Alert to Glory by Sally Ito (review)
The laberinth of thir difficulties’
In the inflationary economic conditions of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries Highland chiefs borrowed extensively. Indebtedness was caused by increasing expenditure in response to the rising authority of the state, which included an active engagement with the central courts and the employment of the legal profession; conspicuous consumption, absenteeism following the regal union of 1603 and a relatively plentiful supply of credit…

Lionel Penrose, F.R.S. (1898–1972) and eugenics. Part two
The method of improving the human genetic constitution divides into positive and negative eugenics. Positive eugenics is the policy of encouraging and promoting the procreation of those with socially desirable faculties and abilities. Negative eugenics on the other hand is designed to limit the procreation of those with a poor, disadvantageous genetic constitution which may be transmitted to their offspring. Policy proposals to achieve the aims o…
Lionel Penrose, F.R.S. (1898–1972) and eugenics
Lionel Penrose was born in London. His father, James Doyle Penrose a portrait painter, and his mother, Elizabeth Josephine (née Peckover) Penrose, were both members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) as their ancestors had been for 200 years. As Dr Harry Harris F.R.S., a colleague and author of Penrose's memoir in Biographical Memoirs of the Royal Society , observes, Lionel and his three brothers ‘were brought up strictly according to the religi…

What is Diplomatic History
The practice of international history, that is of the history of relations between nation states, began in the nineteenth century with the publication, first, of the great series on international treaties, and then of national diplomatic documents pioneered by the British official blue books and followed by the national publication of documents on the origins of the Franco-Prussian war and on the war of 1914–18. Most historians of nineteenth-cent…

America and the British Foreign Policy-Making Elite, from Joseph Chamberlain to Anthony Eden, 1895–1956
This study suggested itself to the author when he noticed that such work as had been done on British attitudes to America fell into two main divisions: (a) studies, usually of American origin, of movements in the mass of British opinion; (b) studies of the radical and politically “nonconformist” elements in British political society. Both of these seemed to the author to be vitiated as contributions to the understanding of the various development…
