Laboratory Adaptation of Life History in Drosophila

Laboratory adaptation is a potential problem for evolutionary genetic studies unless the species in question can be successfully revived from freezing, which is a major advantage of organisms such as the bacterium Escherichia coli, the yeast Sacchoarmyces cerevisiae, and the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. We (Sgro and Partridge 2000) evaluated the effects of two types of standard laboratory culture, population cages and bottles, on the life history of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. To do this, we collected wild flies at the same field site in three successive years, set up replicated population cage and bottle cultures, and assayed life-history traits at the time of collection of the third wild sample. Matos and Avelar (2001, in this issue) object to the conclusion of the study on two grounds: first, the differences in life-history traits of the populations collected in the 3 yr may have occurred because of variation in the wild flies themselves rather than because of adaptation to the laboratory, and second, even if laboratory adaptation does occur, it poses no complication for interpretation of results of evolutionary studies. Drosophila cannot at present be successfully revived from freezing, which is the best method for direct comparison of populations collected at different times (e.g., Lenski and Travisano 1994). An alternative approach would be to assay each population at the time of collection, but variability between assays for these traits in Drosophila is considerable so that all populations to be compared must be assayed contemporaneously. Direct comparison of lifehistory traits of Drosophila populations collected at dif-

Postmodernism, Public Administration, and Political Association: Some Reflections on Fox and Miller

This paper examines Charles Fox and Hugh Miller's Postmodern Public Administration. I argue here that Fox and Miller's argument for a public administration suitable for the postmodern era is surprisingly conventional in that, like orthodox public administration, it assumes a purposive view of political association. This paper argues further that such a view of political association may be problematic given the fragmented nature of postmodern political culture, which Fox and Miller identify, and that an alternative view of the state as a civil association may be more helpful. This being the case, I conclude that both writers and practitioners in public administration might pay more attention to American constitutionalism as an expression of the view of the state as a civil association.

Great Britain's Secret Convict Trade to America, 1783-1784

DURING THE FINAL MONTHS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, the British government decided to reopen the convict trade to its former colonies. Transportation, for many years Britain's favorite punishment for serious crime, had ended when vessels containing felons were refused entry into American ports shortly after the outbreak of fighting at Lexington and Concord. In mid-1783, however, the coalition ministry of Lord Frederick North and Charles Fox, alarmed by a crime wave in London and much of the countryside, resolved to revive transportation, although American opposition to the trade was longstanding and the Treaty of Paris as yet unratified. In response to a proposal from North, George III wrote on July 12, Undoubtedly the Americans cannot expect nor ever will receive any favour from Me, but the permitting them to obtain Men unworthy to remain in this Island I shall certainly consent to. By then, North had enlisted George Moore, a London merchant, whose vessel, the George, was ready within weeks to sail with a cargo of 143 prisoners. Moore was promised five hundred pounds from the English Treasury and whatever profits the convicts fetched as servants.' Historians have known that Moore's cargo was eventually unloaded in Maryland but not the fascinating details that attended this episode. The convicts had to be imported by means of an elaborate hoax and with the secret assistance of one of Maryland's prominent merchants, George Salmon. In the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress is a letterbook kept by Salmon, which contains a remarkable series of letters written to Moore over a period of twelve months, outlining plans for bringing convicts into Maryland. The correspondence is exceptionally frank in describing their efforts to deceive state authorities through a variety of subterfuges. Salmon's letters also reveal that their scheme was a colossal failure, which discouraged the revival of transportation to America and forced Britain to find a new location for much of its criminal population.

The prevention of major leaks—better inspection after construction?

Abstract“On the 26th September (1850) we were able to fix the first column in its place. From this time I took the general management of the building under my charge, and spent my time on the works–feeling that, unless the same person who made the drawings was always present to assign each part to its proper place in the structure, it would have been impossible to finish the building in time for the opening on the 1st of May.”Charles Fox, builder of the Crystal Palace, quoted by L. T. C. Rolt in “Victorian Engineering,” Penguin Books, 1970, p. 153.

The Annual Register (Edmund BURKE ?). Sur la décadence et la renaissance de la Pologne au XVIIIe siècle

The Annual Register (Edmund Burke ?) : on the Decadence and the Renaissance of Poland in the 18th Century. In the 18th century, the current events in Poland had been extensively reviewed in the London Annual Register, which described «into one connected narrative» the most important happenings in different countries of the world. It was initiated in 1758 by Edmund Burke who edited it singlehanded for some years, and then, until his death, «inspired and directed its composition» through his closest friends. For contemporary readers it was a reference book on the immediate past, and for the historians an uninterrupted record of events by writers who reflected the outlook of the time. Burke's apprehension of Poland has proved remarkably accurate; as with India and America, he thoroughly acquainted himself with the historical, political, social, and religious circumstances affecting that country and he clearly studied them for a number of years before he wrote on that subject at length. In the 1760s the chapters on Poland had been rather critical. Poland was presented as a country where the idea of liberty had been carried to the extreme and most injustly distributed, and this led to the anarchy and civil wars, encouraged and provoked by Poland's rapacious neighbours. Before the first partition in 1772, the Annual Register repeatedly affirmed that in Poland the life for individuals had become unbearable, and that they would prefer anything — even a foreign yoke — to the calamities to which they were everyday subject. Subsequently however, the partition was qualified by the Annual Register as a most horrible international crime and «the first great breach in the modern political system of Europe». After having stated in 1769 that «only a miracle» could save Poland, and in 1774 that she was «irretrievably ruined as a state», for nearly two decades the Annual Register stopped writing about that unhappy country. During those years, Burke had made a great political carrier and became world famous as the author of the Reflections on the French Revolution. Out of the three nearly simultaneous revolutions in America, France and Poland, Burke hated the second but admired the third which was, in fact, a practical application of his theory of the state as an organical developing body. In his Appeal of the New Whig to the Old Ones he prized highly the Polish May Constitution of 1791, but his position as a practical politician became rather difficult. When, in 1793, during the debates in the House of Commons, his years-long friend, Charles Fox, suggested that England should assist Poland instead of making war with France, Burke opposed categorically. After prolonged silence, extensive reviews of the events in Poland appeared in the Annual Registers for 1791 and 1795. According to general rule, they were anonymous, but revealed the author's proficiency in Polish affairs and contained some little known details. Unlike the writings of the 1760's, they were not critical, but rather flatterous for Poland, her inhabitants and their monarch. They concluded by general «Reflections» and deplored an event so common in history, as the triumph of the wrong over the right. Who was their author, undoubtedly expressing the opinions of Burke? The Anglo- Saxon scholars, who still labourously study the life and writings of Edmund Burke, confess «that no Burke scholar has yet worked out to his and anyone else's satisfaction the full truth about Burke's involvement with the Annual Register to around 1795»; they consider, however, it «unwise to assume that Burke was responsible for all the writings on Poland up to a date as late as 1795», and are not sure whether «any single sentence was Burke's.» Such an extreme prudence is worthy of admiration. However, several clues show that Edmund Burke wrote, or edited, or inspired, the Polish chapters in the Annual Registers not only in the 1760's but also in the 1790's, and this hypothesis will prevail as long as it will not be positively proved that some other person than Burke was their author.

Tudor Expansion: The Transition from Medieval to Modern History

? fl ?_ OW much the greatest event it is that ever happened in the world! and how much the best! said Charles James Fox of the French Revolution. Charles Fox was a man of notoriously bad judgment-and I am not sure that we historians are not too generous in our estimate of the importance of revolutions. I am not speaking of their value or their merits, where bad is mixed with good, the destructive with the constructive, losses with gains. I am speaking of the importance of revolutions as a factor in history and wondering whether we do not overrate it. I suppose that their chief contribution lies in the release they give to forces in society that have been withheld or restrained-though not all is for the good when the safety valve is blown off. We historians attach much significance to the Puritan Revolution in England, the Revolution of i688, the French, the American, the Russian revolutions-many books, whole libraries, have been written about them. Yet I wonder whether there are not quieter, underlying movements, that attract less spectacular notice-the movements of peoples, the internal movements of population-which are more fundamental and achieve more durable results in the history of mankind. We in the twentieth century lie under the sinister shadow of the Russian Revolution: we are not likely to underestimate it. Yet it may well be that before long we shall come to think of the Russian colonization of Siberia, her expansion into the vast spaces of Northern Asia, as a matter of more solid and insurmountable importance for the world. The fact is that people's attention is arrested by the drama of the revolutionary break in society: they are rather mesmerized by the cross section that is revealed and are apt not to grasp the long process in which revolution is a jolt, a disturbance, sometimes hurrying things up, sometimes obstructing or deflecting the current.
