scholarly journals Sixth letter on voltaic combinations, addressed to Michael Faraday, Esq., D. C. L., F. R. S., Fullerian Professor of Chemistry in the Royal Institution of Great Britain, &c., by John Frederic Daniell, Esq., Foreign Sec. R. S., Professor of Chemistry in King’s College, London

The purport of this letter is to follow the consequences of the law of Ohm, and the expressions which result from it, relative to the electromotive force, and to the resistances in the course of a voltaic circuit; to apply this theory to the verification of the conclusions which the author had formerly deduced from his experiments; and to suggest additional experiments tending to remove some obsculities and ambiguities which existed in his former communications. In following out these principles, the author is led to offer various practical remarks on the different forms of voltaic batteries which have been proposed with a view either to the advancement of our theoretical knowledge of the science, or to the service of the arts. The author enters more particularly into an explanation of the principles on which the cylindric arrangement of the battery he has introduced is founded, which appear to him to have been greatly misunderstood. The formulæ and the calculations which form the body of this paper are not of a nature to admit of being reported in the present abstract.

This article is a supplement to Barry Cooper's catalogue of 1978 (see below, References). No musical items published before 1801 have entered Aberdeen Public Library since 1979. Of the four Aberdeen University collections mentioned below, Dep is in the library of the Department of Music, while SB and Lib R are in King's College Library. In the course of his original introduction, Barry Cooper mentioned the University's “copyright collection” (p.4), and the inadequacy of its catalogue. Richard Turbet is compiling a checklist of the contents of this collection's 297 volumes, now located within Aberdeen University Library and known as The Stationers’ Hall Collection. As to private collections, Roger Williams has catalogued those in Grampian Region in the care of the National Trust for Scotland, and the catalogues are being prepared for publication. There is early music in the collections at Castle Fraser, Drum Castle, Leith Hall and Brodie Castle. The Montcoffer House private collection, listed in Appendix 3 of the original catalogue, is now housed at Aberdeen University Library MS 2861.

The Law

Had Massachusetts legislators been aware of how many mixed marriages existed in their state (and in their region, for that matter), they may not have repealed the law. In their own lives they may have encountered or heard of a couple with mixed ancestry, but that would have been rare. Their experience reinforced the idea that people of African descent and people of European descent preferred to live among their "kind." Even if they didn't find each other physically repugnant, they still had no desire to intermarry. But observations and hearsay did not match reality. During the antebellum period there were at least 410 mixed marriages in New England, scattered through no fewer than 209 cities, towns, and villages. They occurred in all parts of the region and had distinctive characteristics. Their existence substantiated the fluidity of the construction of race (as evidenced in public records) and showed the complexity of New England types of racism and even its absence.

The Republic

The „Law on Archives" (2008) and corresponding bylaws regulate issues related to managing records of their custodians/creators and the Archives of the Republic of Srpska, but the conditions that custodians/creators must fulfill in order to be classified into one of the categories are not precisely defined. The obligations of custodians/creators of records should depend on the category into which the creator of records is categorized. Two years after the „Law on Archives" was published, the "Rules on the conditions and methods of transferring public archival material between the creators and the Archives of the Republic of Srpska" mention creators of category I, II and III, and the "Rules on the categorization of archival fonds" specify conditions that creators must fulfill to be categorized to category I. Six years after these two Rules were published (2010), the appraisal of creators of the first category was done. The first category relates to creators which create archival records of importance for history and other sciences, for culture in general and also for other social needs of the State. The Archives of the Republic of Srpska has made the appraisal of public records creators as bearers of certain functions within their activities. The paper presents the process, goals and significance of categorisation/appraisal of creators from the experiences of the Archives of the Republic of Srpska.

This concluding chapter explores several types of nonlaw resources for legal history research. Since the law defines the relationships that people have with the state and, frequently, with each other, it is intimately related to many other areas of scholarship and inquiry. Legal researchers will often have to expand their research beyond the law and delve into politics, sociology, economics, psychology, current or historical events, and many other areas. The list of nonlaw resources offered in the chapter is not exhaustive but includes the most important and frequently used sources: newspapers; periodical literature, monographs and dissertations; statistical resources; and public records. There are many guides to research in each of these areas. Indeed, many academic libraries provide topical research guides for free on their websites. For more in-depth guidance, researchers should use library catalogs.

Jean Rhys (1890-1979) and Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) were born within two years of each other in what were then British colonies under the New Imperialism. Rhys’s relative longevity and the fact that her first publication, the story ‘Vienne’ appeared in 1924 have obscured their contemporaneousness. Both wrote about failed love and affairs in England, Rhys in diaries she wrote in the 1910s, which would be reworked as ‘Triple Sec’, an unpublished 1924 novel, and revised as Voyage in the Dark (1934), and Mansfield in the manuscript stories ‘Juliet’ (begun in 1906) and ‘A Little Episode’ (1909), recently unearthed in the King’s College Library. The epigragh to ‘A Little Episode’ is from Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray; Rhys alludes to the same two sentences in the opening sentence of Voyage in the Dark. This chapter draws out the resonances of their allusions to Wilde, and locates the texts as engagements with literary decadence.
