The History of Georgetown County, South Carolina (review)

BOOK REVIEWS69 Cameron, Lincoln's first Secretary of War, said Mrs. Lincoln was "the victim of slander." Dr. Milton H. Shutes, author of Liiwolris Emotional Life, once wrote that "Mary Todd was good for Abraham Lincoln." In her slim volume Mrs. Simmons agrees with both. Arnold Gates Garden City, New York The History of Georgetown County, South Carolina. By George C. Rogers, Jr. (Charleston: University of South Carolina Press, 1970. Pp. xvi, 565. $12.50.) All too often the writing of local history has been left to amateurs— who usually either compile useless data or spend much time in tracing family trees. This splendid volume by Professor Rogers, who teaches at the University of South Carolina, is a happy exception to the generalization . Recognizing that local history can reveal much about a people, thencustoms , habits and mores, Mr. Rogers proceeded with skill and scholarship to tell the story of Georgetown County from its beginnings to the present. And it is a story well worth telling. For Georgetown County— which in its heyday has been termed by some as perhaps the most aristocratic region in the nation—was a section where the myth and legend of the Old South actually existed. The society consisted mainly of a relatively few rich planters, living in plantation splendor, and drawing their wealth mainly from rice produced by thousands of Negro slaves. In 1840, for example, Georgetown produced almost one-half of the total rice crop of the nation. But then came economic disaster. In the years after 1865 the rice industry collapsed, for a variety of reasons. And in the twentieth century many of the former rice plantations were bought by wealthy northerners . And so, in the words of the author, "In the years after 1900 the rich Yankees came to seek what their fathers had destroyed" (p. 489). In short, this is a superb example of local history and what it might teach us about ourselves. Its only flaw—and this is minor—is the absence of a really good and clear map of the county.

Jeremy Taylor and the Great Rebellion: A Study of His Mind and Temper in Controversy

Steps to War: the Scots and Parliament, 1642–1643

The Scottish role in the English Civil War, although generally recognized by historians to be a major one, has never been investigated in depth. Every student of the period knows how the resistance in Scotland to the English prayer book impelled Charles to summon first the Short and then the Long Parliament, thereby setting in motion the events leading to the Great Rebellion. Yet the Scots did more than help to precipitate the conflict: just a year after the actual fighting between the King and his Parliament began, they entered the fray as allies of the latter and remained active combatants in the first Civil War until its conclusion. Military aid was just one facet of this alliance. Scottish commissioners in London became embroiled in parliamentary politics, influencing positions taken by the two houses, while Scottish ministers stimulated the religious debate which characterized these years and assisted (despite their annoyance with the outcome) in the establishment of a new church government in England. Quite obviously the English Civil War was never exclusively an English matter.The Scots' intervention in their neighbors' affairs is also recognized to have resulted in disaster. Not only did they fail to realize their original ambitions; they were eventually forced to endure the humiliation of a military occupation. How then did Scotland manage to become involved in the upheaval taking place in England? The answer usually given by historians is a simple one: the Scottish Kirk, desiring to export Presbyterianism, worked successfully for an alliance with Parliament as a first step toward making England a Presbyterian nation.

III. Rural Revolt in the Great Rebellion of 1857 in India: A Study of the Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar Districts

In most accounts of the rural uprisings of 1857 the moneylender, whether described as ‘sleek mahajan’ or ‘impassive bania’, is cast as the villain of the piece. It is he who is seen as the principal beneficiary of the landed revolution that occurred in the first half-century of British rule in the North-Western Provinces and gave the non-agricultural classes of the towns a mounting share in the control of land. And his ascendancy is attributed directly to the institutional changes effected by British rule, among the most important of which were the transformation of the immediate revenuecollecting right {malguzari) into a transferable private property; the heavy, inelastic cash assessments; and above all, the forced sale of land rights for arrears of revenue or in satisfaction of debt. ‘The public sale of land’, says Professor Chaudhuri, ‘not merely uprooted the ordinary people from their smallholdings but also destroyed the gentry of the country, and both the orders being victims of British civil law were united in the revolutionary epoch of 1857–8 in a common effort to recover what they had lost.’.

Justinian's Church of St Sophia, Istanbul: Recent Studies of Its Construction and First Partial Reconstruction

The Theodosian church of St Sophia was destroyed on the first day of the great Nika rebellion of January 532. Its destruction provided Justinian with the pretext, at least, to rebuild it in a more durable and more magnificent form and presented his principal architects, Anthemius of Tralles and the elder Isidorus of Miletus, with an almost unprecedented opportunity. This opportunity they seized to the full. By a daring combination of structural forms never before attempted on such a scale, they created an interior whose superb spatial qualities still excite and amaze. A partial collapse in 558, little more than twenty years after the solemn dedication in December 537, showed that they had even been a little too daring and called for a partial reconstruction. But, after this had been completed by the younger Isidorus in 563, the rebuilt church acquired substantially its present form and remained for some 800 years the largest vaulted man-made structure in the world.

Essays in the Economic and Social History of Tudor and Stuart England.

This celebrated collection of essays was first published in 1961 to mark the 80th birthday of the great historian and social reformer R. H. Tawney. The list of contributors contains several of the most English distinguished historians of the post-war period, including Lawrence Stone, Christopher Hill, Joan Thirsk, Gerald Aylmer and Donald Coleman, and many of the essays in this volume have since assumed classic status. The collection opens with F. J. Fisher's celebrated overview of 'Tawney's Century', defined as that period which separates the Dissolution of the Monasteries of the 1530s from the Great Rebellion of the 1640s.

The Formation of the Tocharian Subjunctive

1. A generation or two ago the writers of handbooks of Indo-European comparative grammar were for the most part considerably more definite in their conclusions regarding the form of the parent speech than their successors are today.l This is particularly true with regard to the verbal system. In those days the repertoire of verb categories was based largely on the agreements between Greek and Sanskrit, some of which were indeed striking, and the deviations of the other Indo-European languages were explained as developing out of that skeletal system, or as innovations, or were left without explanation.2 There were, of course, a great many one-man rebellions against this GrecoIndian autocracy, but they had little effect on general opinion until the discovery of Hittite. After the Hittite verb had been analyzed and acquaintance with it became public property, a great many more scholars, raised on the Brugmann system as I was, paused to think; and the longer they thought, the more uncertain they became. The great simplicity of the Hittite system, in spite of all its irregularities, its two conjugations, the mi and the bi, its two simple tense formations, present and preterit, its two moods, indicative and imperative, its loosely constructed and confusingly elaborate medio-passive, could hardly be derived from the formally strict system as depicted by Greek and Sanskrit. Then, to add to the disturbance of time-honored beliefs, another new IndoEuropean language appeared: Tocharian. On the face of it, from a mere survey of Tocharian verbal categories, it did not at first seem so upsetting; for we have here about a usual number of verbal form classes: indicative, subjunctive, optative; present, imperfect, and preterit (in the indicative); active and mediopassive in all moods and tenses. But a closer examination shows, except for a few present-stem formations, very little agreement in form and function with the older preconceived system. Of course Tocharian could not compete with Hittite in the authority of antiquity, since it is a medieval language, chronologically on a par with the earlier Germanic dialects. Yet, in my opinion, if there is one place where Tocharian can make a contribution to our knowledge of IndoEuropean, it is through a study of its verbal system in comparison with those of the other Indo-European languages, not merely with Greek and Sanskrit, but also and especially with other languages of the family to which less authority was granted by Brugmann and his followers in determining the state of the parent speech.

III. English Ideals in French Politics during the Nineteenth Century

The strength of the English ideal in France in the eighteenth century is well known, but its history in the nineteenth is far more obscure. Every reader of Montesquieu and Voltaire knows of their theoretical admiration for England and every student of French history has been told how their disciples were defeated at the Revolution. It is generally believed, nevertheless, that their day came at length with the fall of Napoleon, for then France seemed to follow in England’s footsteps with extraordinary fidelity. It emerged from a revolution and a military dictatorship as England had emerged in 1660 from the great rebellion and the rule of Cromwell; its restoration produced first a cautious king like Charles II and then a more violent one like James II; its glorious revolution of 1830, like that of 1688, ensured the victory of constitutional monarchy. The Jacobites found their counterparts in the legitimist conspirators; Walpole’s system of government by corruption and influence was reproduced by Guizot with his parliaments packed full of civil servants. France now conquered Algeria as England had conquered India: it underwent an Industrial Revolution as England had done, financed to a considerable extent moreover with English capital.

The Continuing War

The Continuing War EDITED BY JAMES I. ROBERTSON, JR. Department of History, Emory University Atlanta, Georgia A native of Danville, Virginia, James I. Robertson, Jr., is currently writing afull-scale historyof the Stonewall Brigade, a sketch of which recently appeared in crvTL WAB msTOBY. In the following, his first contribution to the continuing WAB, of which he has now assumed the regular editorship. Mr. Robertson more than demonstrates his grasp of recent literature on the Civil War and his critical abuity to interpret it meaningfully for our readers . ninety-seven YEABS have elapsed since a christening of carnage guaranteed the future of our nation. Many of the battle-scarred terrains, once witnesses to American's bloodiest struggle, now are clothed in a quietness broken only by the sounds of Nature's family or the wanderings of a growing number of the interested—or the occasional but determined quest of an avid war student for some earth-yielding relic. Yet the serenity ofthe battlefields is misleading; the war lives on with vitality through many pens and presses. The discovery and publication of personal memoirs, the evaluation of campaigns and leaders in the light of modern scholarship, and the reissue of scarce and "classic" narratives, have been and are keeping us increasingly mindful of that ail-American test of union, the Civil War. Two commendable works open the fall season. Richard B. Harwell's The Union Reader begins with the fall of Fort Sumter and closes with the reinvestment of the Stars and Stripes over the crumbled debris of that onceproud stronghold. Like Mr. Harwell's well-received The Confederate Reader this Union counterpart is filled with excerpts from relatively unknown but contemporary works. It "is a work by many hands," writes its compiler. "In every case the writers were eyewitnesses to the most eventful days of American history. . . . The words of those who participated in our Civil War run with blood as well as with ink. In these words, hot from the heart, that the Americans of another day wrote for each other their day remains alive." Collectors of personal memoirs will find here the best cuts 338 Continuing War339 of several rare literary gems. Here is pictured war as only those who saw that war could present it Earl Schenck Miers has written a thoroughly intriguing work, The Great Rebellion, which Worldreleased earlythis month. This," Mr. Miers states, "is a book about the American people and what happened to them during one Christmas week, as a result of a tragic Thursday, and on a Palm Sunday ." Three of the war's most crucial seven-day periods have been recreated : Christmas week, 1860, which heralded the beginning of the Southern Confederacy; the balmy seven days of April, 1861, when Sumter felt the fury of Southern batteries; and the week of Palm Sunday, 1865, when Lee and Grant met at Wilmer McLean's farmhouse and restored Unity to her rightful place beside Freedom. Mr. Miers has sought to recount the struggle that raged in American minds by describing only one per cent of that four-year period. It is a remarkable achievement. Both above-mentioned authors have re-edited civilian accounts from within the Confederacy. Last month the University of Illinois Press released Fitzgerald Ross's Cities and Camps of the Confederates States, edited by Mr. Harwell. These reminiscences of a keen-sighted Englishman were originally published in installments in Blackwood's Magazine, and were issued in book form in 1865. J. B. Jones's A Rebel War Clerk's Diary was first published in 1866 and reprinted in 1935. Now Mr. Miers has prepared a new and comprehensively annotated edition of these daily entries by a gossipy Pennsylvanian who surveyed the struggle from a Richmond war office. Cemetery Ridge is again alive with action as new studies examine Lee's ill-fated Pennsylvania campaign. Fairfax Downey's The Guns at Gettysburg is a graphic account of the role played there by artillery. The campaign from the Southern standpoint is presented by Clifford Dowdey in Death of a Nation. Bruce Catton has edited a new edition of Frank Haskell 's eyewitness account, The Battle of Gettysburg. (At last report several new copies...
