Spinal Roots

In the early years of the present century, a group of experiments assessing the results of the surgical repair of peripheral nerves and spinal roots was performed by Basil Kilvington. The outcome of the experiments was assessed using both electrophysiological and morphological techniques. Much of Kilvington’s work remained unrecognized and was thus repeated at a later date. Kilvington’s role in the early history of the surgical repair of nerves appears to have been forgotten and his substantial and prophetic discoveries deserve better recognition.

Two Bodies

Apart from Royal patronage and the manifest concern with aviation, it must seem to many people that there is little in common between the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Royal Aircraft Establishment. Yet research into the lesser known activities of the early RAE has revealed not only a comparable antiquity but also a remarkable similarity in the early history of the two bodies. Both had to fight hard to stay alive, and often continuing existence depended upon a tenuous thread liable to snap at any moment.In its early years the Society was essentially a group of dilettante with all the advantages as well as the disadvantages that this entails.

Chapter 2 Friends and Foes discusses the Crusader States’ closest neighbours in the early years of the twelfth century. On their southern borders the Franks confronted the Egyptian Fatimid Empire and it will be shown here how the the Franks managed to overcome the many attacks launched against them by Fatimid commanders. On their eastern borders, the Franks faced the Turkish city-states of Damascus and Aleppo. This chapter shows how the Turks were never able to unite against the Franks due both to their continued infighting and to the many other threats to their rule. This was an era where the complete collapse of Turkish authority across Syria was a very real possibility, driven by Frankish attacks as well as by many local rebellions. In this environment, mere survival was often the goal steering these Turkish leaders’ policies and it was frequently in their interests to manage the threat posed by the Crusader States by diplomatic means rather than seeking to drive them out of the Near East altogether. Further North, in the wake of the First Crusade, the Armenian lords of Cilicia and Southern Anatolia seized the opportunity to drive back Turkish authority, but they then had to negotiate new relationships for themselves with the Crusader States. These included moments of both conflict and rivalry as well as and friendship and accord. The early history of their interactions is examined in detail.

ABSTRACTThe analysis of a forgotten source sheds light on the early history of the cello in seventeenth-century Naples. The manuscript MS 2-D-13, held in the library of the Montecassino Abbey, dates from around 1699 and contains two unknown cello sonatas by Giovanni Bononcini, together with passacaglias, sonatas for two ‘violas’ and elaborations over antiphons by Gaetano Francone and Rocco Greco, two prominent string performers and teachers in Naples. A study of this remarkable source helps to clarify the nomenclature of the bass violins in use in the city and offers new evidence on the practice of continuo realization at the cello, as well as on the connections with partimento practice. This collection is thus of critical importance for a discussion of the technical achievements and developments of the cello repertory in Naples before the emergence of the celebrated generation of Neapolitan cello virtuosi in the early years of the eighteenth century.

En este artículo se analizan, desde una perspectiva económica, dos momentos importantes en la historia temprana del diario El Siglo, órgano oficial del Partido Comunista de Chile. En primer lugar, se examina la adquisición de una céntrica propiedad en Moneda 716 y el montaje de un eficiente taller de imprenta, en el cual se editó el periódico durante sus primeros años. En segundo lugar, se analiza la venta del inmueble y el desarme y traslado de la maquinaria de imprenta, una vez desatada la persecución anticomunista de Gabriel González Videla. No obstante las circunstancias caóticas que pusieron fin a la primera época del diario, el dinero de la venta de Moneda 716 le  permitió al Partido Comunista adquirir una nueva propiedad, en Lira 363, donde se rearmó el taller de imprenta –renombrado Imprenta Horizonte– y desde donde se comenzó a editar nuevamente El Siglo unos años después.The Communist Party in Chile and the Newspaper Company El Siglo: Notes on Its Origins and DevelopmentAbstractThis article analyzes, from an economic perspective, two important moments in the early history of the newspaper El Siglo, official newspaper of the Communist Party in Chile. It first looks at the acquisition of a centrally-located property at Moneda 716 and the construction of an efficient printing workshop where the newspaper was edited during its early years. In the second place, it analyzes the sale of the property and subsequent disassembly and transfer of the printer machinery once President Gabriel González Videla unleashed his anti-Communist persecution. Notwithstanding the chaotic circumstances that brought the newspaper’s early days to an end, the money from the sale of Moneda 716 allowed the Communist Party to purchase a new property located at Lira 363, where the printing workshop was reassembled –and renamed Imprenta Horizonte– and where El Siglo began to be edited again a few years later.Keywords: Communist Party, newspaper, press, printing

AbstractThe paper covers a period of little more than two years in the early history of the Royal Institution, but it is the period in which the house in Albemarle Street was purchased and Count Rumford devoted all his energies to establishing in it the Institution he had conceived. The house was enlarged and adapted to its new purpose; at first a temporary and later the well-known lecture theatre were built. The first Resident Professor and lecturer in the new theatre was Thomas Garnett, whose brief and unhappy connection with the Royal Institution is recorded.

Point Of Departure

This chapter traces the history of international refugee law, taking the creation of the League of Nations in 1920 as the point of departure. The early years of international refugee law achieved much in the way of internationalizing and institutionalizing the responsibilities of the community of nations in matters of common concern; they began with innate recognition of the basic principle of protection that no one should be sent back to conditions in which they would be at risk of harm. The early history ‘struggled’ thereafter with delimiting the scope and numbers of those who might or should benefit from international action, sometimes for self-interested reasons, or because of the costs, or for political reasons, or because of a felt need to discourage exile as a solution to national problems. Only in 1967 was a refugee definition finally agreed that could be generalized across time and space, and even then it remained limited to those with a well-founded fear of being persecuted for particular reasons. State practice and customary international law had already moved ahead, however, even if the normative framework of response remained patchy.

River Niger

The old Oyo ‘empire’ was the largest and best-known of the Yoruba kingdoms. Located in the savannah below the bend of the river Niger in the Bussa-Jebba region of southwest Nigeria, it achieved prominence during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries but collapsed and disintegrated in the early years of the nineteenth. Its origins and early history are imperfectly known because the traditions dealing with this period are enmeshed in myth and legend. This state of affairs has led one writer to conclude that the history of this period “is beyond meaningful’ enquiry.Two major problems confront anyone attempting to reconstruct early Oyo history. The origins of the kingdom are linked both to the process of the settlement of the Yoruba people in their present location and to that of state formation among them. Furthermore, information about these processes is to be found in traditional accounts that seem to have been fossilized since the publication of Samuel Johnson's The History of the Yorubas in 1921. Indeed, many subsequent ‘traditions’ seem in no small measure to be derived from this work. It is therefore appropriate to begin this paper with a discussion of the influence of Johnson's work, followed by an analysis of Johnson's sources and motives, insofar as these can be determined. In 1901 an Iiebu man found it necessary to make an emphatic declaration on Yoruba history: I deny that Oyo is the capital city of Yoruba land. Ife, the cradle home of the whole Yorubas and the land of the deified Oduduwa, has been recognised by every interior tribe (including Benin and Ketu) for all intents and purposes as the capital city.

The Relationship

The law of criminal libel emerged in the Star Chamber in the early years of the seventeenth century. Particularly important to its later development and historiography was Sir Edward Coke’s report of Pickering’s Case, described by him as the case De libellis famosis. The article reassesses the early history of the law of libel, placing it in the context of earlier statutes dealing with sedition. Close analysis of Coke’s report, and the relationship between his original manuscript and the printed version, reveals that the report should be analysed as a literary text in itself, with changes being introduced by Coke in order to produce a particular model of the law.
