Little Ireland tells the story of one family from County Monaghan in Ireland, who emigrated to Edinburgh in the early nineteenth century and settled in the Old Town, in the Irish ghetto of Little Ireland. It is also the story of the Irish diaspora who settled there, both before and after the Great Famine, whose lives revolved around the church of St. Patrick in the Cowgate and its charismatic priest, Canon Edward Hannan, who founded Hibernian Football Club. It tells of the exiled Irish communitys involvement in the politics of their homeland and their fight for Independence for Ireland through their achievement in having the Freedom of Edinburgh awarded to Charles Stewart Parnell. It also tells of the part played by Little Ireland born James Connolly, one of the executed leaders of the Easter Rising in Dublin, which led, in time, to the formation of the Irish Free State. But most of all, it tells of the joys and sorrows of one family who emigrated to Edinburgh seeking a new life, of their achievements, the tragedies that befell them and how some of them were forced into onward emigration to Canada and America.

Like the children in Mr. Southeys poem, you will want to know first of all why we joined in with France and Russia in the great war against Germany and Austria. Well, the answer in a word isBelgium.Supposing you had solemnly promised to protect a little kitten and afterwards a big dog came and attacked the kitten, would you not keep your promise, and do all you could to help the kitten? Of course you would. Belgium was the kitten, and Germany was the big dog. 2We had faithfully promised to protect the little country of Belgium, and the terrible thing is that Germany had promised too, but she broke her promis

In order to depict social life in England in the eighteenth century I am going to take the career of one of its most remarkable men, though you may be surprised at the choice I have made. For the eighteenth century was an eminently social age and the stage is crowded with figures of men and women of the world. Their letters, their talk, their scandals, their amusements have come down to us in profusion; and it is not difficult for us to imagine ourselves in their midst. You may well ask me why I did not select a really brilliant character to expound the life of this time. I might for example have taken Lord Chesterfield or Horace Walpole, or Boswell, [Pg 2]that most observant of men, or the great character whom he immortalised.

Today, humanitarianism, as a moral imperative to help, is prevalent, especially in the so-called Western world. The public reacts to natural disasters, war, or medical emergencies with a desire to alleviate suffering. But in recent decades historians have begun to critically assess this moral perspective and examine humanitarian organizations, politics, and the motives of humanitarian actors. They highlight how helping people relieve their suffering is just one side to every humanitarian story. Humanitarian actors themselves have their own reasons for helping. Humanitarian aid evolves in a tense dialectic between people in need and the individual agendas of the benevolent saviors. This special issue approaches humanitarianism and humanitarian aid from the perspective of such benevolent saviors and their agendas and covers different moments in history and geographical regions in the 20th century. The papers analyze humanitarianism as a reconstruction mission according to civilizing desires, as an enabling factor for individual professionalization, as a power struggle, and as a tool for domestic and international policymaking.

From its 1703 foundation by Peter the Great in a swampy war zone to its leading role in overthrowing Soviet power and bringing Russia into the twenty-first century, St Petersburg has undergone several transformations.Virtually commanded into existence by Peter the Great, the inherent artifice of St Petersburg has made it one of the worlds most storied cities the stage for political and artistic dreamers. As such, it had a leading role in nineteenth-century cultural life, but with the Russian Revolution of 1917 its glorious history descended into violence and bloodshed. During the Second World War, Leningrad suffered further atrocities in the form of a horrific Nazi siege. Yet it has remained rich in cultural, intellectual and architectural history. It has been home to greats such as Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky and Nijinsky figures who were gifted with great creativity and passion, and who were often dissatisfied with Russian traditions.These characters are explored by the author, together with the beguiling physical appearance of the city canals, bridges, promenades and palaces but the most lively writing hones in on the interplay between power and intellect, reaction and reform. Arthur George brings to life a St Petersburg steeped in a tumult of war, revolution and aesthetics, and shows it rising from the ashes to help lead Russia on the path to modernisation.
