The Purchase of the Past. Collecting Culture in Pre-Revolutionary Paris c. 1790-1890
In pre-Revolutionary France, collecting was essentially a private affair. Although some collectors opened their collections, especially in Paris, admittance was usually limited to friends or those armed with letters of recommendation. The royal collections, held in the Bibliothèque du roi and the Jardin du roi, were more open than most, but they were largely closed to the public. The French Revolution changed the collecting landscape virtually ov…
Printed Theses in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century France
As in all regions of Europe, public disputations in Ancien Regime France were a central part of French academic life. The printed sets of theses that many students distributed beforehand give a good idea of the main thrust of the subsequent debate, and enough examples still exist, especially in medicine, to allow historians to chart the changing content of the higher-education curriculum across the Bourbon centuries. This essay begins by introduc…
Belief and Politics in Enlightenment France. Essays in Honor of Dale K. Van Kley
Dale Van Kley’s contribution to our understanding of the continued importance of religion in the Age of Enlightenment needs no introduction. In the final quarter of the twentieth century, beginning in 1975 with his monograph on the expulsion of the Jesuits, he produced a series of seminal books and articles which argued strongly that Jansenism played a key role in France in undermining respect for the crown and the absolute monarchy. In the last …

François Zanetti, L’Electricité médicale dans la France des Lumières
From the moment in the first half of the eighteenth century when Europe’s experimental philosophers began to investigate the new force of electricity, a number of them started to explore the possibility of using its power to cure disease, especially paralysis. This book specifically looks at the history of electrotherapy in France in the decade 1775 to 1785. French scientists, such as the abbé Nollet, had used electricity as a medical treatment i…

Les Universites dans la ville. XVIe-XVIIIE siecle
Universities have always been urban institutions and part of the urban landscape. However, as the editors of this volume of essays rightly point out, the relationship between the university and the town has yet to be closely explored. An important collection of essays on the topic was published in 1988 by Thomas Bender and several interesting accounts of town-gown relations in specific universities and at specific moments have appeared in the jou…

Childhood and Violence in the Western Tradition
The violence and neglect suffered by children today is a common subject of media attention and much political hand-wringing, not just in Britain but in other parts of the western world. As yet, however, there has been no attempt to explore this concern historically and look at how the boundary between good and bad parenting may have changed across time. This book attempts to fill the gap by examining the role of violence and neglect in the relati…

Nelson's Grand National Obsequies
Nelson's lying in state and funeral that took place between 6 and 9 January 1806 was elaborate, well planned and expensive. It was modelled on the celebrations for the recovery of George III from his first bout of madness on St George's day 1789, with, as the Lord Chamberlain put it, the coffin in the place of their majesties. After the defeat of the allies at Austerlitz, it was essential to stage a great patriotic event that bridged the confessi…
Science, the Universities, and other Public Spaces
To date there has been little detailed research into the history of institutionalized science teaching in the eighteenth century, apart from work done on the British Isles, France, and the Netherlands. The paucity of data reflects the fact that until recently historians of eighteenth-century natural philosophy have taken little interest in the history of science in the classroom, assuming the subject of small importance. This chapter aims to demo…
