![]() ![]() ![]() Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool for in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. ![]() The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. Government is at best but an expedient but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. ![]() Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe - “That government is best which governs not at all” and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have. I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least” and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Original title: Resistance to Civil Government ![]() ![]() ![]() While many other writers spoke of England trampling on the British rights of colonials, but believed King George III would soon rectify the wrongs done to the colonies, Paine argued that the entire British system was fundamentally based on a tyranny of aristocracy and monarchy. ![]() As anger at Great Britain deepened and armed conflict erupted in the American colonies, Paine wrote his most famous pamphlet, Common Sense, which appeared in January 1776. After brief stints as a sailor and tax official, Paine was introduced to Benjamin Franklin in London in 1774 and subsequently moved to Philadelphia. Paine was born in 1737 in Thetford, England. In addition, Paine constantly agitated for democratic reforms not only in the United States, but also in France and England as well, and helped link the dramatic transformations of the various nations in the northern Atlantic world during the late 1700s. Evidenced in the title of his most famous pamphlet, Common Sense, Paine wrote in a manner that appealed to the masses, not just American elites. ![]() Yet Paine's popularity was based not solely on original ideas, but rather his feverish level of activity and style of writing. One of the most influential writers during the American Revolution, Thomas Paine also helped shape the political ideologies of George Washington. ![]() ![]() Historical sources reveal very different materials: Besides paper, silk, ivory or velvet we find jeweled metal containers that made it possible to fix the portrait on one’s own body. ![]() In particular the article focuses on the envelopes in which English Renaissance portrait miniatures – like human bodies – were protected. This paper examines a group of artifacts that are paradigmatic for images worn on the body: the portrait jewel. By focusing on Rubens’s interest in traditional lapidary matters as well as in nascent scientific enquiry, and by attending to pictorial detail, I aim to shed light on how the artist not only acquired and valued minerals but how precious stones were thematised in portraits and subjects from mythology and the Bible. During the first two decades of the seventeenth century at which time Rubens was a visitor, Rome was a centre for the development of mineralogical science and collecting, not least through the Accademia dei Lincei with whose members Rubens was associated. There is evidence that the artist not only owned raw stones but dealt in diamonds. Antwerp, the artist’s home city, was a major centre for global trade in precious stones. By focusing on material I address an aspect of Rubens’s life and work that has by comparison been largely ignored. ![]() ![]() Unsurprisingly the main focus of Rubens scholarship has been iconographical. ![]() Rubens has been recognised as an artist of extraordinary erudition as well as a collector, diplomat and linguist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tori Rivas, is stubborn, intelligent and a truly independent minded.

The education of a villain is not an easy one, and Tori will have to learn quickly if she wants to survive.

A sample of Asian-American and Asian-Australian picture books and graphic novels Hannah Is My Name: A Young Immigrant’s Story (written and illustrated by Belle Yang), The Arrival (written and illustrated by Shaun Tan), and American Born Chinese (written and illustrated by Gene Luen Yang), were examined for an understanding of visual representations of the cultural hybrid identity of Asian immigrants to inform classroom practice.
