1833réf. 247284London: Richard Bentley New Burlington Street 1833. First Edition. xii 331 1; iv 341 1 pp. 2 vols. 8vo. Contemporary quarter tan calf and marbled boards. Ticket of R.E. Narby Bookseller & Printer Warminster. Bookplate. Fine. First Edition. xii 331 1; iv 341 1 pp. 2 vols. 8vo. Following imprisonment Wakefield began to study colonial affairs of Australia with an eye towards immigration. Recognizing that the depressed condition of Australian affairs was due to a lack of efficiency and sensible handling he gathered his theories for correcting the problems and first published them in "A Letter from Sydney" London 1829 under the name Robert Gouger. It was so well done that the author was supposed to be an immigrant. He revised and refined these views for his "New Colonization System" in "England and America" as the chapter the "Art of Colonisation." The theories for his "System" were to abolish free grants of agricultural land requiring a fixed price which would be kept low enough so that a laborer would be able to purchase land after a few years this to reduce the number of ex-convicts laborers from receiving land for which they had no use to regulate immigration and to use tax monies from the rental of grants to bring laborers to the colonies. One of the main results of his publications and efforts was the founding of the National Colonization Society and then the South Australian Association the latter intended to be based upon Wakefield's theories. He was also a close advisor to the Molesworth Committee. On the appointment of Lord Durham to Canada in 1838 Wakefield became interested in that territory and is credited with having greatly assisted Durham with his famous "Report on the Affairs of British North America." He also acted as an adviser to Sir Charles Theophilus Metcalfe in Canada in the 1840's. In 1837 Wakefield had formed the New Zealand Association and spent most of years following directing the affairs of the association from England while his brother William Hayward Wakefield directed and managed it from New Zealand.

réf. 9788573213829ILUMINURAS. new. Se nem todo fil�sofo deve ser historiador seria ao menos desej�vel que todo historiador se tornasse fil�sofo'. Essa frase do ingls Edward Gibbon 1737 1794 encontra-se em seu escrito de estreia Ensaio sobre o estudo da literatura esp�cie de discurso do m�todo da hist�ria filos�fica tal como praticada por seus predecessores: T�cito Montesquieu Hume. O volume que o leitor tem em mos traz pela primeira vez em l�ngua portuguesa esse escrito de juventude cujo car�ter polmico e estilo vigoroso caem bem a um jovem autor cheio de ambio e confiana. Em defesa da nova hist�ria Gibbon no hesita em se contrapor a Diderot e dAlembert que na Enciclop�dia haviam reduzido a hist�ria a uma disciplina da mem�ria. Contra essa banalizao Gibbon mostra que o gnio do historiador reside sobretudo no ju�zo acertado na escolha e interpretao dos fatos. Contra Rousseau ele defende a dignidade da investigao aprofundada das transaes pol�ticas e militares e das maneiras dos homens contra a hip�tese arbitr�ria de um estado de natureza descolado da historicidade que nos dispensaria de aceitar a hist�ria como instncia que faculta a compreenso da natureza humana. Tendo meditado sobre essas questes de fundo o jovem Gibbon se lana no estudo das fontes e documentos que permitem compreender a experincia hist�rica em filigrana. A primeira pea de car�ter hist�rico por ele redigida em 1764 � uma pequena obra-prima que atesta o surgimento de um talento extraordin�rio. Numa dissertao at� hoje insuperada Sobre os triunfos entre os romanos Gibbon pe em ao o m�todo divisado poucos anos antes e reconstitui com preciso e vivacidade um ritual perdido cujo sentido ele depreende de uma interpretao laboriosa de fatos esparsos por�m conclusivos. Em 1776 surge o primeiro volume daquela que ser� a sua obra-prima e um dos grandes livros da literatura moderna: Decl�nio e queda do Imp�rio Romano. Completado em 1784 esse estudo monumental apresenta nada menos que um painel das causas que levaram ao desabamento da maior mais imponente e mais longeva estrutura de poder jamais vista sobre a terra fiando-se pela hip�tese que ser� demonstrada ao longo do livro de que esse evento foi decisivo para a hist�ria subsequente incluindo-se a� a da Europa moderna e de sua expanso pelo globo. A traduo parcial de Decl�nio e queda para a l�ngua portuguesa um cl�ssico de Jos� Paulo Paes exclui duas dissertaes de interesse para essa tese geral uma delas sobre os germnicos a outra sobre os citas ou hunos ambas inclu�das neste volume.
