The purpose of this study was to write a biography of Thomas Bullock and discover his possible contributions to religious and profane history.

Thomas Bullock was intimately associated with leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for more than twenty-five years. He served twenty-one years in the Church Historian's office and also clerked in many city, county, and territorial positions, acting as scribe, clerk, and personal secretary to Joseph Smith Jr., Brigham Young, Willard Richards, and the Twelve Apostles. During this time he was privy to important events of late Nauvoo and early Utah Mormon history. His was a critical role in not only recording the history, but also in the gathering and preservation of historical documents. As a clerk Bullock frequently referred to himself as a man who was "doing my duty," and he surely fulfilled in his life the revelatory injunction: "It is the duty of the Lord's clerk, whom he has appointed, to keep a history, and a general record of all things that transpire in Zion." This essay will focus on how well Thomas Bullock fulfilled the duties he was given, particularly as they relate to his contributions to Mormon historiography.

A referida obra publicada em 1871, com segunda edição em 1872, foi escrita no calor dos conflitos do Prata e com a finalidade de recordar aos brasileiros, envolvi-dos na Guerra contra o Paraguai (estava em 1866), que seus patrícios já haviam enfrentado outro país ainda colônia – os invasores holandeses – e que teriam sido vitoriosos. / The research presented here fits into the contemporary research on the history of Brazilian historiography, where it was possible to identify and understand patterns in the writing of history commitment to the ideal of the nation during the Second Empire in the nineteenth century, from the deconstruction the plots of the narrative of the episode the invasion and expulsion of the Dutch in colonial Brazil (seventeenth century) elaborated by the historian-diplomat São Paulo Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen (1816-1878), the work Historia das Lutas contra os Hollandezes no Brasil desde 1624 a 1654, published in 1871. such work published in 1871, with a second edition in 1872, was written in the heat of the Silver and conflicts in order to remind the Brazilians involved in the war against Paraguay (was in 1866), that his countrymen have had faced yet another country colony - Dutch invaders - and that would have been victorious.

This paper examines the painter Peh Hilleström (1732–1816) as a participant in the eighteenth century, Stockholm art market, according to the model used by Michael Baxandall in his study of Italian Renaissance art. The art market of the eighteenth century was expanding and included new groups of buyers, outside traditional patrons of art as court and aristocracy. The main purpose of the paper is to find these new art consumers. I use probate inventories from Stockholm, from the years 1735, 1775, 1795, and 1815, in which I search for annotations of paintings. The results are examined from an economic perspective, based on wealth, and a social, based on occupation and titles. Examining these four years I find a rather extensive, bourgeois, market for art, including the less well of households, and fairly independent of social status. The sources give few if any, details of the paintings listed. Hence it is not possible to connect any of the annotations in the probate inventories to Hilleström, since artists’ names are never mentioned. From some of the clues given, there is nevertheless, possible to reconstruct the outlines of what an art collection might have looked like. The wide scope of Hillestöm’s production, illustrated by the artist’s own list of his paintings, might be interpreted as a way to cater for this new market, illustrated by e.g. the frequent repetition of motives. Finally, I examine a few of Hilleström’s own paintings in the light of the previous investigation. Together the sources give a picture of a – fairly widespread – ideal of interior decoration, in which paintings are an important part.

Early American writer Hugh Henry Brackenridge conceived and developed a code of modern chivalry in his writings that culminated in the long prose satire Modern Chivalry. He first introduced his code in the poem "The Modern Chevalier," in which a modern knight is shown traveling about the country in an attempt to understand and correct the political absurdities of the people. In Modern Chivalry, this code is developed in the three major themes of rationalism, morality, and moderation and the related concern that man recognize his proper place in society. Satire is Brackenridge's weapon as well as the primary aesthetic virtue of his novel. The metaphor of modern chivalry serves to tie the various elements of the rambling book into a unified whole.

This dissertation is an intellectual biography of John Charles Ryle, the first Bishop of Liverpool. Chapter 1 focuses on Ryle’s intellectual, theological, and spiritual formation. Special attention is given to his home, education at Eton and Oxford, conversion, religious opinions, and unexpected entrance into ministry. Chapter 2 discusses Ryle’s preaching, based primarily on the sermons he preached at Helmingham (1844-1861). It begins by tracing his homiletical development, which culminated in the development of a more simple and direct style of preaching that brought him national acclaim. This “crucified style” will then be analyzed in light of his classical rhetorical training as well as Victorian homiletical theory. The chapter will conclude with a rhetorical comparison of sermons preached by J. C. Ryle, John Henry Newman, and Charles Haddon Spurgeon on John 11. Chapter 3 examines Ryle’s pastoral theology by looking at a series of pastoral writings he began publishing at Helmingham. These include evangelical tracts, practical (devotional) commentaries on the four canonical gospels, and a series of less well-known hymn-books. Chapter 4 focuses on Ryle as a theological controversialist and champion of the Evangelical party. His writings against ritualism, neologianism, and Keswick spirituality are examined, and his role in these various debates are discussed. Chapter 5 discusses the role Ryle played as a nationally recognized leader of the Church of England. Attention is given to his attempts to unify the Evangelical party, his defense of the establishment, and his proposals for church reform. Chapter 6 examines Ryle’s episcopacy in Liverpool from 1880 to 1900. The chapter begins with a discussion of the state of the diocese before his appointment. This is followed by an analysis of his diocesan strategy to reach the “masses.” The chapter is concluded by considering Ryle’s major concerns for the Church of England in the closing decades of the nineteenth century.

José Fernando de Abascal y Sousa, virrey del Perú entre 1806 y 1816, tuvo que lidiar con diversas situaciones durante su periodo de gobierno: crisis monárquica, inicio del periodo liberal, juntas autónomas, primeros movimientos revolucionarios, entre otros. Su éxito ha hecho que el virreinato del Perú sea considerado en la historiografía como el bastión del fidelismo en Sudamérica. Sin embargo, esta consideración no solo se debió al accionar del virrey. Junto a él, estuvieron los intendentes, personajes que son el objeto de estudio de esta tesis. La presente investigación analiza a un grupo de intendentes, criollos y peninsulares, durante el gobierno de virrey Abascal para entender su accionar en conjunto y su rol dentro del proceso contrarrevolucionario. De esta manera, lo que se busca entender, al mismo tiempo, es como expresaron los intendentes su fidelidad al Rey durante un periodo tan convulso. / José Fernando de Abascal y Sousa, viceroy of Peru between 1806 and 1816, had to deal with various situations during his term of government: monarchical crisis, the beginning of the liberal period, autonomous juntas, first revolutionary movements, among others. His success has made the viceroyalty of Peru to be considered in the historiography as the bastion of fidelity in South America. However, this consideration was not only due to the actions of the viceroy. Next to him, were the intendants, characters that are the object of study of this thesis. The present investigation analyzes a group of intendants, creoles and peninsular, during the government of viceroy Abascal to understand their actions as a whole and their role in the counterrevolutionary process. In this way, what is sought to understand, at the same time, is how the intendants expressed their loyalty to the King during such a convulsive period. / Tesis
