  The Balkans: Everyday Life and Culture

  Ema Miljković

  In the series of the monographs under the title “The Balkans” (publisher Livre de Lyon, Lyon, France), one volume has been dedicated to the everyday life and culture. This volume consists of four chapters examining the various phenomena in everyday life in the Balkans during the Ottoman era or phenomena still existing in the modern Balkan societies, as a result of the Oriental - Ottoman heritage in this region. This book presents one big step forward in research of the everyday life in the Ottoman Empire and especially the Balkans, since this is still one of the less elaborated and at the same time very important topics of the Balkan and Ottoman history, as well.

  The Balkans: A View of Demography and Economics History

  Marijan Premović

  Not only military and political power, but also social and economic innovations came to the Balkans with Ottoman Empire. The immigration of Turkish people from Anatolia into the conquered lands was one of the Ottoman Empire strategies in the Balkans.

The developments in 18th century caused social and economics dislocation in the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire in several ways.

  An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecturein England

  Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin

  It would be most unnatural and ungrateful in me, when putting forth a Treatise relating to the Revival of Christian Architecture in England, were I not to dedicated the same in an especial manner to pour Lordship, who has been the main support in the furtherance of that good work, and to whom I am so greatly bounden.

  Architecture Under Nationalism

  John Pickering Putnam

  Nationalism may be defined as the substitution of universal coöperation and education for industrial and social welfare. It is a continuation of the evolutionary force which has raised man from the lower to the highest form of terrestrial beings. It is so strictly logical and practical in all its aspects; so impartical in its benefits to all classes; has already crept so deeply into the minds and hearts of thinking people in both continents, and has made such remarkable progress of late, in this country, especially on the Pacific coast, in arousing the people to definite action with a view to hastening its practical introduction, that we are forced to believe the present generation will see a great change in the social organism due to its influence.

  Some Turns of Thought in Modern Philosophy: Five Essays

  George Santayana

  A good portrait of Locke would require an elaborate background. His is not a figure to stand statuesquely in a void: the pose might not seem grand enough for bronze or marble. Rather he should be painted in the manner of the Dutch masters, in a sunny interior, scrupulously furnished with all the implements of domestic comfort and philosophic enquiry: the Holy Bible open majestically before him, and beside it that other revelation--the terrestrial globe. His hand might be pointing to a microscope set for examining the internal constitution of a beetle: but for the moment his eye should be seen wandering through the open window, to admire the blessings of thrift and liberty manifest in the people so worthily busy in the market-place, wrong as many a monkish notion might be that still troubled their poor heads. From them his enlarged thoughts would easily pass to the stout carved ships in the river beyond, intrepidly setting sail for the Indies, or for savage America.

  Nationalism and The Balkans

  Abidin Temizer

  Unlike the French liberal nationalism model that was distant to religion and came before it, the conservative German nationalism model, which was defined by Hans Kohn in the 1950s and 60s, and examined in detail later by Elia Kedouri and Liah Greenfeld became a concept of nationalism that was accepted especially in the Balkans by bringing together the concepts of religion and nation. The German national state model, which became more prominent in the late 19th century, was modeled in many countries, especially in Balkan countries such as Greece, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria. However, the disadvantage of Nikola I was the demographic structure of his country.

  Slavery: What it was, what it has done, what it intends to do - Speech of Hon. Cydnor B. Tompkins, of Ohio

  Cydnor Bailey Tompkins

  The charge is frequently made, that nothing but slavery occupies the attention of the National Legislature. That this charge is true to a great extent, that this subject is constantly kept before the country, and that there is constant excitement about it, is not the fault of the Republican party. In the first hour of the present session of Congress, it was thrust upon the House by a member of the slavery party; for two months a discussion was continued upon that subject, and almost exclusively by that party--a discussion unparalleled in point of violence and virulence in the history of Parliamentary debate.

  Décadence de l'Architecture à la Fin du Dix-Huitieme Siecle

  Charles-François Viel

  Les principes de l’ordonnance des bâtimens que j’ai publiés, ont exigé que je leur donnaśse tous les développèmens prescrits par le sujet lui-même, afin de fixer le jugement des élèves et des amateurs, sur l’essence de l’architecture. Car , de même que le phâre indique un port salutaire aux navigateurs, de même, les principes des arts dirigent ceux qui les cultivent, vers leur but.

  Centennial History of Indiana

  Aleck Davis

  The Centennial History is designed to be a plain, truthful, delineation of important events in Indiana. It is arranged so that the shop-keeper, in his leisure moments between sales of shirtwaists and prunes, and the farmer, during the noon hours and on rainy afternoons, may glean the history of their native state, free from the frills, embellishments and biased opinions of the larger chronicles. All such superfluous matters as Indian massacres, detailed political battles and biographies of big guns have been eliminated. Nobody’s picture, or his own recollection of the great things

  Hellenistic Architecture in Syria

  S. Butler Murray

  The purpose of this thesis is to show that the architecture of Syria up to the end of the third century A.D. was Hellenistic. In general only dated monuments have been considered, or those whose period can be determined with certainty. With these restrictions, all the monuments of Northern Centital Syria and of the Djebel Hauran, showing details of any importance, have been considered. Baalbec, as being in process of publica­tion, has been omitted except for occasional reference. South of the Hauran only the ruins at Arak ii-Emir have been in­cluded, with those of Djerash and Amman for reference. Monuments published by Mr. H. C. Butler since April, 1912, are not included.

  Details of Elizabethan Arictecture

  Henry Shaw

  Elizabethan Architecture has established well-founded claims to public notice, and it is no longer necessary to apologize for a zealous attachment to the pursuit of its characteristic features: it has survived the prejudices which at first embarrassed its revival; and the style, with all its exuberance and variety of detail, has been adopted with success in the designs of several considerable mansions recently erected

  A Sketch of Lebanon Springs

  Daniel Gale

  Its healthfulness, also, is proverbial, conducive of which is the pure Mountain air, the Mineral Spring, beautiful drives, Hunting and Fishing, and the usual variety of local amusements. Before the Revolution, the efficacy of the water began to excite great interest, and many families from different cities have become so much attached to the place that they have made it their summer home for more than twenty consecutive years. The hill-slopes which guard the valley present eligible sites for cottages.

  The Administrative History of The British Dependencies in The Further East

  Henry Morse Stephens

  The striking diversity of Great Britain’s administration of her various dependencies in the Malay Peninsula and around the China Sea is due to the history of their establishment and growth. Thrown in comparatively close proximity, can be seen four distinct methods of governing Asiatic possessions.

  The Romance of Mississippi Valley History

  Reuben Gold Thwaites

  We may as well acknowledge that only the few read history as a recreation. To the world at large, the picture of the Past will always be dim, save as illumined by the masters of romance. Their presentation is often false in portraiture, incident, perspective — facts being more or less distorted to suit the whim of the artist; but, although lacking in accuracy, their tableaux are popularly accepted as true, and so vividly painted are they that historians seek in vain to correct them.
