This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1855 edition. Excerpt: ... Clavering, General, and Mr. Barwell. In India, 1775. These gentlemen were members of the Council of Bengal, under the administration of Warren Hastings. They fought, because the General said that Mr. Barwell " had taken money in direct contradiction to his solemn oath." Clavijo, Don Joseph Flaxardo, and Beaumarchais. Clavijo loved a sister of Beaumarchais, but forsook her. This desertion caused an affair of honor, which, with the attending circumstances, deprived the former of his employments and the respect of his countrymen, and his life afterwards was passed under a cloud. Clavijo was a Spanish scholar of note, --the translator of Buffon's Natural History into his vernacular, and Vice-Director of the Cabinet of Natural History. Clay, Henry. This eminent statesman fought two duels. He was the challenger in both. The first, in 1808, with Humphrey Marshall, a fellow-member of the Legislature of Kentucky. Mr. Marshall was a gentleman of talents, of high standing, and a Federalist of great influence. He was the constant antagonist of Mr. Clay in debate, and finally indulged in personal remarks so denunciatory and severe, as to draw a message. They met. They exchanged two or three shots, and retired from the field, each slightly wounded. The second, in 1826, on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, near Washington, with John Randolph. Mr. Clay, at this time, was Secretary of State, Mr. Randolph, a Senator in Congress. This duel, like that in 1808, was political. The particular cause will appear in the extract from Mr. Benton's Thirty Years in the Senate, appended to this notice. Never, in my judgment," has the utter, unconditional absurdity and folly of duelling been so perfectly demonstrated, as in the case before us. These two great...

A duel could result from any challenge to a gentleman's honour, from minor insult to major accusation. At a prearranged time, two men at odds would meet, armed either with swords or pistols, to engage in a formal and sometimes fatal exchange. Gentlemen considered it their prerogative to fight, despite the illegality of duelling, and figures as prominent as the Duke of Wellington and Georges Clemenceau defended their honour in this way. Why did participants flout the law, what codes were followed, what were the changing roles of the seconds, and what were the consequences for victims and victors? Stephen Banks answers these questions and examines the evolution from Norman trials-by-combat to the formalised duel, analysing the custom's decline in England by Victorian times and its final disppearance from Europe by the twentieth century.

Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the "aesthetics of contingency." After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining. For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director's death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into—and out of—Stanley Kubrick's cinematic maze.
