Ancien Régime

If few historians of the French ancien régime and Revolution entirely ignore the role of the Church, most treat it perfunctorily and many make crass errors in writing about it. To start with examples of error, J. F. Bosher declared in his generally admirable The French Revolution: ‘at least nine abbots wrote for the Encyclopédie’. Actually, at least twenty-three abbés did so, but no abbots. J. C. D. Clark, in his recent edition of Burke's Reflections, attempts to explain Burke's discussion of French commendatory abbots by defining commendam as it was used in England, which makes Burke's argument incomprehensible. Until now it has not been easy to find a work, at any rate in English, which would settle such matters authoritatively. McManners's Church and society in eighteenth-century France will certainly do that. A delightful chapter deals with the vast majority of abbés who were not abbots, that is, those who had taken the very first steps towards an ecclesiastical career, probably to enhance their educational prospects, but never taken vows or significant orders. To this group belonged such notorious philosophes as the abbé Diderot and the abbé Raynal.

The worship of the people of the Javanese Christian Church cannot be separated from the liturgy. The liturgy gives an introduction, views, and attitudes of the Christian faith to the Javanese Christian Church amid its existence. Throughout the history of the MPD liturgies, the I, II, III, and lectionary variations of the I and II liturgical models have been developed. The process of birth and development of the GKJ liturgy are important elements of research to find an explanation, why GKJ people still have a distance from the realities of life that exist in society. The results found in this study indicate that the GKJ liturgy that has been built has not been placed on the reality of the struggle and hopes of the people amid community and cultural life. The current GKJ's view of the liturgy has a similar meaning to the religious rituals of the people that shape the identity of the people, but there is no critical step capability to build up their worship with praxis so that it can be lived in and have an impact on the lives of the people and the community. Abstrak Peribadahan umat Gereja Kristen Jawa tidak bisa dilepaskan dari liturgi. Liturgi memberikan pengenalan, pandangan, serta sikap iman Kristen kepada umat Gereja Kristen Jawa di tengah keberadaannya. Sepanjang sejarah liturgi GKJ telah dikembangkan model liturgi GKJ formula I, II, III, dan leksionari variasi I dan II. Proses kelahiran dan pengembangan liturgi GKJ merupakan unsur-unsur penting penelitian dalam rangka mencari penjelasan, mengapa umat GKJ masih memiliki jarak dengan kenyataan kehidupan yang ada di tengah masyarakat. Hasil yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa liturgi GKJ yang telah dibangun belum diletakkan pada kenyataan pergumulan dan harapan umat di tengah kehidupan masyarakat dan budayanya. Pandangan GKJ masa kini tentang liturgi memiliki persamaan makna dengan ritual keagamaan masyarakat yang membentuk jatidiri umat, tetapi belum ada kemampuan langkah kritis konkrit untuk membangun tata peribadahannya dengan praksis sehigga dapat dihayati dan memberikan dampak bagi kehidupan umat maupun masyarakatnya.

Few periods of Irish history have been more extensively written about than the later eighteenth century: a mere list of books and papers dealing with the Volunteer movement, ‘Grattan's parliament’, the insurrection of 1798 and the legislative union of 1800 would make up a moderate-sized volume. Most of these writings are concerned, directly or indirectly, with the constitutional relationship between Ireland and Great Britain. Indeed, it might be said that this relationship is the basic theme in the Irish history of the period, even for social and economic historians; and the pattern is so well-established that it may well seem rash to assume that it can be substantially modified, or even made significantly clearer, except, perhaps, by the production of new and hitherto unsuspected evidence. Yet there is something to be said for looking again at the whole subject on the basis of our existing knowledge, not simply, as Irish historians are inclined to do, from the standpoint of Ireland, nor yet as if events in Ireland were a mere appendage to British history, but rather, as Professor Butterfield has done for one brief period in his George III, Lord North and the people, to consider Anglo-Irish constitutional relations during the late eighteenth century as part of the general political history of the British Isles.

The Norman conquest, when William, Duke of Normandy, in the year 1066, landed in this country with a number of his chosen followers, and after killing King Harold in battle, and routing his army, established here the Norman sway, and introduced new laws and customs and manners, is one of those leading events in the history of this country by which the most important results upon its whole career, and more especially the cause of its civilization, were produced. True it is that the bulk of the people remained, and many of their institutions continued unchanged. But a great deal that was new was engrafted on the old. The native inhabitants were brought into immediate contact with the people of another country, who were not only more powerful than themselves, but who possessed different habits and pursuits and modes of thought, and who varied from them essentially in character and disposition; besides being used to a manner of living entirely varying from what they found here, and who were moreover determined, as the dominant power, to make changes in the government and institutions of the kingdom. Civilization was thus advanced by the coming in contact of the people of the two countries, and by the superior cultivation possessed by the Normans; and a very great stimulus was given to art, commerce, and national enterprise of every description. Hence, although I do not intend to give an account of the battles and political contests which occurred during their early career in this country, yet the Norman conquest is so intimately connected with, and had so important an influence on the habits, pursuits, and general condition of the people in this land, that it is absolutely necessary, in order correctly to become acquainted with the latter, to take a general survey of the former also.
