Sex and alcohol preoccupied European officers across India throughout the nineteenth century, with high rates of venereal disease and alcohol-related problems holding serious implications for the economic and military performance of the East India Company. These concerns revolved around the European soldiery in India - the costly, but often unruly, 'thin white line' of colonial rule. This book examines the colonial state's approach to these vice-driven health risks. In doing so it throws new light on the emergence of social and imperial mindsets and on the empire, fuelled by fear of the lower orders, sexual deviation, disease and mutiny. An exploration of these mindsets reveals a lesser-explored fact of rule - the fractured nature of the Company state. Further, it shows how the measures employed by the state to deal with these vice-driven health problems had wide-ranging consequences not simply for the army itself but for India and the empire more broadly. By refocusing our attention on to the military core of the colonial state, Wald demonstrates the ways in which army decision-making stretched beyond the cantonment boundary to help define the state's engagement with and understanding of Indian society.Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,2635-1641ImperialismGreat BritainHistorySocial historyScienceHistoryInternational relationsAsiaHistoryImperialism and ColonialismHistory of Britain and IrelandSocial HistoryHistory of ScienceInternational RelationsHistory of South AsiaImperialism.Great BritainHistory.Social history.ScienceHistory.International relations.AsiaHistory.Imperialism and Colonialism.History of Britain and Ireland.Social History.History of Science.International Relations.History of South Asia.954.031Wald Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1791562BOOK9910964963103321Vice in the Barracks4329208UNINA05888nam 2200697 a 450 991097304550332120251117092406.01-61487-827-7(CKB)2670000000275817(EBL)3327299(SSID)ssj0000799283(PQKBManifestationID)11462988(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000799283(PQKBWorkID)10763924(PQKB)11578851(MiAaPQ)EBC3327299(BIP)42679973(BIP)10080584(EXLCZ)99267000000027581720050509d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrVindiciae Gallicae and other writings on the French Revolution /James Mackintosh ; edited with an introduction by Donald Winch1st ed.Indianapolis, Ind.

The success of Mackintosh's defense of the French Revolution propelled him into the heart of London Whig circles. The turn of events in France following the September 1792 Massacres caused Mackintosh, along with other moderate Whigs, to revise his opinions and to move closer to Burke's position."A Discourse on the Law of Nature and Nations" was the introduction to a popular course of public lectures at Lincoln's Inn in 1799 and 1800. These lectures provided Mackintosh with an opportunity to complete the evolution of his political thought by expounding the principles of a Scottish version of the science of natural jurisprudence dealing with "the rights and duties of men and of states," to announce his withdrawal of support for the French Revolution, and to criticize former allies on the radical wing of the reform movement.The Liberty Fund edition also includes Mackintosh's "Letter to William Pitt, " an attack on the prime minister, Pitt the Younger, for going back on his own record as a parliamentary reformer; and "On the State of France in 1815, " his reflections on the nature and causes of the French Revolution.James Mackintosh (1765-1832) was a prominent Scottish Whig politician, a moral philosopher, and a historian of England. He belonged to the group of students that surrounded Dugald Stewart, professor of moral philosophy in Edinburgh, during the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first decade of the nineteenth century. He was a regular writer for the publishing enterprises this group founded and edited, notably the "Edinburgh Review" and the "Encyclopaedia Britannica;" he contributed to the latter his "Dissertation on the Progress of Ethical Philosophy, Chiefly During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries," thereby completing a project begun by Dugald Stewart.Donald Winch is Research Professor in the School of Humanities at the University of Sussex and a Fellow of the British Academy.Knud Haakonssen is Professor of Intellectual History and Director of the Centre for Intellectual History at the University of Sussex, England.Burke, Edmund, -- 1729-1797. -- Reflections on the Revolution in FranceFrance -- History -- Revolution, 1789-1799 -- CausesFrance -- Politics and government -- 1789-1799Regions & Countries - EuropeHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCFranceHILCCFrancePolitics and government1789-1799FranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799CausesBurke, Edmund, -- 1729-1797. -- Reflections on the Revolution in France.France -- History -- Revolution, 1789-1799 -- Causes.France -- Politics and government -- 1789-1799.Regions & Countries - EuropeHistory & ArchaeologyFrance944.04Mackintosh JamesSir,1765-1832.178848Winch Donald466789MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973045503321Vindiciae Gallicae and other writings on the French Revolution4467358UNINA
