Coade Stone
Detailed analyses of the artificial, high‐fired ceramic Coade stone, used for the manufacture of architectural and garden artefacts in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, have been undertaken on samples from perfect and damaged specimens. The analyses were undertaken using SEM/EDAXS and groupings were studied using multivariate analysis of the elemental oxide data. The work differentiates samples not composed of Coade stone, and these data pr…
Thermal‐Infrared Measurements of the North‐East Tower at Ardrossan Castle
Thermal‐infrared imaging of buildings is used to investigate a range of phenomena including the accumulation of moisture. In general, the presence of moisture poses a direct danger to historic structures and must be characterized prior to any intervention. Many low‐cost imaging solutions are available which has made the technology more accessible. In the current work, TIR imagery (10 m) of a likely gatehouse in the north‐east corner of Ardrossan …

Raman Spectroscopic Analysis of a Mid-19th Century Reredos by Sir George Gilbert Scott
A painted stone reredos in the Priory Church of St Cuthbert, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, UK, was analysed before recent conservation to determine the pigment scheme employed. The screen was created by the eminent British architect Sir George Gilbert Scott in the middle decade of the 19th Century. The results help inform the wider range of palettes employed by British architects and craftspeople working in the 19th and early 20th centuries which hav…
John Stuart Mill, Socialiste
Mill wrote in the 1849 edition of Principles of Political Economy that Fourierism presented “in every respect the least open to objection, of the forms of Socialism”. Why did he think this? If we look at Mill's earlier engagements with the Saint-Simonians and Comte side by side a striking pattern of agreements and disagreements emerges: Comte and Mill were anti-utopians, but the Saint-Simonians were not; Mill and the Saint-Simonians were feminist…
The analysis of two historic fired artificial stonewares
Coade stone has played a significant role in architectural and ornamental design since its inception in the early 18th century. It is well known that earlier, experimental, architectural stoneware products existed, but few of these have been studied in detail scientifically, and only one major analytical study of Coade stone has appeared in the literature. This paper presents a new spectroscopic analysis of Coade stone along with that of a newly …
Averham, St Michael, Nottinghamshire
The church of St Michael and All Angels, Averham, is largely constructed of counter-pitched rubble and has long been interpreted as being of the early Norman period. Recent archaeological investigations by the authors have revealed conclusive evidence that the date of part of the fabric is pre-Conquest and that the west tower was originally a possible two-storey porch. Ground-based remote sensing has further revealed complex anomalies in the sout…
Raman Spectroscopic Analysis of an Early 20th Century English Painted Organ Case by Temple Moore
An organ case from Lincoln, England, designed by the architect Temple Moore in 1907 was examined during conservation work using Raman spectroscopy in order to analyze the decorative paint composition. Samples from the six principal colours were extracted and examined using a Bruker Senterra R200-L spectrometer. The results are the first known formal analysis of a painted scheme by this architect, and they reveal a mixture of commonly used pigment…
Arsehole aristocracy (or)
The 18th-century French political theorist the Baron de Montesquieu described honour as the ‘principle’ – or animating force – of a well-functioning monarchy, which he thought the appropriate regime type for an economically unequal society extended over a broad territory. Existing literature often presents this honour in terms of lofty ambition, the desire for preference and distinction, a spring for political agency or a spur to the most admirab…
The Economy of the Word
108 Max Weber Studies© Max Weber Studies 2017. This leads to my final point, which is that it is not entirely clear why Anter chose the title Max Weber und die Staatsrechtslehre. Anter convincingly shows Weber’s influence among those who had a ‘Staatsrechtslehre ’ but he also admits that Weber was continuously focused on the concept of the state as holding the legitimate monopoly of power. Thus, Weber never provided a ‘Staatsrechtslehre’ himself.…
Europe in the Central Middle Ages
This wide-ranging introduction to medieval Europe has been updated and revised. In his popular survey Brooke explores the variety of human experience in the period. He looks at society, economy, religious life and popular religion, learning, culture, as well as political events; the rise of the Normans and the heyday of the medieval Empire. For the new edition there is increased coverage of the role of women and more attention to central Europe, …
Philosophic Pride
This is the first full-scale look at the essential place of Stoicism in the foundations of modern political thought. Spanning the period from Justus Lipsius's Politics in 1589 to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile in 1762, and concentrating on arguments originating from England, France, and the Netherlands, the book considers how political writers of the period engaged with the ideas of the Roman and Greek Stoics that they found in works by Cicero, Se…
Rousseau, the Age of Enlightenment, and Their Legacies
The author of this book was one of the world's leading experts on Rousseau and the Enlightenment, but some of his best work was published in the form of widely scattered and difficult-to-find essays. This book collects for the first time a representative selection of his most important essays on Rousseau and the legacy of Enlightenment political thought. These essays concern many of the great themes of the age, including liberty, equality and the…

The French Augustinians
This chapter details the contemporary assault on Stoic moral psychology from the pens of the French Augustinians. The influence of the Stoic revival of the sixteenth century continued to be felt in a variety of spheres in seventeenth-century France, and gave rise to a variegated landscape which brought about several orientations toward the Stoics. The chapter considers one such orientation in particular — the nascent anti-Stoicism of the 1640s. T…
Isaiah Berlin’s Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment
This chapter focuses on the work of Isaiah Berlin. In 1973, Berlin produced the essay on “The Counter-Enlightenment,” which is commonly said to mark the invention of that term, at least in English. In the years following his retirement, his work on the Counter-Enlightenment enhanced his standing over the past twenty-five years, invigorating keen interest in new circles, most notably among communitarians who had earlier found his liberalism unpala…

“In Roman Costume and with Roman Phrases”
The paper presents a critical discussion of Pettit and Skinner's recent treatments of Hobbes on republican freedom, in particular situating Hobbes's attack on the republican politicians from The Elements of Law in the contexts, first, of other contemporary suspicion directed against those politicians who struck a distinctively “Roman” pose, and, second, of Hobbes's wider psychology of politics, before concluding with some reflections on the relat…
The spiral that vanished
University of Cambridge, 30 th June 1991
Beginning with a comparison of the complexities shared by St Paul and St Thomas More, the writer goes on to explore dimensions of More's household at Chelsea. Christopher Brooke continues to consider the debate about More's loyalties to the medieval world and/or the new world of Christian humanism. More’s capacity to embrace both interests is for the author a point of commendation
Religion, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain
In this volume seventeen distinguished historians of early modern Britain pay tribute to an outstanding scholar and teacher. Several present reviews of major areas of debate: of the significance of the regulations which determined the social and legal status of professional actors in Elizabethan England, of Protestant ideas about marriage, of the political significance of the Anglo-Scottish Union, of relations between the Churches of England, Sco…

Ground-based remote sensing of buildings and archaeological sites
The archaeological examination of standing buildings, particularly when still in use, is frequently compounded by the need to examine hidden areas where the use of destructive techniques is not desirable or not permissible. Other sections of historic building fabric, and related fittings, suffer frequently from the actions of erosion and decay, and sometimes from vandalism and unsympathetic repair, resulting in incomplete or incomprehensible deta…
