The problem investigated in this paper is the unlikely friendship of Swift and Bolingbroke. The purpose is to assess the reaction of Swift to the ethics of Bolingbroke. Under examination are the conflicting opinions of these men in regard to morals, money, and ethics. Chapter I contains immoral actions of Bolingbroke. Chapter II shows Swift's manner of life and his reaction to Bolingbroke's immorality. Chapter III gives Swift's attitude to money, Bolingbroke's attitude, and Swift's reaction to Bolingbroke's opinion. Chapter IV contains Bolingbroke's ethical philosophy. And Chapter V reveals Swift's religious views and his reaction to Bolingbroke's ethics. The conclusion is that Swift disapproved of Bolingbroke's ethics, but did not break with him on account of them.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o pensamento econômico de José da Silva Lisboa, Visconde de Cairú, bem como sua relação com os acontecimentos que eclodiram por ocasião da chegada da Família Real ao Brasil, a saber a abertura dos portos brasileiros ao comércio franco e o fim da proibição do estabelecimento de fábricas e manufaturas no país. Procura reconstruir, através da análise da vida e escritos de Cairú e da produção historiográfica pertinente, a conjuntura relativa a estes dois acontecimentos. / The present research aims to exam José da Silva Lisboas and Visconde de Cairús economic way of thinking, as well as its relation with happenings caused by the arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family to Brazil: the opening of brazilian harbours to french trade and the end of prohibition to factory settlements and manufacturing industry at this country. It also aims to reconstruct through writings, life analysis and pertinent historiography productions the conjuncture related to these two events.

Spenser Walpole in beginning his life of Lord Russell says that it is the common practice of biographers to anticipate the story of their hero's life by tracing the achievements of his immediate ancestors; and this custom which is perhaps justified by the increasing attention which thoughtful men are paying to the modern doctrine of heredity may at first sight seem peculiarly applicable to the present memoir, for if the qualities of a man be really derived from his forefathers, the eminence of Lord John Russell may be traced to circumstances antecedant to his birth. So the writer believes it to be a necessary complement in tracing Lord Palmerston's attitude during the American Civil War to trace also the antecedants of that policy and so perhaps anticipate the subsequent attitude. It is with this belief that he has essayed in this thesis to go behind the diplomatic relations during the American Civil War and determine whether there was any evidence previous which would tend to explain his subsequent attitude. Accordingly any event which throws light on his actions has been given due consideration.

This thesis examines the sources and method used by Sir James Dalrymple, 1st Viscount Stair, when writing and revising his seminal work, the Institutions of the Law of Scotland (1681). In doing so, it focuses particularly on Stair’s titles on the law of obligations. The thesis shows how Stair used learned authority and continental legal treatises. It demonstrates that Stair relied particularly upon Hugo Grotius’ De jure belli ac pacis (1625), Petrus Gudelinus’ De jure novissimo (1620), and Arnoldus Vinnius’ Commentarius academicus et forensis (1642), and, to a lesser extent, Vinnius’ Jurisprudentia contracta (1624-1631) and Arnoldus Corvinus’ Digesta per aphorismos (1642). It establishes when, in the process of writing and later revising the Institutions, Stair first used and when he returned to these continental legal treatises. It explains Stair’s pattern of borrowing from these treatises, and shows how his method and pattern of borrowing changed as he revised the Institutions. It establishes Stair’s purpose in consulting each of these works and how he was influenced by them. Overall, the thesis explains Stair’s method of writing and his use of sources and authorities, places his work in the context of continental jurisprudence, and thus significantly enhances current understanding of Stair’s Institutions.
