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.

Thesis (MMus) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation is an account of Paul Hindemith's life between 1919 and 1939 with special reference to his compositional development through the three sonatas for viola and piano. The introduction to the dissertation initially provides a list of Hindemith's vast output for the viola followed by insight into the reason and need for undertaking this research, literary sources used and their function in the context of this study and the conclusion that there is a lack of extant research on the three sonatas for viola and piano. This is followed by comments on Hindemith as a viola player and composer, supported by opinions of scholars and performers. An overview of the contents and aim of the dissertation completes the introduction. This first of the two comprehensive chapters briefly discusses Hindemith's character traits as viewed by a number of scholars and continues by introducing the political, social and financial circumstances in Germany in 1919. The chapter progresses into a division of the period 1919-1939 into six sub-sections of dates within this time span. Each section focuses on the political, financial and musical circumstances in Hindemith's life, with special attention given to the periods of greatest change and conflict. Included in this chapter are also the specific circumstances surrounding the composition, first performances and publication of the three sonatas for viola and piano, alongside mention of other works written at the same time. This is supported by references and quotations from correspondence between Hindemith and his wife, colleagues and friends, as well as translations of newspaper articles, letters and articles which thus far have not been translated into English. Special attention is given to possible reasons for the late publication of op.25 no.4 in 1977. Chapter 2 looks deeper into the significance, success and development of Hindemith through these three works. His stylistic development beginning with the influences of Debussy and Reger, his identification with the 'Neue Sachlichkeit' until the beginning of his later conservatism can be seen clearly in these three works. The aim of the study is to assimilate the available information into an accurate and coherent picture of the composer's life and stylistic development between 1919 and 1939 in a way that has not been presented before. It is my intention through this work that the unique style of the sonatas as well as their important place in the viola repertoire is apparent, and consequently of interest to other viola players, hopefully encouraging them to play the works themselves. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis word Paul Hindemith se lewe tussen 1919 en 1939 beskryf, met spesiale verwysing na sy ontwikkeling as komponis soos dit waargeneem kan word in die drie sonates vir altviool en klavier. Die inleiding tot die tesis verskaf 'n lys van Hindemith se omvangryke oeuvre vir die altviool, gevolg deur 'n motivering waarom hierdie studie onderneem word. Die omvattende literatuurstudie dui daarop dat daar tot op datum baie min navorsing oor die drie altvioolsonates gedoen is. Vervolgens word kommentaar gelewer op Hindemith as altviolis en komponis, ondersteun deur opinies van uitvoerende kunstenaars en musikoloë. 'n Oorsig oor die inhoud en die doelstellings van die tesis sluit die inleiding af. Die eerste van die twee omvattende hoofstukke begin met 'n bespreking van Hindemith se karakter, gevolg deur 'n oorsig oor die politieke, sosiale en ekonomiese omstandighede in Duitsland rondom 1919. Die tydperk 1919-1939 word dan in ses onderafdelings verdeel. Elke onderafdeling plaas die fokus op spesifieke politieke, finansiële en musikale omstandighede in Hindemith se lewe. Die jare waarin konflik en verandering op besondere wyse na vore tree word meer omvattend bespreek. Teen die agtergrond van ander werke uit hierdie tyd word die spesifieke omstandighede rondom die komposisie, eerste uitvoering en publikasie van die drie altvioolsonates in detail beskryf. Dit word aangevul deur verwysings na en aanhalings uit korrespondensie tussen Hindemith en sy vrou, kollegas en vriende, sowel as deur vertalings van koerantartikels en briewe wat tot dusver nog nie in Engels beskikbaar was nie. Hoofstuk 2 plaas die klem op Hindemith se stilistiese ontwikkeling, soos dit in the drie sonates waargeneem word. Die sonates illustreer Hindemith se ontwikkeling vanaf sy bewondering vir Debussy en Reger, oor sy vereenselwiging met die ideale van die 'Neue Sachlichkeit' tot by die meer konservatiewe benadering wat hy later gevolg het. Hierdeur word gepoog om die unieke waarde van die sonates, asook die belangrike plek wat hulle in die algemene altvioolrepertorium beklee, te beskryf. Hopelik sal die studie die belangstelling van altvioliste wek en hulle aanmoedig om die werke ook self te speel. Die doel van die studie is dus om die beskikbare inligting tot 'n samehangende en akkurate beeld van die komponis se lewe en stilistiese ontwikkeling tussen 1919 en 1939 te voeg op 'n wyse wat nog nie voorheen gedoen is nie. Hierdeur word gepoog om die unieke waarde van die sonates asook die belangrike plek wat hulle in die algemene altvioolrepertorium beklee, te beskryf. Hopelik sal die studie die belangstelling van altvioliste wek en hulle aanmoedig om die werke ook self te speel.

O presente estudo aborda o início da profissionalização da enfermagem brasileira através da vinda de enfermeiras francesas, de 1890 a 1895, para o Hospício Nacional de Alienados (HNA), no Rio de Janeiro, capital do recém instalado governo republicano. O contrato, de 1890 que proporcionou a vinda dessas profissionais foi uma das medidas do governo para sanar a crise institucional acarretada pela saída das Irmãs de Caridade desse hospício, onde elas exerciam cuidados de enfermagem. São objetivos do estudo: identificar as possíveis circunstâncias que culminaram em um contrato, firmado entre os governos do Brasil e da França, que promoveu a vinda de enfermeiras francesas para o Hospício Nacional de Alienados, no Rio de Janeiro, em 1891; Descrever o processo de laicização nos hospitais e da profissionalização da enfermagem francesa definindo o perfil das enfermeiras formadas pela Escola de Salpêtrière; analisar a trajetória da vinda dessas profissionais ao Brasil, no contexto histórico do início da Primeira República; levantar as possíveis atividades que enfermeiras francesas teriam desempenhado no Hospício Nacional de Alienados. A fundamentação teórico-metodológica foi feita com base na proposta da História Nova, tomando como dimensão os conceitos da História Social. No âmbito da abordagem, o tema estudado conduziu para um enfoque direcionado pela Micro-História, com a técnica da Descrição Densa como forma de narrativa. Os dados coletados foram interpretados de acordo com as novas perspectiva da escrita da história, de Burke, vinculados com o objeto através da triangulação de dados. O corpus documental é composto majoritariamente pelos relatórios ministeriais da época e de algumas evidências sobre as enfermeiras francesas disponibilizadas pelo acervo documental do Palácio do Itamaraty. Outro importante recurso utilizado foi a mídia escrita, principalmente os registros noticiosos publicados pelo \"Jornal do Commercio\", pelo \"Diário Oficial\" e pela revista \"O Brazil-Médico\". O estudo nos possibilita perceber o conturbado contexto que deu origem à enfermagem francesa e os diversos modelos existentes na França, tendo então prevalecido o modelo do Dr. Bourneville que, através de sua atuação como médico, político e jornalista, organizou escolas de formação e escreveu manuais de enfermagem que influenciaram diversos países no mundo. O contexto brasileiro encontrava-se muito conturbado com a transição do governo monárquico para o republicano no final do século XIX, motivando transformações sócio-políticas que caracterizavam o país como importador das idéias positivo-evolucionistas européias, concretizando assim a intencionalidade de \"civilizar\" a nação, trazendo como pano de fundo o desenvolvimento da medicina social e da psiquiatria como forma de higienização/exclusão. Ao relacionar o desenvolvimento da enfermagem na França com o ideário republicano brasileiro percebe-se que a contratação de cerca de 40 enfermeiras francesas para o trabalho no HNA estava diretamente relacionada com a intenção de reafirmar o governo recém instalado e inaugurar, no Brasil, uma profissão para mulheres inspirada no modelo de enfermagem de Bourneville / The study approaches the beginning of the Brazilian nursing professionalization through the coming of French nurses, from 1890 to 1895, to the Insane National Hospital (HNA), Rio de Janeiro, capital of the recently installed republican government. The contract which facilitated the coming of those professionals was one of the government strategies to solve the institutional crisis caused by the Sisters of Charity who had gone from the hospital, where they exerted nursing care. The objectives of the study are: to identify possible circunstances that had culminated in a contract, signed between the Brazil and France goverments, wich has promoted tha french nurse arrival to the Insane National Hospital, Rio de Janeiro, 1891; to describe the laicization process within hospitais and the French nursing professionalization, definning the profile of nurses educated by the Salpêtrière School; to analyse the trajetory of these professionals comming to Brazil, within the historical context of the beginning of he First Republic; to survey possible activities French nurses had performed at the Insane National Hospital. The theoretical and methodological foundations were done based on the proposal of New History, taking the concepts of Social History as its dimension. Through such an approach the studied theme has conducted to a focus of Micro-history, with dense description technique for narration. Data collected were interpreted according to the new perspective of written history, by Burke, linked to the object through data triangulation. Documental corpus is made up mainly by ministry reports of that time and on some evidences about French nurses disposed by the Itamaraty Palace (Ministry of External Relations) documentary archives. Another important resource was the written media, in particular those news published by the \"Jornal do Commercio\", the \"Diário Oficial\" and the journal \"O Brazil-Medico\". Through this study it is possible to notice the turmoil context which gave origin to the French nursing and the existence of several models in France, among which had prevailed the of Br Bourneville who acting as a physician, politician and journalist established training schools and wrote nursing manuals which have influenced several countries worldwide. The Brazilian context was much disturbed during the transition from monarchy to the republic at the end of the XIX Century, motivating socio-political changes which have characterized the country as a importer of European positive-evolutionist ideas, concretizing the intention of civilizing the nation. This had as scenario the social medicine and psychiatry development as a way of hygienezation/exclusion. Relating nursing development in France with Brazilian republican ideas, it is noticed that bringing approximately 40 French nurses to work at HNA was directly linked to the intention of reaffirming the recently established government intention to create a career for women inspired on Bourneville nursing model

Desde os tempos da propaganda republicana, interessava aos paulistas, principalmente, a instituição do sistema federativo, que favorecia as oligarquias estaduais. Para que não houvesse um retrocesso ao regime monárquico, o apoio da bancada paulista ao governo de Floriano Peixoto, aprovando no Congresso Nacional os atos do poder executivo, foi fundamental para que o marechal sufocasse as rebeliões causadas pelos diferentes grupos que disputavam o poder após a proclamação da República. O apoio do PRP não se restringiu apenas à atuação de seus membros nas câmaras do Congresso Nacional, em 1891/1892, quando de sua convocação extraordinária. Em 1893, por ocasião da Revolta Federalista, e com a promulgação da lei estadual nº 120, de 15 de março, a ajuda de São Paulo se estendeu ao envio de capitais, armamentos e homens, para a capital da Republica, em defesa do governo, contra a Revolta da Armada (1893/1894). O apoio também se estendeu à imprensa republicana paulista, por meio de O Estado de S. Paulo / This dissertation has as main objective to analyze how members of the Partido Republicano Paulista (PRP), composed by the new oligarchy of Sao Paulo, favored by the growth of crops and exports of coffee, got together with the government of Floriano Peixoto, from November 23, 1891, until the Naval Revolt (1893 – 1894). Since the beginning of republican propaganda, interested the paulistas primarily the institution of the federative system, which favored the state oligarchies. In order to avoid a setback to the monarchy, the São Paulo state supported the government of Floriano Peixoto, by approving in the National Congress the acts of the executive power, which was fundamental to the marshal choking the revolts caused by different groups vying for power after proclamation of the Republic. PRP's support was not restricted only to the actions of its members in the chambers of Congress, in 1891/1892, when it was called extraordinary. In 1893, during the Federalist Revolt, and with the enactment of state law nº 120 of 15 March, the aid of São Paulo extended the deployment of capital, arms and men, to Rio de Janeiro, in defense of government, against the Naval Revolt (1893/1894). The support was also extended to the republican press of São Paulo, by O Estado de S. Paulo
