What was a "Jewish" book, one participant asked? What were the different or parallel developments within Jewish society, …

The French Communist Party (PCF) played an instrumental role in giving a voice to a segment of the population that was otherwise poorly represented in democracy. This paper attempts to illustrate the origins of communism in France by drawing on French history to connect a unique and separate branch of thought, beginning with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. From Rousseau's ideals on the evil of private property and his disdain for the rule of law being merely a tool to support the existing ruling class, through the Jacobins of the French Revolution, and continued by the French Socialists of the Nineteenth Century, it …
Religion, Longevity, And Cooperation: The Case Of The Craft Guild, Gary Richardson
Religion, Longevity, And Cooperation: The Case Of The Craft Guild, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
Whenthe mortality rate is high, repeated interaction alonemaynot sustain cooperation, and religion may play an important role in shaping economic institutions. This insight explains why during the fourteenth century, when plagues decimated populations and the church promoted the doctrine of purgatory, guilds that bundled together religious and occupational activities dominated manufacturing and commerce. During the sixteenth century, the disease environment eased, and the Reformation dispelled the doctrine of purgatory, necessitating the development of new methods of organizing industry. The logic underlying this conclusion has implications for the study of institutions, economics, and religion throughout history and in the developing world …
Errands Into The Metropolis: New England Dissidents In Revolutionary London, Jonathan Beecher Field
Errands Into The Metropolis: New England Dissidents In Revolutionary London, Jonathan Beecher Field
Publications
Errands into the Metropolis offers a dramatic new interpretation of the texts and contexts of early New England literature. Jonathan Beecher Field inverts the familiar paradigm of colonization as an errand into the wilderness to demonstrate, instead, that New England was shaped and re-shaped by a series of return trips to a metropolitan London convulsed with political turmoil. In London, dissidents and their more orthodox antagonists contended for colonial power through competing narratives of their experiences in the New World. Dissidents showed a greater willingness to construct their narratives in terms that were legible to a metropolitan reader than did …

Heinrich Handschin: Finally Independent
Heinrich Handschin: Finally Independent
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In the first years Heinrich Handschin lived extremely modestly, spent as little as possible and seemed to work untiringly. Because he lived so frugally, he was able to save several hundred rubles, approximately sfr. 2,300.00, which he then invested in his own enterprise. When Lerch Inc. moved into a new factory on the outskirts of Moscow in 1859, he sold a part of his old building to his manager Handschin. Thus, after Morf and Lerch the property changed into the hands of the third Swiss entrepreneur and was still used for the production of textiles.

The Sick Man’S Last Fight: The Role Of The Ottoman Empire In The First World War, Henry A. Crouse
The Sick Man’S Last Fight: The Role Of The Ottoman Empire In The First World War, Henry A. Crouse
Pell Scholars and Senior Theses
The Great War in 1914 to 1918 destroyed mighty empires, and created nations from their ashes. Both the Allied and Central Powers had been dominated by powerful empires. The Ottoman Empire, established by the Turks was at one point the largest empire in the world. Prior to World War I, it had fallen into decline as its territories were gobbled up by other powers. The world dismissed the Ottoman Empire as “the Sick Man of Europe.” Throughout the Nineteenth Century, the rest of Europe waited for the empire to implode. A few years before war broke out, the Turks had …

The Handschin Foundation is 100 years old. Thanks to this Foundation many young people from the Canton Basel-Landschaft have been receiving scholarships which have made it easier, or even possible, for them to get an education. The founder, the industrialist Heinrich Handschin from Rickenbach, regretted his own lack of formal education throughout his life. Therefore he provided in his last will that "poor, gifted young people from the Canton" were to be helped to complete an education appropriate to their abilities.

Heinrich Handschin: Childhood Places
Heinrich Handschin: Childhood Places
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Heinrich Handschin was born on February 1, 1830, in Rickenbach in the Canton of Basel-Landschaft as the son of Anna Maria Obrist and Johannes Handschin. He was the youngest of four children and grew up in the 'Butcher House' named for the butcher line of the Handschin family from Rickenbach which has many wide-spread branches. Yet for a long time there had been no more butchers in the family, instead there were lacemakers, weavers of silk ribbons, small farmers, day-laborers and farmhands. In the 19th century other family members undertook the difficult journey to America in the hope to find …
Heinrich Handschin: Relief
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The hiring of the young Jakob Wirz proved to be a great success. Under his management the Handschin firm emerged as an extremely profitable large enterprise. The financial statement for the year of 1882 was the best the firm had ever seen, thus Heinrich Handschin gave Wirz a bonus of sfr. 5,000.00 and promoted him to general manager.

Heinrich Handschin: Things Are Looking Up
Swiss American Historical Society Review
A real change did not come until Handschin turned his back on the silk ribbons and in 1863 began to produce ribbons for fire hoses. This cheap ribbon made of the raw material flax finally brought him the long expected commercial upswing. Drabbet (coarse linen) unlike silk or cotton could be bought inexpensively since it was produced in Russia and thus was not subject to tariffs. Low wages and long work hours which guaranteed the best possible use of the machines also contributed to making Moscow an extremely attractive industrial place for Heinrich Handschin.

I was born on July 1, 1925, in Zeglingen; my father was a small farmer and quarry worker. At the end of Bezirksschule[ corresponds to junior high school with a more demanding curriculum than 5th to 8th grade, at that time it was only found in larger towns] I did not see any possibilities for learning a profession. My teacher decided to send me to teachers' college [Lehrerseminar]. This meant great financial burdens and I needed four different scholarships. The result: I learned for money, not for life. Each trimester I had to appear at the Education …

While I was President of the SAHS a few years ago I was contacted by a descendant of the Handschin family who wanted to have an English translation of a brochure which described the life and work of her greatgreat- uncle Heinrich Handschin. He grew up in rather poor circumstances in Rickenbach, in the Canton of Basel-Landschaft, became a weaver, emigrated to Russia and returned as a rich man to Basel. At his death he bequeathed most of his money to his Canton requesting that an educational foundation be set up which would allow poor children of the Canton to …

Heinrich Handschin: A Man Wants To Climb Up
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Barely back in Basel Handschin met Bernhard Lerch (1811-1904), a ribbon manufacturer and Swiss entrepreneur from Moscow, who was looking for a weaving master for his firm. This meeting was to become a fateful tum in Handschin' s development. Bernhard Lerch offered the young and well-qualified Handschin a position, he accepted and in 1856 traveled to Moscow where he was to spend the next 25 years.
