Andrew Reed (1787-1862) was a Congregational minister, an energetic
philanthropist and a highly successful fundraiser. He began to
study theology at Hackney Academy in 1807 and was ordained minister
in 1811, serving in this role until 1861. He helped to found
numerous charitable institutions, most notably the London Orphan
Asylum, the Asylum for Fatherless Children, the Asylum for Idiots,
the Infant Orphan Asylum, and the Hospital for Incurables. In
addition to his charitable work, he found time to write. He
compiled a hymn book, and published sermons, devotional books and
an account of his visit to America in 1834, when he received a
Doctorate of Divinity from Yale. This biography of Reed, compiled
by two of his sons, was first published in 1863. It describes his
many achievements, using selections from Reed's own journals, and
includes a list of his publications.
This study examines the ritual space of nineteenth-century royal
tours of empire and the diverse array of historical actors who
participated in them. It suggests that the varied responses to the
royal tours of the nineteenth century demonstrate how a
multi-centred British imperial culture was forged in the empire and
was constantly made and remade, appropriated and contested. In this
context, subjects of empire provincialised the British Isles,
centring the colonies in their political and cultural constructions
of empire, Britishness, citizenship and loyalty. -- .

Lively political and public debates on war and morality have been a
feature of the post-Cold War world. The Price of Peace argues that
a re-examination of the just war tradition is therefore required.
The authors suggest that despite fluctuations and transformations
in international politics, the just war tradition continues to be
relevant. However they argue that it needs to be reworked to
respond to the new challenges to international security represented
by the end of the Cold War and the impact of terrorism. With an
interdisciplinary and transatlantic approach, this volume provides
a dialogue between theological, political, military and public
actors. By articulating what a reconstituted just war tradition
might mean in practice, it also aims to assist policy-makers and
citizens in dealing with the ethical dilemmas of war.
