段玉裁為清代乾嘉學術的代表學者，對《說文解字》研究有重大貢獻。梁啟超《清代學術概論》認為「玉裁所著書，最著者曰《說文解字注》，《六書音均表》。」學界大都把研究焦點放在《說文解字注》。然而，撰寫此書前，茂堂先撰寫《詩經小學》三十卷等書。《詩經小學》三十卷一書為茂堂較前期著述，實可了解茂堂治學之基礎。然學界對於《詩經小學》三十卷一書之研究，實寥寥可數。因此，為補充學界不足，本文以《詩經小學》三十卷一書作為主要研究對象。本文的主要研究目的有三項一，通過《詩經小學》三十卷比較段玉裁相關著述意見之異同；二，比較《詩經小學》三十卷及出土《詩經》材料；三，判斷茂堂之見是否可從。本文第二章通過《詩經小學》三十卷比較《毛詩故訓傳定本小箋》、《說文解字注》校勘意見，論證茂堂校勘方面的意見並非一成不變。茂堂所論或有可取處，或有斟酌處。第三章比較《詩經小學》三十卷及《詩經小學》四卷本文字意見，發現《詩經小學》三十卷所引石鼓文往往有可商之處。第四章通過《詩經小學》三十卷比較《六書音均表》及《說文解字注》聲韻意見，探討三書聲韻意見之異同，論述各書可取及不足之處。第五章通過《詩經小學》三十卷比較《毛詩故訓傳定本小箋》、《說文解字注》訓詁意見之分歧，探討《詩經小學》三十卷一書於釋詞方面的特色。第六章比較《詩經小學》三十卷及出土《詩經》材料，分辨可取及值得斟酌之意見。最後總結《詩經小學》三十卷在段學及《詩經》學上的意義及該書不足之處。=Being one of the eminent scholars of The Qian Jia School (Qian Jia xuepai 乾嘉學派) in the Qing Dynasty, Duan Yuchai (1735-1815) makes significant contribution to the study of Shuowen jiezi (Explaining single-component graphs and analysing compound characters) and his work was highly praised by his contemporaries. Liang Qichao in his Qingdai Xueshu Gailun (Introduction to the Intellectual Trends in the Qing Period) states that “the two important books written by Yuchai are Shuowen jiezi Zhu (The Annotation on Shuowen jiezi) and Liu-shu Yin-yün Biao (The Study of the Six Categories of the Formation of traditional Chinese characters and Palaeographic Phonology). Modern scholars pay more attention to the study of Shuowen jiezi Zhu. However, Duan Yuchai first basically completed the writing of the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue prior to the completion of the work Shuowen jiezi Zhu. Duan Yuchai wrote the the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue during the early stage of his research on classical and etymological studies. By looking into this work, we can have a better understanding of Duan’s fundamental studies on the above-mentioned areas. To date, little research has been done on the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the study of the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue. There are three aims of this thesis: First, compare the similarities and the differences in terms of Duan’s palaeological principles through the study of the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue; second, compare the palaeological findings between the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue and the excavated texts of Shijing; third, criticizing Duan’s theories to see whether his point of view can be applied in our research. This thesis consists of seven chapters. Chapter One is the Introduction. By studying Mao Shi Gu Xun Chuan Ding Ben Xiao Jian and Shuowen jiezi zhu with reference to the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue. Chapter Two demonstrates that Duan showed his flexibility in textual problem solving. The study of Duan’s principles on textual criticism is used for our further discussion. Chapter Three shows that the Stone Drum Inscriptions quoted in the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue require further investigation by comparing the Inscriptions used in the four and the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue. Chapter Four discusses the similarities and the differences of the three books, namely the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue, Liu-shu Yin-yün Piao and Shuowen jiezi zhu in terms of Duan’s perspectives on phonology. Chapter Five compares Duan’s views on Chinese semantics in Mao Shi Gu Xun Chuan Ding Ben Xiao Jian and Shuowen jiezi zhu with reference to the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue, exploring Duan interpreted traditional Chinese lexicons in the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue. Chapter Six distinguishes whether the theories are applicable or need further consideration by comparing the palaeological data between the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue and the excavated texts of Shijing. Chapter Seven points out the significance and shortcomings of Duan’s the thirty volumes of Shijing Xiaoxue and its value on the study of Shijing.

This thesis is a study of the novelists of the Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns (veterans and non-veterans), the novelists of the naval war, and the novelists of the home front in the Napoleonic Wars.

The origin of the Smoot family is traced to thirteenth century Holland when a vassal of the Count of Holland chose the name Smout. The family, after conspicuous service, entered the ranks of the nobility and gained a coat of arms. William Smoot contracted to perform fifty days service in the Colony of Virginia in 1633. Impressed by the new land, he settled in America.His decendent and the subject of this biography was born on February 17, 1815, in Owenton Franklin County, Kentucky, to George Smoot and Ann Rowlett who named their infant son Abraham Owen Smoot after an illustrious uncle, Colonel Abraham Owen. Young Abraham was so ill as a child that when he was nine years of age, burial clothes were prepared for his death which seemed imminent. Providence ruled otherwise. The young boy had a strong desire to live and find the true church. On March 22, 1835, at the age of twenty years, he was baptised by by Elder David Patten who in the confirmation promised Smoot that he would become strong and healthy which he did steadily from that date.After being placed in charge of a local branch, Smoot was ordained an Elder on February 26, 1836 and labored as a missionary companion to Elders David Patten and Warren Parrish. He also labored as a missionary with Wilford Woodruff with whom he journeyed to Kirtland to go through the Temple where he was ordained a Seventy on December 20.The Prophet Joseph sent Smoot back to the southern states to regain his health and to lead a company of southern saints to Missouri. Before starting south, he was promised in a Patriarchal Blessing pronounced by Joseph Smith Senior that he would recover his health and gain wisdom and fame among the saints and the Lord's protection while among his enemies. A Baptist Deacon who opposed Smoot in one of his public meetings of the journey was suddenly stricken dead.

Howard Egan, one of the outstanding members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the period shortly after its organization, demonstrated his faithfulness to the Church by supporting the leaders, through all their difficulties, from the day of his conversion until the end of his life. While living in Nauvoo he lent his assistance to the leaders by serving as a city policeman, as Captain of the Camp Creek detachment of the Nauvoo Legion on reconnaissance duty during the mob hostilities of 1845, and as a missionary for the Church in the Eastern States. During the exodus of the Saints from Nauvoo, he organized one hundred families of Saints into a compact group and moved them safely to the west bank of the Mississippi.In order to maintain continuity of narrative, the writer has followed closely the chronology of the Church History, Egan's diary as contained in the book Pioneering the West, and other histories which include him in their records. The material quoted in the pages of this thesis, when copied from records searched, has been written as the writer found it. He has made no changes in spelling or punctuation.

This diploma thesis presents an overview of the archaeology of military camps and field fortifications from modern period (1498-1815) in the region of South Bohemia. It summarizes and evaluates the present South Bohemian research in the context of modern Euro-Atlantic conflict archaeology as well as the research conducted in Czech Republic. The recherché deals with published Czech and foreign research. An integral part of thesis is the description of the modern period war events concerning South Bohemia with overlap to bordering regions of Germany and Austria. The core of the study contains several case studies, where author presents various types of sites with temporary military constructions using different methodological approaches suitable for individual types. These include the siege of České Budějovice town during the Bohemian Revolt in the years 1618-1619 investigated by the analysis of the iconographic source, localisation and excavation of remains interpreted as one-off field fortification in Lhenice region, or the identification and interpretation of the field camp based on cartographic sources. These chapters presenting also results of field survey, are accompanied by further topics such as the role of castles in modern period conflicts or issue of borderline fortifications and camps.

Although Anthony Trollope has traditionally been considered an anti-feminist author, studies within the past decade have shown that Trollope's later novels show support for female power and sympathy for Victorian women who were dissatisfied with their narrow roles in society. A feminist reading of two of his earliest novels, The Warden and Barchester Towers, shows that Trollope's feminism is not limited to his later works. In The Warden, Trollope acclaims female power and "woman's logic" through female characters and the womanly warden, Septimus Harding. In Barchester Towers, Trollope continues to support feminism through his positive portrayals of strong, independent women and the androgynous Harding. In Barchester Towers, the battle of the sexes ends in a balance of power.
