2010Una biografia che ripercorre i momenti salienti della vita di Gioacchino Murat: le umili origini, la fulminante carriera militare al fianco di Napoleone, le celebri imprese in Italia, in Egitto e nella campagna di Prussia che portarono Napoleone all'apice del potere e Murat al trono del Regno di Napoli. Oltre alle vicende politiche, Renata De Lorenzo racconta la passione e il matrimonio di Gioacchino Murat e Caterina Bonaparte (sorella minore di Napoleone), la vita della corte francese a Napoli (1808-1815), il sofferto rapporto e i continui contrasti con Napoleone. Al periodo napoletano è dedicata la seconda parte del libro. Proclamato re del Regno di Napoli nel 1808, Gioacchino Murat - già detestato dal clero e dalla nobiltà che lo accusa di aver "usurpato" il potere ai Borboni - deve guadagnarsi il consenso del popolo, amministrare uno Stato ormai al collasso finanziario e, soprattutto, non deve deludere Napoleone. Autori: Renata De Lorenzo.

2006In 8°(cm 22x24), pagine 216, ill. b/n, tavv. col. Alla periferia dell'impero napoleonico, di fronte al rapporto di forze incerto e instabile che reggeva ormai l'impalcatura del regno di Napoli, i sovrani francesi si presentano, piuttosto che come conquistatori, come amministratori saggi e avveduti, portatori di un piano coerente di ristrutturazione dell'eredità dei Borbone. L'aspirazione a una riforma complessiva del regno si concretizza nella formazione di un ceto selezionato di professionisti impegnati a progettare e gestire un piano articolato di sviluppo architettonico e urbanistico, con l'apertura delle città al vasto territorio circostante e il rinnovamento radicale di canoni estetici e consuetudini civili, aggiornati al gusto e alle esigenze della borghesia emergente.

The text is signed in print as being by "Ln- Tallahassee Florida." Note on the verso in the hand of the recipient: "Obituary notice of my cousin Princess Achille Murat By Mrs. Long of Tallahassee Florida." Inscribed in the top margin by the author: "Mrs. Randall - Baltimore - With the compliments of the writer. E.C.L." and also with several corrections in her hand. Memorial address for Princess Murat the great-grandniece of George Washington who started life as Catherine Daingerfield Willis Gray born in Virginia in 1803. She was the first American woman to become a European princess having married Napoleon's nephew Prince Achille Murat in 1826. Prince Achille sought asylum in the U.S. and settled in Florida where he became the owner of a large plantation and eventually became Mayor of Tallahassee. He also served in Florida's militia in the Second Seminole War. He met his future wife while he was traveling with Lafayette on his Grand Tour of the United States in 1824. They later married and she settled with him in Tallahassee. When her husband died in 1847 she inherited his large estate and later acquired an additional cotton plantation. During the Civil War she nursed wounded Confederate soldiers. Upon her death in 1867 her friend Ellen Call Long 1825-1905 wrote this obituary the first half of which deals with Catherine and her life and marriage to the Prince. The second half is devoted to her life after his death mentioning her solicitude towards her slaves before during and after the War and her other humanitarian and charitable activities. She was also instrumental in spearheading the raising of funds in Florida for the purchase of Mount Vernon by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. The author of the obituary Ellen Call Long was reportedly ".the first white child born in Tallahassee" and like her father who was a two-time territorial governor a staunch Unionist until Florida seceded. She was the author of Florida Breezes: or Florida New and Old Jacksonville 1883 wherein she used a portion of this text in her account of the Prince and Princess Murat. According to Margaret Louise Chapman in her introduction to the 1962 University of Florida reprint of Florida Breezes: "Ellen Call Long would have been a remarkable woman in any age. In her own era she was truly exceptional." This text was later reprinted in the magazine Galaxy June 1875 and subsequently in 1909 by the Florida Historical Quarterly and also as a 12-page pamphlet in 1931.

William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States serving from March 4 1897 until his assassination in September 1901 six months into his second term. McKinley led the nation to victory in the Spanish - American War raised protective tariffs to promote American industry and maintained the nation on the gold standard in a rejection of inflationary proposals. McKinley was the last president to have served in the American Civil War and the only one to have started the war as an enlisted soldier beginning as a private in the Union Army and ending as a brevet major. After the war he settled in Canton Ohio where he practiced law and married Ida Saxton. In 1876 he was elected to Congress where he became the Republican Party's expert on the protective tariff which he promised would bring prosperity. His 1890 McKinley Tariff was highly controversial; which together with a Democratic redistricting aimed at gerrymandering him out of office led to his defeat in the Democratic landslide of 1890. He was elected Ohio's governor in 1891 and 1893 steering a moderate course between capital and labor interests. With the aid of his close adviser Mark Hanna he secured the Republican nomination for president in 1896 amid a deep economic depression. He defeated his Democratic rival William Jennings Bryan after a front-porch campaign in which he advocated "sound money" the gold standard unless altered by international agreement and promised that high tariffs would restore prosperity. Rapid economic growth marked McKinley's presidency. He promoted the 1897 Dingley Tariff to protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition and in 1900 he secured the passage of the Gold Standard Act. McKinley hoped to persuade Spain to grant independence to rebellious Cuba without conflict but when negotiation failed he led the nation into the Spanish - American War of 1898; the U.S. victory was quick and decisive. As part of the peace settlement Spain turned over to the United States its main overseas colonies of Puerto Rico Guam and the Philippines; Cuba was promised independence but at that time remained under the control of the U.S. Army. The United States annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 and it became a U.S. territory. Historians regard McKinley's 1896 victory as a realigning election in which the political stalemate of the post - Civil War era gave way to the Republican-dominated Fourth Party System which began with the Progressive Era. McKinley defeated Bryan again in the 1900 presidential election in a campaign focused on imperialism protectionism and free silver. However his legacy was quickly cut short when he was shot on September 6 1901 by Leon Czolgosz a second-generation Polish-American with anarchist leanings; McKinley died eight days later and was succeeded by his Vice President Theodore Roosevelt. As an innovator of American interventionism and pro-business sentiment McKinley's presidency is generally considered above average though his universally positive public perception was soon overshadowed by Roosevelt.
