Catholicism in Argentina as Viewed by Early Nineteenth-Century British Travelers

British interest in the region of the River Plate developed relatively early, but, due to Spain's monopolistic trade policies regarding her American possessions, few Englishmen were allowed to visit that area during the colonial period. It was not until after 1810, with the declaration of independence of Argentina, that trade barriers were lifted, and countless Englishmen sailed to the port of Buenos Aires with adventure and profit in mind. This little known part of the globe attracted the most diverse personalities—unemployed soldiers, tradesmen, mining engineers, scientists, missionaries, diplomats, and just plain adventurers. The great majority seemed to have one characteristic in common, however—the English mania for keeping extensive diaries and journals.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF A MODERN CASTLE-TOWN

In the latter part of the modern castle-town (Zyoka-machi) there was a great change from the feudal society to the economic one. This means loosening and dissolution of an urban organization in the feudal society. With the advent of the 18 th century, the nature of the castle-town as a feudal town became clear. Retainers and merchants lived together, and part of “Samurai-machi” began to function like “Chonin-machi.” Thus the castle-town composed of “Samurai-machi” and “Chonin-machi” began to crumble down, and the monopolistic trade system was replaced by a free trade system, and the castle-town was gradually turned into an economic town. The abolition of the special rights changed the nature of the feudal town-center and resulted in its transference, and the new town-center has become the center of the present-day city. The change in the character of the feudal town meant the modernization of the castle-town and prepared the way for the development of the so-called lord-town into a citizen-town. In this process the regional difference between north-eastern Japan and south-western Japan becomes a problem, which has still many points to be solved.

Buenos Aires as Seen by British Travelers, 1810–1860

Until the unsuccessful British invasion of Argentina in 1806-1807, Buenos Aires had been, for the non-Spanish peoples of the world, a mysterious, strange, unknown city, thousands of miles across the ocean. Except for a shipwrecked sailor or two, few Englishmen had had the opportunity of seeing that old colonial city prior to that time. Due to Spain's monopolistic trade policies with respect to her American possessions, trade with the New World, and even the right to reside there, except for a relatively brief period under Charles V, had been reserved for the subjects of the Spanish Crown.
