  • The English Sugar Islands and the Founding of South Carolina

    Richard S DunnCHAPTERAtlantic Slave Trade2022

    In 1670, the several English island colonies were at quite different stages of development Barbados was the richest, most highly developed, most populous, and most congested English colony in America, with a thriving sugar industry and 50,000 inhabitants, including 30,000 Negroes. Jamaica, a far larger place than Barbados or the Leewards, and potentially the most valuable English sugar producer, was in 1670 a raw and boisterous frontier outpost, …

  • Mathematical Instruments in the Collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France

    Open AccessRichard S Dunn, Richard DunnARTICLEJournal of the History of…2021

    Mathematical instruments have been commonly included in libraries, albeit in relatively small numbers, for centuries. While many have now been transferred to museums, some have stayed where they were, as the preface to this catalogue from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (bnf) notes. Anthony Turner’s excellent knowledge of the history of scientific instruments and their collecting is well known thanks to a number of important publications and…

  • Scientific instrument collections in the creation of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich

    Open AccessRichard S Dunn, Richard Dunn et al.ARTICLEJournal of the History of…2019

    This paper considers the role of private collections in the formation of the scientific instrument collection of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Thanks largely to the support of a rich shipping owner, James Caird, and guided by its first director, Geoffrey Callender, the museum was able voraciously to collect objects of all types in the two decades after its foundation in the 1930s. Concentrating on the acquisition by purchase and throug…

  • A Tale of Two Plantations

    Richard S Dunn, Richard DunnBOOKTale of Two Plantations2014

    Richard Dunn reconstructs the lives of three generations of slaves on a sugar estate in Jamaica and a plantation in Virginia, to understand the starkly different forms slavery took. Deadly work regimens and rampant disease among Jamaican slaves contrast with population expansion in Virginia leading to the selling of slaves and breakup of families

  • Four possible nemeton place-names in the Bristol and Bath area

    Richard S Dunn, Richard DunnARTICLELandscape History2005

    This paper discusses the possibility that four places in the Bristol and Bath region derive their names from the Celtic word nemet or nemeton meaning a ‘sacred place’. A detailed examination of the topography of each place is presented together with what is known about the archaeology. This analysis suggests significant similarities between the places and that they may all have a long history of being ritual sites. Some comparisons are made to ot…

  • After tobacco

    Open AccessRichard S DunnCHAPTEREarly Modern Atlantic Economy2001

    The early modern Atlantic economic system depicted by the previous essayists in this volume – in which labourers from Africa cultivated sugar, rice and tobacco crops in America that were marketed in Europe – developed in unexpected and unusual ways in one important region of the Atlantic world. In Virginia and Maryland, market forces created a plantation system at the close of the eighteenth century with a surplus of agricultural labourers. Elsew…

  • Princes of Ireland, Planters of Maryland

    Richard S Dunn, Ronald Hoffman et al.ARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly2001

    Charles Carroll of Carrollton is most often remembered as the sole Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. In this study of the Carrolls in Ireland and America, that act vindicates a family's determination to triumph without compromising lineage and faith. Peeling back layer after layer of Carroll family history, Ronald Hoffman shows how the dramatic journey from Irish rebels to successful American revolutionaries shaped and sha…

  • Building regression models

    Richard S Dunn, Richard DunnARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…1989Citada por: 1

    In this paper the importance of graphical methods in simple and multiple regression analysis is discussed. It is argued that a graphically oriented approach has considerable pedagogic advantages in the exposition of simple and multiple regression. It is also shown that graphical methods may play a central role in the process of building regression models. These points are illustrated with a variety of data sets

  • Bound for America

    Richard S Dunn, A Roger EkirchARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History1989Citada por: 28

    During the eighteenth century, transportation to the colonies became Britain's foremost criminal punishment. From 1718 to 1775, British courts banished fifty thousand convicts. They formed the largest body of emigrants after African slaves ever compelled to go to America. The first comprehensive account of the transportation in the years preceding the settling of Australia, Bound for America combines analysis with a vivid narrative to provide new…

  • Graphical Assessment of Housing Market Models

    Open AccessPaul A Longley, Paul Longley et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies1988Referências: 19

    This paper considers the selection of appropriate functional forms for discrete choice models of housing market behaviour. It is argued that uncritical adoption of linear or log-linear forms may be inappropriate, and that Box-Tukey transformations are unnecessarily cumbersome and mechanistic devices in the search for more general functional forms. An alternative graphical assessment procedure based on partial residuals is first presented and is t…
