This work consists of nine essays in the broad field of private international law, some originally delivered as lectures, others written as law journal articles. The author draws on his experience as a Law Commissioner, in European Community negotiations in Brussels, and in providing advice to the government on private international law matters. Where appropriate, the essays include new introductions, examining major developments which have occurred since they were originally written.
In May 1983, in the wake of her victory in the Falklands, Mrs Thatcher won the second of her three general election victories. Liverpool, going not for the first or last time against the grain, elected a Labour council that vowed to be different. In an environment of mass unemployment in which Liverpool felt abandoned by an indifferent government, the council resolved to join others across the land in refusing to set a budget that would hurt the poorest. It was at first wildly popular, but the scene soon became set for a battle between the city and central government that would shape the future of Liverpool. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the 1983 election, Militant Liverpool: A City on the Edge sets out an even-handed assessment of events with oral testimonies from many of the key protagonists. Thirty years on, Liverpool has to some extent reinvented itself as a visitor destination, but it is again facing major spending cuts while its deep seated social problems remain. This book sheds new light on what is for some a dark period in the city’s past, best forgotten, while for others is a memory of the city that refused to lie down and die and a continuing inspiration.

Peter the Great and the Russian Military Campaigns During the Final Years of the Great Northern War, 1719-1721

The study of Peter the Great's reign has occupied a great and often tumultuous place in the fields of Russian and European History. Countless biographies and monographs have been written on the Petrine period, yet much of this work by Western historians has neglected the Russian military campaigns against Sweden during the final years of the Great Northern War (1700-1721). The Russian Military campaigns along Sweden's coast during the years 1719-1721 and their consequences have far too often been relegated to a few brief sentences or explanatory footnotes. Therefore, this study examines the vital impact that the Russian military campaigns of 1719-1721 had in ending the Great Northern War, and Peter the Great's crucial involvement in directing them. The diplomatic and financial role of Great Britain in assisting Sweden in exchange for the territories ceded to George I's Electorate of Hanover, also forms an essential part of this study. The purpose of this work is to provide a more subjective account of these critical campaigns and their consequences, based on both Russian and Western sources.

Five Fur Traders of the Northwest captures the day-to-day life of the fur trader during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries utilizing authentic journals of five fur traders. Peter Pond, a founding partner of the North West Company, makes detailed observations of the region's native peoples. John Macdonell describes with care his first trip over the fur trade route through the Great Lakes and the Minnesota-Ontario border lakes to the region of Lake Winnipeg. Archibald N. McLeod's journal tells of wintering at Fort Alexandria on the Assiniboine River. Hugh Faries writes of life at the North West Company's fort on the Rainy River. Finally, John Sayer records his establishing of a trading post in the St. Croix River country near present-day Pine City, Minnesota. (This diary was originally attributed to Thomas Connor, but research conducted since the 1965 edition has established Sayer as the true author.) These documents offer dramatic, firsthand glimpses of the daily existence of voyageurs and Native Americans and detailed data on canoeing, trading practices, trade goods, and Indigenous customs.

*Includes pictures*Includes a bibliography for further readingThe westward movement of Americans in the 19th century was one of the largest and most consequential migrations in history, and among the paths that blazed west, the most well-known is the Oregon Trail, which was not a single trail but a network of paths that began at one of four "jumping off" points. The eastern section of the Oregon Trail, which followed the Missouri River through Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming, was shared by people traveling along the California, Bozeman, and Mormon Trails. These trails branched off at various points, and the California Trail diverged from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall in southern Idaho. From there, the Oregon Trail moved northward, along the Snake River, then through the Blue Mountains to Fort Walla Walla. From there, travelers would cross the prairie before reaching the Methodist mission at The Dalles, which roughly marked the end of the Trail. The fur industry was by extension the face of every world power pursuing a stake in the West, and the rivalries were ruthless. The Mexican border during this era lay far north of its present position, and the Canadian border was as yet nonexistent, pending the outcome of competing British, American, Russian and Spanish interests. Despite the American outpost established early at the mouth of the Columbia River in what would become Astoria, Britain ruled as the preeminent military power in the region. That authority was evident in the vast Hudson's Bay Company, which imposed its own judicial structure wherever it went, on land or by sea. The Americans responded with rival companies operating out of the Midwest and traveling over Lewis and Clark's original route. Among the most prodigious and influential personalities to emerge from that protracted battle was Peter Skene Ogden, a Canadian fur trader and explorer. As a zealous member of Canada's North West Fur Company, his vicious campaign against Hudson's Bay Company members marked him as one of the most dangerous personalities on the continent, unpredictable and capable of the lowest tactics for unseating the great British power. So talented was Ogden that when the rivals finally merged in the following decade, he rose to the top echelons of his greatest rival's industry. During that period, he traveled the continent in several extensive expeditions, and with the solidification of the American-Canadian border, well to the north of what was originally anticipated, it was Ogden the negotiator who held Russia at bay in the Alaskan country. More than any other individual, Ogden spent years shaping the international dynamics of the beaver fur trade, "continental in reach, and in] rapacious competition for wealth," yet no comprehensive biography has been produced for a man who not only served as a central catalyst for a continent, but did so in such a colorful manner. As a youth, he was known as "a brawling North Wester" who was likely to commit even capital crimes in pursuit of the slightest advantage, and in the end Ogden took his place as one of the "great captains of industry." With his newfound prestige came an apparent softening of his former hatred for the Native Americans, and even claims that he had converted adversarial relationships into productive (if not lasting) friendships. Whether or not such suggestions are true, Ogden eventually traded in his youthful flair for intimidation for the edifice of a wise and irreplaceable man of industry.Peter Skene Ogden: The Controversial Life and Legacy of the Canadian Fur Trader Who Explored the Pacific Northwest looks at the turbulent career of the man who greatly influenced the frontier in the early 19th century. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Ogden like never before.
