The Swiss Cookbook By Nika Standen Hazelton

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

We have just received this new Swiss cookbook. All the cooking experts we consulted confirm that it is excellent. The recipes are preceded by an introduction in which we learn much about the history and philosophy of Swiss cooking. The traditional Swiss meals were simple, but very carefully prepared and served. The carefulness is an excellent basis: As long as it can be preserved, the Swiss cuisine will keep its good renown, and there is not reason to doubt that this will not be the case. The success of emigrated Swiss cooks all over the world shows us that this …

George Iii In The Pennsylvania Press: A Study In Changing Opinions, 1760-1776, Robert D. Fiala

Wayne State University Dissertations

This study is an attempt to utilize the popular newspaper and pamphlet press to trace the growing estrangement between the monarch and his subjects before July, 1776. At what point did Americans abandon their hope in George III? What factors contributed to their final conclusion that the responsibility for the estrangement of the colonies from the mother country wets the king’s? Because of the vast amount of available material and also because of the widespread reprinting of newspaper articles and pamphlets, the writer has limited his study to the press of one colony, Pennsylvania. He has examined most of the …

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The gentleman to v:hom I am about to allude, although long a resident of this country, has no feelings, no attachments, no sympathies, no principles in common with our people. Near fifty years ago Pennsylvania took him to her bosom, and warmed and cherished and honored him; and how does he manifest his gratitude?

In 1811 Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, was the virtual dictator of Europe, and his word controlled the destiny of men and nations alike.  The only opposition which threatened his rule came from two nations, England and Russia  In 1812 he set out to destroy the larger of these two, Russia.

Sources Of The American And Swiss Constitutions In Ancient Greek Political Thought, Thomas C. Gelzer

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Looking for a suitable subject for the Swiss-American Historical Society within the reach of a classicist, I found the question of the Ancient Greek Sources in the American Constitution. Although not a historian, I thought that would mean treating matters of historical significance as well as of unbroken continuance of the effects of classical thinking. In addition to that the Constitution is one of the living connections which links the mighty United States of America with the tiny Swiss Confederation. But, big or small, both nations have drawn continuously vital forces from the order of life which is shaped by …

Karl Löwith's View Of History: A Humanist Alternative To Historicism, Berthold P. Riesterer

Wayne State University Dissertations

The survival and increasing academic importance of the supra-historical position, particularly as an alternative to existential ontology and English analytical philosophy, indicate that a careful study of this particular trend is in order. The following analysis of the intellectual development of Karl Löwith, a thinker who in the course of his career moved from phenomenology and ontology to historicism and then finally to the supra-historical position, it is hoped, will make a contribution toward such a study.

The Swiss Element In Northern California, Jean Studer

Speak of the History of California and the part played by the Swiss: imnediately you will have one reaction and one name mentioned: Sutter.

Headed by a queen whose primary claim to fame rested with her ability to inspire her people and manage her talented ministers, the island kingdom soon attained the status of a major nation.
