• William Henry Harrison

  in September 1813, Harrison recaptured the city of Detroit, which the British had taken in 1812. The following month he overtook the British and Tecumseh's forces onthe Thames River in Canada. He captured the entire British force. Tecumseh was killed, and his forces were routed. Harrison's triumph on the Thames, although won over inferior forces badly placed, was vitally important because the victory secured the Northwest from the threat of aBritish invasion from Canada. It also added considerab...

• droit fiscal general

  L'év olution des concepts en matière de fiscalité est radicale. En effet, les impôts les plus récents (notamment la CSG, contribution sociale généralisée, et la CRDS, contribution au remboursement de la dette sociale) ne sont pas perçus au profit de collectivit és publiques, mais au profit des URSAFF, qui sont des régimes d'entité privées. La frontière est donc de plus en plus floue. §2. Les buts de l'impôt. L'impôt poursuit...

• locke-montesquieu

  I shall leave the question of Montesquieu's influence for another day. My purpose here is to give an account of the argument for religious toleration in the Persian Letters . But before I celebrate the virtues of Montesquieu, I’m afraid I have a few unpleasant things to say about Locke, whose treatment of the subject seems to me to be generally overrated. It’s a common observation that Locke's treatment of toleration is unhappily limited. His subject is "mutual toleration among Christ...

• Shang Dynasty - History.

  The dynastic ancestors belonged to an elaborate religious pantheon that also included various nature powers and the Shang high god, Di. The higher powers were lessconcerned with the well-being of Shang society than the ancestors were. Di, whose wishes were often hard to determine, could even cause the Shang harm. The naturepowers could occasionally influence the wind, rain, and harvests, but only Di could actually order the weather. For an agricultural society such as the Shang, this wasperhaps...

  5 LE XVIII E SIÈCLE : LA PRESSE, CANAL DU POLITIQUE 5. 1 La tentation d’une presse libre Au XVIII e siècle en France, à la différence de l’Angleterre où la presse est déjà engagée dans la lutte politique ( voir quatrième pouvoir), les instruments privilégiés des débats d’idées demeurent le livre et le libelle. L’activité journalistique n’est pas encore considérée comme un métier à part entière. Et de façon générale, les nouvellistes n’ont pas bonne presse… Surveillée, censurée (sauf pour c...

Psychologists continue to debate the adequacy of the information...

  F England The Anglican Church became the established church in England when Henry VIII assumed (1534) the ecclesiastical authority over the English church that had previouslybeen exercised by the pope.

• Children's Literature I INTRODUCTION Kate Greenaway's May Day The delicate skill and graceful simplicity of English artist Kate Greenaway's illustrations delighted children and impressed thinkers, including art critic John Ruskin.

  With the development of vernacular literature, particularly after the invention of printing, more children's books appeared. The publications of the first English printer,William Caxton, included the Book of Curtesye (1477), a collection of rhymes that sets forth rules of conduct for a “goodly chylde.” Eight years later Caxton printed Le Morte d'Arthur (1469-1470; The Death of Arthur ) by English translator and compiler Sir Thomas Malory, which became the basis for later treatments of the A...

  E Environmental Issues The evaporation of the Aral Sea is one of the worst ecological disasters in the world. The Aral has shrunk so much that it now holds only about one-fifth the volume ofwater it held in 1960. The shrinkage is due to irrigation withdrawals from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, a practice that began on a massive scale in the early 1960s aspart of the Soviet Union’s ill-conceived drive to increase cotton yields in Central Asia. Growing cotton in the naturally arid and saline soil...

Il s'agit d'un théâtre qui contient des éléments de la farce et d'autres empruntés à la comédie italienne.
