The Sovereigns and Courts of Europe (Classic Reprint) by Politikos Politikos Pdf

Excerpt from The Sovereigns and Courts of Europe Istory has ceased to be written in the names of kings and princes. Historians have learnt to recognize that it is the people who make history; that the narrative of the world's progress must consist of the story of the march of the nations, not of the biography of one individual, even though that individual be the leader of the same people. Unless the leader be followed, he leadeth in 'vain, and however tyrannical and oppressive the rule of a monarch, experience has proved that the victory rests with 'the majority, even though that victory be slow and delayed. That every people has the government it deserves is a dictum most emphatically true. The new historical method, there fore, strives to present the thoughts, aspirations, and deeds of the nations, and only that portion of the rulers' lives and characters which re ect and in uence these.

Sovereigns and Statesmen of Europe (Classic Reprint) by Princess Catherine Radziwill Pdf

Excerpt from Sovereigns and Statesmen of Europe One has only to remember that the greatest war the world has ever seen was brought about by the will of ruling monarchs, and to observe how sovereigns personally have been leading their peoples in the crises that have arisen since Germany threw the gauntlet in the face of the civilised world, to become convinced of the falsity of such a straining after epigram.

Love Affairs of the Courts of Europe (Classic Reprint) by Thornton Hall Pdf

Excerpt from Love Affairs of the Courts of Europe "It was to a noise like thunder, and close clasped in a soldier's embrace, that Catherine I. made her first appearance in Russian history." History, indeed, contains few chapters more strange, more seemingly impossible, than this which tells the story of the maid-of-all-work - the redarmed, illiterate peasant-girl who, without any dower of beauty or charm, won the idolatry of an Emperor and succeeded him on the greatest throne of Europe. So obscure was Catherine's origin that no records reveal either her true name or the year or place of her birth. All that we know is that she was cradled in some Livonian village, either in Sweden or Poland, about the year 1685, the reputed daughter of a serf-mother and a peasant-father; and that her numerous brothers and sisters were known in later years by the name Skovoroshtchenko or Skov-ronski.

International Tax Aspects of Sovereign Wealth Investors by Richard Snoeij Pdf

An increasing number of States have entered the market looking to invest resources in foreign assets. This emergence of States acting as investors, managing the wealth of a nation and competing in the marketplace with private investors, has attracted growing and wide attention. This book is the first in-depth analysis of the international tax aspects of sovereign wealth investors, and serves as a comprehensive guide to designing tax policy, from a source State perspective, toward inbound sovereign wealth investment. Drawing on a wide range of relevant sources, including international instruments, domestic tax legislation, administrative practice, (international) case law and the writings of highly qualified publicists, the author fully addresses the following aspects of the subject: – the definition, functions, legal form, governance, home State tax status, etc. of sovereign wealth investors; – tax policy considerations and objectives (i.e., neutrality, equity and international attractiveness) from a source State perspective vis-à-vis foreign sovereign wealth investors; and – the potential impact of the sovereign immunity principle, bilateral tax treaties and European (Union) law on source States’ ability to achieve these tax policy objectives in relation to foreign sovereign wealth investors. The conceptual framework developed by the author will greatly assist source States in introducing new tax policy or in evaluating or reconsidering their existing tax policy vis-à-vis foreign sovereign wealth investors. In addition, practitioners, academics and (home States of) sovereign wealth investors will welcome this first authoritative analysis of an important but insufficiently understood subject in international tax.

Imperial Courts of France, England, Russia, Prussia, Sardinia, and Austria by Walter Hilliard Bidwell Pdf

Excerpt from Imperial Courts of France, England, Russia, Prussia, Sardinia, and Austria: Richly Illustrated With Portraits of Imperial Sovereigns and Their Cabinet Ministers The title of this work, imperial courts, is selected in view of the high names and exalted position of those personages of various courts of whom portraits and brief biographical sketches are presented on these pages. An assembly of these personages convened in actual life might appropriately be called a Congress of Sovet eigns, attended by their Ministers of State. Next in interest to such an august gathering on some great State occasion, is a collection of the portraits of men who have acted a distinguished part in the drama of history. And there is a feeling of pleasure in gazing upon the very form and features of those men of great intellectual power who have guided the affairs of State and controlled the destinies of empires. The galleries of Europe and the world are adorned and enriched with statues which almost speak, and with portraits which look out fresh and life like from the canvas. All these are objects of interest wherever they are to be found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Princely Courts of Europe by John Adamson Pdf

In the period between the Renaissance and the French Revolution, the court was paramount in European political and cultural life. It was not only the princes' place of residence, it functioned as the seat of government, the stage for factional and dynastic rivalries, and often as a major source of artistic patronage. Explore twelve of the great European courts. Learn how these households were run, how the architecture of their palaces and gardens was adapted to the routines of courtly life, what role the courts played in the princes' relations with the wider community of the realm, and how magnificence and ritual were deployed to political ends. It's a lavish introduction to a vanished world. 352 pages, 80 color illus., 70 b/w illus., 7 3/4 x 10 1/2. NEW IN PAPERBACK
