During the War of the First Coalition, the Army of the Sambre and Meuse, commanded by Jean-Baptiste Jourdan, played the decisive role against Coalition forces in the Low Countries. Created in June 1794, the army defeated the Allies at the battle of Second Fleurus on 26 June 1794 and commenced the Coalition’s retreat to the Rhine River. At the end of the year, Jourdan led the army to winter quarters along the left bank of the Rhine and achieved France’s historically momentous “natural frontier.” Despite its historical significance, the Army of the Sambre and Meuse has suffered from scant historical attention. Based largely on archival research, this thesis provides a detailed examination of the army’s performance during the Fleurus campaign. In addition, this thesis pursues several broader themes. A detailed study of the Sambre and Meuse Army provides insight into institutional military change during the late eighteenth century. While historians traditionally argue that the French Revolution inaugurated an attendant “revolution in military affairs,” this thesis presents evidence of evolutionary changes and continuities. Another important theme is the question of the combat effectiveness of French field armies during the Revolutionary epoch. Although historians typically present the French armies as unique and superior to their Old Regime opponents, this thesis demonstrates the effective parity between the armies of Revolutionary France and the Old Regime on the battlefield.

A travers l’exemple de Saint-Mihiel, située dans le département de la Meuse, notre étude a pour objet de montrer comment le fait d’être une ville-frontière a, au XIXème siècle, façonné son évolution politique, économique, religieuse et culturelle. Ancienne capitale du Barrois non mouvant, puis chef-lieu de bailliage du duché de Lorraine, enclavée entre la France et Saint-Empire romain germanique, devenue française en 1766, elle connaît, de par son histoire, l’ouverture et la fragilité de sa situation géographique. Ouverte sur les idées, elle a fait de l’éducation son socle et porte une forte empreinte culturelle et religieuse. Ancienne « ville-couvent » jusqu’en 1790, toujours imprégnée par le catholicisme, elle favorise l’intégration d’une importante communauté juive et porte un intérêt constant à la franc-maçonnerie. Saint-Mihiel est aussi fragilisée par sa situation de « ville-frontière » qui la soumet aux passages de troupes et occupations. Entre 1792 et 1914, elle subit quatre occupations, celle de 1792, celle de 1814, celle de 1815 à 1818 et celle de 1870 à 1873, avant celle de 1914 à 1918. Ouverte et fragile, la société sammielloise est constamment à la recherche d’un équilibre. Favorable aux Révolutions de 1789, 1830 et 1848, républicaine, elle est aussi respectueuse de l’ordre et des lois et reste attachée au modérantisme qui caractérise les notables qui siègent au sein des institutions locales et départementales. Lorraine, devenue française à part entière avec la Révolution de 1789, la société sammielloise est, avant tout, une société patriote marquée par une présence militaire qui fait de Saint-Mihiel une ville de garnison. Son patriotisme et son modérantisme assure sa cohésion. Elle trouve son incarnation, à la fin du XIXème siècle, en Raymond Poincaré, qui a été député de sa circonscription de 1889 à 1903. / Through the example of Saint-Mihiel, located in the Department of Meuse (French administrative division), our study is designed to show how being a border-town in the 19th century has shaped its political, economic, religious and cultural evolution. Saint-Mihiel used to be the capital of “Barrois non-mouvant” (ie against the influence of the French Kingdom), then was a county-town of bailiwick of Lorraine Dukedom, enclosed between France and the Holy Roman Germanic Empire, and finally became French in 1766. Throughout its history, Saint-Mihiel is a witness of the opening and the fragility of its geographical situation. Education is its main concern such as religion and culture. Until 1790, Saint-Mihiel is a “convent-town”, still imbued with Catholicism; it promotes the integration of an important Jewish community and takes a constant interest in Freemasonry. Saint-Mihiel is also weakened by its “border-town” situation which submits it to the passages of troops and occupations. Between 1792 and 1914, it undergoes four occupations, in 1792, in 1814, from 1815 to 1818 and from 1870 to 1873, before the one from 1914 to 1918. Open and fragile, the Saint-Mihiel society is constantly seeking a balance. Favorably disposed towards the 1789, 1830, 1848 Revolutions, and as being republican, it is also respectful of laws and order and remains attached to the moderantism that characterizes the notables who sit on local and departmental institutions. Being a part of Lorraine, and totally French since the 1789 Revolution, the Saint-Mihiel society is, above all, a patriotic society marked by a military presence which turns Saint-Mihiel into a garrison town. Its patriotism and moderantism ensure its cohesion. In the end of the XIXth century, Saint-Mihiel is embodied by Raymond Poincaré who was deputy in his “circonscription” (French district) from 1889 to 1903.

Palaeoecological and sedimentological analysis has been applied in the study of Lower Carboniferous Waulsortian 'reefs' exposed in the Manifold Valley, North Staffordshire and in the Meuse Vallley in southern Belgium. Because Waulsortian 'reefs' have similar faunal, lithological and palaeogeographical characteristics in all of their occurrences it is argued that conclusions drawn from the Manifold and Meuse Valleys are applicable to the facies as a whole. Evidence is presented to show that lithological facies previously recognised within the Belgian Waulsortian can also be recognised elsewhere, and that changing sedimentation rates can explain many of their characteristic differences. Faunal and seimentological evidence indicates that the rate of sedimentation increased as the mounds developed. It is argued that the mound sediment was produced in situ and faunal data suggests that the surface of the mounds was firm. Early submarine lithification is thought to have been an important process in producing firm substrates and in maintaining steep depositional slopes. Fabrics and lithological components suggestive of early lithification have been recognised. A general model for Waulsortian development, based on conclusions drawn in this thesis, is presented.
