This is an attempt at presenting a brief account of the administrative history of the dominions of Hyderabad, the time the Asaf Jahi Dynasty was established here to the 1948. Following the Mughal conquest of the Golconda Kingdom in 1687, territorial adjustment and changes were effected and the Kingdom was in corporate as one of the six Mughal provinces of the Deccan as Subah Farkhundabunyad (Hyderabad).

From the death of Lully until the mid-1770s, revivals of old works, edited to conform to contemporary taste, formed a substantial part of the repertory of the Paris Opéra. Examination of the eighteenth-century administrative history of the Opéra shows that the editorial work-modest in scope before 1753 but considerably more extensive after the Guerre des Bouffons -was the responsibility of the inspecteur général from 1713 to 1757 but, as a result of a gradual shift in the administrative structure of the organization, was subsequently carried out by a variety of Opéra officials. The most important editors were André Cardinal Destouches (whose editorial work is evident in a newly-identified musical autograph), François Francoeur, François Rebel, and Pierre Montan Berton.

Central Africa remained botanically unknown to the outside world up to the end of the eighteenth century. This paper provides a historical account of plant explorations in the Luangwa Valley. The first plant specimens were collected in 1897 and the last serious botanical explorations were made in 1993. During this period there have been 58 plant collectors in the Luangwa Valley with peak activity recorded in the 1960s. In 1989 1,348 species of vascular plants were described in the Luangwa Valley. More botanical collecting is needed with a view to finding new plant taxa, and also to provide a satisfactory basis for applied disciplines such as ecology, phytogeography, conservation and environmental impact assessment.

Here I survey a sample of the essays and reviews on the sciences of the long eighteenth century published in this journal since it was founded in 1969. The connecting thread is some historiographic reflections on the role that disciplines—in both the sciences we study and the fields we practice—have played in the development of the history of science over the past half century. I argue that, as far as disciplines are concerned, we now find ourselves a bit closer to a situation described in our studies of the long eighteenth century than we were fifty years ago. This should both favor our understanding of that period and, hopefully, make the historical studies that explore it more relevant to present-day developments and science policy. This essay is part of a special issue entitled “Looking Backward, Looking Forward: HSNS at 50,” edited by Erika Lorraine Milam.
