Extractions: An Alternate Selection of the History Book Club In 1695, John Miller, a clergyman traveling through New York, found it appalling that so many couples lived together without ever being married and that no one viewed "ante-nuptial fornication" as anything scandalous or sinful. Charles Woodmason, an Anglican minister in South Carolina in 1766, described the region as a "stage of debauchery" in which polygamy was "very common," "concubinage general," and "bastardy no disrepute." These depictions of colonial North America's sexual culture sharply contradict the stereotype of Puritanical abstinence that persists in the popular imagination. In Sexual Revolution in Early America , Richard Godbeer boldly overturns conventional wisdom about the sexual values and customs of colonial Americans. His eye-opening historical account spans two centuries and most of British North America, from New England to the Caribbean, exploring the social, political, and legal dynamics that shaped a diverse sexual culture. Drawing on exhaustive research into diaries, letters, and other private papers, as well as legal records and official documents, Godbeer's absorbing narrative uncovers a persistent struggle between the moral authorities and the widespread expression of popular customs and individual urges.

In particular, it will briefly highlight Islamic law as it existed before al-Shafi`i; the historical context of the period of time in which al-Shafi`i lived; the contribution that he made to Islamic law and the effect that his contribution had on the development of jurisprudence afterwards. Law before al-Shafi`i Although the pre-Islamic Arabs did not have a system of jurisprudence as such, they did have a concept of sunnah which was understood to mean the established traditions of the ancient personages influential in the Arab historical memory. The Prophet Muhammad was criticized by his Meccan peers for violating the sunnah The Prophet himself was not a lawyer, but his activities in receiving divine revelation and interpreting that revelation into practical reality became the underlying basis of future Islamic jurisprudence.

The materials document the cultural history of the Andean people before the Spanish conquest; colonial civil administration; the role of the Catholic church in colonial society; the Bourbon reforms, the war of independence; the anarchy of the early republican period and the war of the Confederation Peru-Bolivia. On the history of the Andean people before the conquest, the collection includes copies, complete and partial, of various accounts written by chroniclers Juan de Polo de Ondegardo, Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti, Antonio de la Calancha and Fernando de Montesinos. The materials related to the colonial period are numerous and varied, and document the central area of the Peruvian viceroyalty (currently Peru and Bolivia) and its other areas such as Quito, New Granada, Chile and Rio de la Plata. To study the colonial civil administration during the 17th and 18th centuries, the reports written by the viceroys are valuable sources. There are also account books and legal writs which can be used to analyze the economic and political role of the Church in the colonial milieu, in particular the role of the Jesuit and the Mercedarian orders. The Bourbon reforms which took place in the Peruvian viceroyalty are especially well-documented in the numerous royal and vicergal decrees, issued mostly in the second half of the 18th century.

Extractions: by S. A. Reilly Terms Contents Preface Dedication ... Appendix Chapter 13 Consideration and Contract Law: 1558-1600 he Times: 1558-1603 Queen Elizabeth I was intelligent, educated, and wise about human nature. When young, she was a brilliant student. Then, she studied much history, philosophy, and oratory. She wrote in English, Latin, French, and Italian. She read Greek, including the Greek Testament, Greek orators, and Greek dramatists at age seven, when the first professorship of Greek was founded at Cambridge University. Book-learning was one of her highest values throughout her life. She had good judgment in selecting her ministers and advisors for her Privy Council. Like her father and grandfather, she dominated Parliament. Elizabeth cared deeply for the welfare of all citizens of whatever class. She was sensitive to public opinion and wanted to be loved by her people, which she was. She was frugal and diplomatically avoided unnecessary wars, saying that her purse was the pockets of her people. England was a small Protestant nation threatened by the larger Catholic nations of France and Spain. Elizabeth flirted with foreign princes to make them waste their time trying to get England by marrying her instead of by war. Her promotion of commercial speculations diffused a vast increase of wealth among her people. Her good spirits and gayness created a happy mood in the nation. The Elizabethan era was one of general prosperity. Since so many of the women who spent their days spinning were single, unmarried women became known as "spinsters".

Extractions: "FOR PUBLIC OUTDOOR RECREATION USE AND ENJOYMENT" Thus was stated the primary purpose of Assateague Island National Seashore in its 1965 authorizing legislation. In this rather amorphous chapter, encompassing some of the major visitor pursuits and those park functions aimed at serving and regulating them, we touch upon what the seashore is most about. We shall pass over swimming and sunbathing, most popular of all but undemanding of more than routine management supervision, and go to selected activities that have particularly occupied Assateague's administrators. Information/Interpretation The first Park Service facility at the seashore for informing visitors what they might enjoy there was the small geodesic dome in the traffic circle at the Virginia end approach, opened July 3, 1966. A temporary information booth at the Maryland end went into service July 13. The dome remained as a visitor information station through the summer of 1968, when its function was assumed by a larger dome at the Virginia beach (Chapter VI). The booth in Maryland was superseded by the headquarters visitor center, which opened in July 1967. [ Following a joint interpretive planning conference at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in November 1968, the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the National Park Service prepared interpretive prospectuses focusing on their respective Assateague interests. The NPS prospectus, prepared by Supervisory Staff Curator Raymond S. Price of the Harpers Ferry Museum Support Group, was approved in June 1969. "The interpretive program, constructed around the theme of environmental awareness, will develop the dependence of the barrier island and the recreational environment on outside influences," it proclaimed in the idiom of the incipient environmental education movement. The program objectives would be to provide information on recreational resources and activities; to interpret Assateague's natural history, emphasizing man's role in its conservation; and to interpret Assateague's human history, emphasizing man's inability to establish himself permanently on the changing island.

(Posted July 1, 1998; Archived August 15, 1998) Author's Note This article began as a simple analysis of the DOJ action against Microsoft. After a couple of days, I realized two things: a) the DOJ case has no merit, and is not worth more than a page or two, and b) Microsofts role in the world of technology (that is to say "the world") is significant, and needs to be examined carefully, but in the right context. I am not a lawyer, but have determined that lawyers arent required just yet, as the issue is not yet properly framed from social and technological perspectives. It is difficult to ask the right questions and come to the right conclusions when the issues underlying those questions are ill-defined and no one really knows the correct basis for the conclusions.
COLUMBIA. We read in every legal history that the Roman civil law was cast into the PROBLEMS OF ROMAN legal history 539 the close of the eleventh to the close of http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3616/ProblemsRomanLegalHistory.html
Extractions: To attempt to recapitulate within the limits of a single paper the unsolved problems of Roman legal history would be an absurdity. Such an undertaking would make it necessary for us to follow the development of the Roman law from the Twelve Tables to Justinians law books in order to indicate what portions of this millenial movement are still obscure. Even then the survey would be incomplete, since the history of the Roman law neither begins with the Twelve Tables nor ends with Justinian. It begins at that unknown date when Rome began and it has not ended yet. To select a narrower period and to single out what seem the more important problems would be more feasible; but the mere enumeration of difficulties would be neither interesting nor profitable. The best excuse for a paper on the problems of any science is the writers conviction or hope that he may be able to make some contribution towards their solution, if it be only by suggesting unworked lines of investigation which appear to him to promise useful results. It is my belief that for the most important period of Roman legal historythe period in which the ancient Roman law, public and private, reached its highest development, and which extends, roughly speaking, from the middle of the third century before Christ to the middle of the third century after Christthere is a promising method of investigation or line of approach which as yet has been scantily utilized.

Extractions: T his essay focuses on community life in the past and considers issues related to the identification and understanding of historic communities. Let's begin by offering the half-borrowed observation that a community exists in the eye of its beholder. The term "community" means different things to different people. It is defined by each person on the basis of one's individual experiences, inclinations, and needs. As such, communities have been described in political or economic terms. Sometimes, they are identified by building architecture, street plans, or even natural features. But most often, people envision communities in humanistic terms. This essay focuses on communities that are defined by the lives and life stories of their members - the people who live in them. For the humanist, the term community begins with the coming together of people with something in common. We understand it as larger and more diverse than a family or other kinship group; probably more complex than a neighborhood or enclave; yet smaller than a county or country; and certainly less inclusive than the family of mankind. After a population of people with something in common, a community may be further articulated by political or legal constraints or by economic common denominators. Historic communities can be represented by the coming together of people in a relational situation over a period of time. Some communities undergo a series of evolutionary changes with individuals and groups of people coming and going during their sometimes very long life spans. Others do not persist and break up for numbers of reasons. Their people sometimes start over together in another place; as a group, are absorbed by another community; or are scattered to fit in new places as individuals or with kin.

Extractions: Books Magazines Music Maps Out of Print Books British Books British Magazines British Music Keywords: Last April, a brief series of events occurred in a Madison, Wisconsin, restaurant that spoke volumes about the current character of the homosexual rights movement. An employee of the Espresso Royal Cafe asked two women - presumably lesbians - to refrain from passionately kissing as they sat at a window table. Madison's gay community was not amused. The very next day, about 125 homosexual demonstrators showed up on the premises, and conducted a "kiss-in" for several minutes. A spokeswoman for the protesters, Malvene Collins, demanded, "You say gays and lesbians cannot show affection here? Why not here but in every other restaurant in Madison?" The establishment's chastised owner, Donald Hanigan, assured the crowd, "I regret that this incident ever happened. I want all of you to come in here every day." In October, several dozen homosexual males, many of them dressed in women's clothing, openly hugged and kissed in a terminal of Seattle-Tacoma Airport, and handed out condoms and leaflets to travelers. Matt Nagel, spokesman for the Seattle chapter of a new homosexual organization, Queer Nation, seemed to sum up the feeling among militants in the local homosexual community. "We're going to homophobic bars, we're going to pack them, we're going to be openly affectionate, we're going to dance together and make it uncomfortable for all the straight people there."

I trust that your Lordship will in each case consider both the context in which the remarks are made, and also the broader surrounding countryside, if I may put it like that. For thirty years, as I set out earlier, I have found myself subjected to vicious attack by bodies, acting as they freely admit as Jews. For thirty years I endeavoured to turn the other cheek, and I hope I succeeded. Mr Rampton drew attention to the fun I poked at Simon Wiesenthal, a joke made explicitly about his other-than-good looks.173 He called that remark "anti-Semitic". It was not, it was a joke about his looks, of the same genre that Mr Rampton made on Day 28 when he inquired rhetorically of Professor Funke whether a certain outer-fringe Swedish revisionist seen, in one video shown to the Court, with long blonde hair was a man or a woman.174
