Military Coups and Turkish Democracy, 1960–1980
In 1921, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk enunciated an important verity.Footnote 1 He proclaimed, “We resemble ourselves.” Nowhere is that more true than in regard to the Turkish military's role in politics. As many have pointed out, the Turkish armed forces have not behaved as a South American model might have suggested. Nor have they acted as Middle Eastern or North African military establishments would have. Instead the institution has taken a course co…

Ethnic Conflict and the Kurds
The Kurds seem further from autonomy or independence today than in the past. In part, the cause lies in their disunity in language, religious behavior, and es pecially tribal structure. The division of their core area among Turkey, Iran, and Iraq after the First World War assured Kurdish nationalism major opponents. In Turkey, the govern ment has attempted to deny the very existence of Kurds as a separate people. While Kurdish leaders can exploit…

The Ethics of College Students
The American college is a picturesque, a unique, a very vital community. Students are not out of the world—a college is not a monastery; yet it is a world of its own, with peculiar objects and traditions, with a distinct atmosphere. The catalogue shows a curriculum, a faculty, a few hundred names, and the college would seem to be lectures, study, recitations. But around all that and including it, the college is a great fraternity, a mystic circle…
Domestic Every-day Life, Manners, and Customs in this Country, from the Earliest Period to the End of the Eighteenth Century
We have now arrived at the concluding epoch among those which I have marked out in taking a survey of the different periods in the Domestic History of this country, and of the Pursuits and Modes of Life of our Forefathers; and in the present paper I shall endeavour to trace the course of civilization down to the era in which we are now living
Domestic Everyday Life, Manners, and Customs in this Country, from the earliest period to the end of the Eighteenth Century
The history of civilization generally, and of the mode of life of our forefathers, embraced by the present paper, is a record rather of progress than of actual change in the condition of this country. No external circumstances operated to affect the latter through invasion by a foreign foe, as was the case during each of the periods of history considered in my former discourses. Civil war between contending parties for the crown of England, had n…
Original Records Respecting the Plague in this Country
We have accounts of the reappearance of the plague on the continent of Europe, which, if they do not create actual alarm, are at any rate calculated to excite a strong interest about it, more especially as regards the precautionary and other measures which were adopted in this country on the occasion of its former visitations. To some of the official documents recording these proceedings I have been allowed to have access, and I propose now to la…
Domestic Every-day Life, Manners, and Customs in this Country, from the Earliest Period to the End of the Eighteenth Century
Having in my last paper endeavoured to trace the influence upon society, manners, and civilization of the Norman conquest through the influence of new blood and the introduction of new customs and modes of living, as also of a system of jurisprudence in many respects different from that which had before prevailed; I shall now proceed to describe the manners and customs and mode of life prevalent in this country at the period following that of the…
Domestic Every-day Life, and Manners and Customs in this Country, From the Earliest Period to the end of the Eighteenth Century
The Norman conquest, when William, Duke of Normandy, in the year 1066, landed in this country with a number of his chosen followers, and after killing King Harold in battle, and routing his army, established here the Norman sway, and introduced new laws and customs and manners, is one of those leading events in the history of this country by which the most important results upon its whole career, and more especially the cause of its civilization,…
Domestic Every-day Life, and Manners and Customs in this Country, from the Earliest Period to the End of the Last Century
In the series of papers on “Domestic Every-day Life, and Manners and Customs in the Ancient World,” which I have had the pleasure of reading before this Society, I endeavoured to afford an insight into the mode of living among the people of the nations of old, more especially the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Jews, commencing with those of which we have the earliest authentic records, and carrying the account down to the period when Roman civili…

Domestic Everyday Life, Manners, and Customs in the Ancient World
There is nothing which contributes more fully to throw light on the manners and habits of a people, or more forcibly to exhibit to us the tone of thought which prevailed among them, than the rites and ceremonies that they adopted connected with their religion. And the wilder and more extravagant the superstitions which in such a nation prevailed, the more strikingly do they evince the tone of thought and feeling that animated the people. Potent e…

Materials for A Domestic History of England
There are as many different modes of writing the history of each country, as there are differences between one country and another in all those various qualities which contribute to constitute the character of a nation. Some histories treat on the laws and constitution, some on the political contentions, some on the commercial enterprises, and some on the natural productions, of a country. That, however, which appears to me to be the most importa…
Domestic Everyday Life, Manners, and Customs in the Ancient World
History is, of all studies, the most interesting and the most generally followed. By this means we become acquainted with what has taken place during the ages of the world which preceded our own; and vast and valuable indeed are the lessons to be learned from the extended experience thus afforded. Of all the various branches of history, that which relates to the domestic everyday life of our fellow-creatures who have lived before us under very di…
