the liberty to add Jr. and Sr. to some records so as to distinguish between child and parent and so the database would sort correctly. Also in situations where a b record showed the spelling of a name like Dotty, the m record showed Dority and the d record showed Dorothy, the names were all entered as Dorothy so the data base could sort and link to the spouse and parents correctly." The arrangement is alphabetical.
