Changes in quality of life and mental health outcomes related to vaping cessation among US adults
This study demonstrates that vaping cessation is associated with improved quality of life and mental health. Future research should continue to explore long-term health outcomes and develop targeted interventions for vaping cessation
Pocock and Meinecke, Machiavellianism and Historicism
Tracking the burden, distribution, and impact of Post-Covid conditions in diverse populations for children, adolescents, and adults (Track PCC)
These data can help identify which groups are most affected by PCC, and what health differences among demographic groups exist, as well as indicate potential barriers to care. These additional levels of granularity can inform public health action and help direct needed clinical care for patients
Hellenism, Hebraism, and Heathenism in Nineteenth-Century England
The major fault-line in Victorian engagement with the Bible and antiquity lay between believers and unbelievers, across a wide array of perspectives. Something of this is traced here, from the rationalistic legacy of Bentham to Pusey’s consciously reactionary repudiation of his own early immersion in German scholarship.Consequently, literature about the Bible and antiquity could be polemical, but solvents could be found, not least ones that were …

Literary Britten
Britten is the most literary British composer of the twentieth century. His relationship to the many and varied texts that he set was deeply committed and sensitive. As a result, both his responses to poetry and his collaborationswith his librettists tell us a great deal about his music, and often, about the man himself. Britten is the most literary British composer of the twentieth century. His relationship to the many and varied texts that he s…
The Cambridge Companion to Edward Gibbon
Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, published in three instalments from 1776 to 1788, is widely regarded as the greatest work of history in the English language. Starting with the accession of the Roman Emperor Commodus in the late second century CE, Gibbon's work traverses thirteen centuries, encompassing the rise of Christianity and of Islam, the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West, and the fall of the Byza…

Cambridge Companion to Edward Gibbon
A. G. MacDonell’s England, their England
England, their England , a now forgotten bestseller, was one of a series of travelogues produced by survivors of the First World War during the 1930s in a country recovering its sense of purpose and identity; unusually, in this case it took the form of an autobiographical novel. A. G. MacDonell was an insider/outsider, a Scottish Wykehamist, a journalist and a partisan Liberal writing with astringent wit about the fusion of reactionary, self-serv…
Dethroning historical reputations
The campaigns in universities across the world to reject, rename and remove historic benefactions have brought the present into collision with the past. In Britain, people are reconsidering civic monuments in light of an imperial past. In America, memorials to leaders of the Confederacy and to other slaveholders have been the subject of intense dispute. Should we continue to honour historic figures whose actions are now deemed ethically unaccepta…
Barbarism and Religion. Vol. VI, Barbarism
This is J.G.A. Pocock’s scholarly swansong—the conclusion not only of his long-sustained examination of the historiographical worlds of Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, but also of an unparalleled career as author of a series of seminal studies in the history of political thought and historiography. At once a discrete contribution to Gibbon studies and a summative statement of so much else that Pocock has studied during an unusually engaged and intelle…

Barbarism and Religion. Volume 5
In a review of the 1855 edition of Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, annotated by Guizot and Henry Hart Milman, Walter Bagehot retailed an anecdote from the 1780s: ‘Mr. Sheridan, who never read anything “on principle”, said that he found the crimes of Warren Hastings surpassed anything to be found in the “correct sentences of Tacitus” or “on the luminous page of Gibbon”. Some one seems to have been struck with the jet of learning, and questioned the gre…
John Jortin, Ecclesiastical History, and the Christian Republic of Letters
The writing of ecclesiastical history is rarely disinterested, and this was especially so in eighteenth-century England. Its leading practitioner, John Jortin, wrote with a clear, determined, and dynamic purpose: to offer an effective critique of orthodoxy and its ally, persecution, and to secure civil and religious liberty in a way commensurate with maintaining an established church and liberal learning. His life and writings meditated on early …
J.W. Burrow
The late John Burrow, one of the most stimulating promoters of the distinctively interdisciplinary enterprise that is Intellectual History, was a vital member of what has become known as the ‘Sussex School’. In exploring the resonances of his singular and richly idiosyncratic contribution, this article places his unique historical sensibility within a series of interpretative contexts, demonstrating the vitality of writings that will continue to …
Preludes and postludes to Gibbon
The study of historiography is undergoing a revolution akin to that which took place in the history of political thought in the 1960s, and the work of J. G. A. Pocock is central to both. Pocock's continuing exploration, in Barbarism and Religion (1999-), of the intellectual context of Gibbons History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire , is central to this enterprise, and this essay situates the origins of his own work within a pre-'Cambr…

Religious History and the Eighteenth-Century Historian
The relationship between intellectual secularization and the writing of academic history has long been one of the major neglected themes in British historiography, and its unexamined presuppositions are explored here in relation to the religious history of the eighteenth century. A great deal of the history of eighteenth-century religion has been written from a confessional standpoint, and this has served further to marginalize discussion of the …

Deciding to give to charity
Research on charitable giving has tended to examine either the individual characteristics of donors, or those of households. However, both approaches overlook the interactive processes that take place within households which may influence charitable donation in a variety of ways. For example, the system of financial organisation adopted by a couple can set limits on the degree of individual financial autonomy, and this in turn can influence the f…
Practical contributions of occupational science to the art of successful ageing
Given that the longevity revolution has already arrived and will continue to flourish in the upcoming decades, Western societies are confronted with the urgent challenge of promoting the goal of successful ageing for untold millions of citizens. With regard to this goal, current thinking points to the optimistic conclusion that potentially controllable lifestyle factors play a crucial role in enabling people to experience health and satisfying li…
In Its Corporate Capacity
The end of the Lower Canada rebellions of 1837-8 assured the survival of the Seminary. Assuming a reinforced social and ideological role in industrializing Montreal, the Seminary benefited from new corporate powers, rights of recruitment, and income, while its expanding social role ensured its protection by an appreciate bourgeoisie. Emphasizing economic rather than religious history, Brian Young's study compares the Seminary's pre-industrial for…

The Hong Kong Chinese data support the expected increase in 3DPP with ages from three to seventeen and the expected male 3DPP superiority after age eight, thought to stem from increased testosterone output from that age, stimulating the development of the cholinergic inhibit…

Scepticism in Excess’
Since the appearance of volume I of The decline and fall of the Roman empire in 1776, the religion of Edward Gibbon has been subject to intense debate. He has been variously identified as an atheist, a deist, even as a somewhat detached Christian. Examination of his relations, both personal and scholarly, with the varieties of religion and irreligion current in eighteenth-century Britain leads to the conclusion that he remained resolutely critica…
The Soul–Sleeping System’; Politics and Heresy in Eighteenth–Century England
Historians of eighteenth–century England have begun to reassess its relationship with the preceding century, creating in the process the now conventional periodisation of a ‘long eighteenth century’ from c. 1660 to 1832. Historical revisionism, however, needs constantly to be revised, and there remains the danger of creating too sharp a separation between this period and that which preceded it. This article aims to introduce just such a complicat…

Developmental Influences on Geometric Illusion Susceptibility among Hong Kong Chinese Children
Hong Kong Chinese developmental results are presented to test cross-cultural developmental theories relating to changes in illusion susceptibility with age. The Muller-Lyer (M-L) and Sander-Parallelogram (S-P) illusion data confirm the expected decrease with age from 3-12 (Walter, 1942), and the later increase to age 21 due to exposure to a more sophisticated environment (Wapner and Werner, 1957). The data also supported Piaget and Morf's (1956) …

In the same sense that health intervention focused on the daily occupations of the well‐elderly can promote successful ageing, programs aimed at the daily occupations of at‐risk youth may act as a potential deterrent to street gang activity. In the city of Los Angeles, thousands of young people come under the influence of gang culture and in turn, lead lifestyles destructive to themselves and society.

Orientation Errors in Copying by Children in Hong Kong
Hong Kong children in two age groups (3-4 years and 6-7 years) were asked to copy a number of geometric shapes. Orientation errors were found to correspond with two types of error observed in U.S. samples: inversions of shapes regarded by children as having "right-side-up" and "wrong-side up" positions, when presented for copying in a "wrong-side up" orientation; and left-right reversal of a shape inconsistent with the usual sequence of strokes i…

Constraints on Classificatory Skills in Young Children
On three occasions over a one‐year period 23 children aged 3–4 were asked to match target objects with other objects which were similar to the target in shape or in colour but not in both. A sequence of matches to each target was asked for. The structure of these sequences is examined for evidence of classificatory abilities. Many subjects appear to be attempting (not always successfully) to follow a strategy of ‘holding fast’ to their original c…

In Its Corporate Capacity
Since the 1660s, the Seminary of Montreal -- a French, male religious community -- had been an integral part of the merchant, seigneurial, and clerical elite that dominated Montreal. Its significance in pre-industrial society was strengthened by its role as seigneur of Montreal Island and titular parish priest. The Seminary survived the British conquest, but came under increasing attack in the early nineteenth century from industrial producers an…
