Returning the corrected copy of his Speech and hoping he "...will be able to understand the alterations, which I have made;" with an autograph letter written in the third person and undated to a Mr. [Thomas] Hansard, saying that if he wishes him "...to correct any Speeches for the remainder of the Parliamentary Debates of the last Session, they must be sent by Post directed as above, and not to Grosvenor Place, for the next six weeks or two months." It is very likely that the letter dated November 16, 1835 was also sent to Thomas Hansard as Hansard was the official printer to Parliament at Westminster.

The Crimean War
Author: Winfried Baumgart
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350083461
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Winfried Baumgart's masterful history of the Crimean War has been expanded and fully updated to reflect advances made in the field since the book's first publication. It convincingly argues that if the war had continued after 1856, the First World War would have taken place 60 years earlier, but that fighting ultimately ceased because diplomacy never lost its control over the use of war as an instrument in power politics. With 19 images, 13 maps and additional tables as well as a brand new chapters on 'the medical services', this expanded and fully-updated 2nd edition explores * The origins and diplomacy of the Crimean War * The war aims and general attitudes of the belligerent powers (Russia, France, and Britain), non-belligerent German powers (Austria and Prussia) and a selected number of neutral powers, including the United States * The characteristics and capabilities of the armies involved * The nature of the fighting itself The Crimean War: 1853-1856 examines the conflict in both its Europe-wide and global contexts, moving beyond the five great European powers to consider the role and importance of smaller states and theatres of war that have otherwise been under-served. To this end, it looks at fighting on the Danube front, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Caucasian battlefield, as well as the White Sea and the Pacific, with final chapters devoted to the Paris peace congress of 1856, the end of the war and its legacy. This book remains the definitive study of one of the most important wars in modern history.

The Crimean War in Imperial Context, 1854-1856
Author: Andrew Rath
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9781137544513
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Crimean War was fought far from its namesake peninsula in Ukraine. Until now, accounts of Britain's and France's naval campaigns against Czarist Russia in the Baltic, White Sea, and Pacific have remained fragmented, minimized, or thinly-referenced. This book considers each campaign from an imperial perspective extending from South America to Finland. Ultimately, this regionally-focused approach reveals that even the smallest Anglo-French naval campaigns in the remote White Sea had significant consequences in fields ranging from medical advances to international maritime law. Considering the perspectives of neutral powers including China, Japan, and Sweden-Norway, allows Rath to examine the Crimean conflict's impact on major historical events ranging from the 'opening' of Tokugawa Japan to Russia's annexation of large swaths of Chinese territory. Complete with customized maps and an extensive reference section, this will become essential reading for a varied audience.
