Abstract
The paper looks at "The Subjection of Women" where John Stuart Mill makes an argument for the emancipation of women. The paper asserts that by making this argument in 1869, Mill was very much ahead of his time - as is shown by the fact that most women are still not fully emancipated, 138 years later. The paper argues that the concept of freedom that animates Mill's critique of the status of women is as valid today as it was in 1869.

"In "The Subjection of Women", John Stuart Mill makes an argument for the emancipation of women. In making this argument in 1869, Mill was very much ahead of his time - as is shown by the fact that most women are still not fully emancipated, 138 years later. Moreover, the world is still full of men (and even some women) who would espouse many of the counter-arguments to the emancipation of women that Mill so eloquently dismisses in Chapter 1 of this treatise. This essay argues that the concept of freedom that animates Mill's critique of the status of women is as valid today as it was in 1869, and that acceptance of this concept of freedom should be used..."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the reigns of Charles V, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire to that of Murad III, ruler of the Ottoman empire. The author states that the men were vastly different from one another. But despite their differences, there are many similarities in the reigns of Charles V and Murad III, as both men were mediocre leaders who achieved limited success in their roles. While both men certainly faced difficult circumstances during their rules, the paper describes them as also helping to orchestrate their own failings through personal weaknesses and poor decisions. The author concludes that Charles V and Murad III had similar results: both men left their empires weaker then they found them, and both men helped initiate or expand the process by which their empires decayed.

Outline:
Military Miscues
Unwise Policy Decisions
Underappreciated Threats
Worse than They Found It
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Murad III, quite similarly, was challenged by internal and external forces, which largely went unchecked as he withdrew from affairs of state. Internally, he faced dissatisfaction publicly and within his inner circle as his harem exerted significant influence over political decisions. Further, his unwise monetary policy led to a revolt among his soldiers. Externally, the growth of the Ottoman Empire dove into stagnation during his rule, and the once-invincible military showed weakness during its conflicts with Persia and Austria."

Abstract
The next few pages will discuss the life and triumphs of Charles Dickens, one of the modern age's most beloved novelists. The paper will detail the strengths of Dickens' work, his early life, the unusual wisdom and sagacity of his writing, his dramatic rise to prominence in the 1830s when he was not much older than most university students are today, and his lengthy series of critical and (especially) commercial successes. Finally, the paper highlights how (arguably) Dickens' greatest literary masterpieces came in the late 1850s and early 1860s when his characteristic vigor was coupled with tremendous insight and a certain sadness. In the end, anyone who wants to understand nineteenth century literature in Great Britain needs to read Charles Dickens.

Abstract
The English and the Dutch fought three wars in the seventeenth century of which the first two were about trade and the third about King Charles II and his attempts to gain power. This essay outlines these wars and the impact they had on the trade, politics and religion of Europe at that time. It also allows us to understand better the motives and drive behind the English king engaging in various treaties, alliances and of course battle. Great detail is paid to historical fact.

From the Paper
"The Dutch naval wars have been viewed as having lesser historical importance than many other events of the same time period, such as the English civil wars and the restoration of Charles II. However, these wars had a great impact on the trade, politics and religion of seventeenth century Europe. Three wars were fought between England and the Dutch Republic, the first two about trade. The third war, on which focus has been aimed, dealt with the monarch of England, Charles II, and his attempts to gain power. The third Dutch naval war failed to enhance Charles II's power because the war went badly and caused the treaty of Dover to backfire."

Abstract
This is a write-up of a chemistry laboratory experiment looking at Charles' Law, which states that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional to each other. The paper describes two experiments: (1) a gas is heated and its temperature and volume change noted and compared; and (2) a candle is burned in an inverted test tube set in a pan of water. The paper describes that as the oxygen in the tube is used up, water rises in the tube, and when there is no more oxygen left the flame is extinguished.

Abstract
This paper examines the life of William Wordsworth, born in England in 1770 and considered to be one of the original romantic poets. It reviews some of most famous pieces of work with an emphasis on how he saw beauty in every form of nature. It looks at how the characters that appear in his poetry are solitary and how Wordsworth himself was a solitary person, happiest alone only with Nature. Wordsworth believed that nature was the most powerful thing that could teach people about life and how to fulfill one's life with happiness and wealth. It assesses his friendships with a new generation of writers like John Stuart Mill and the Brownings' Robert and Elizabeth Barrett and the influence on his life of good friends such as Beaumont, Scott, Coleridge, Charles Lamb and Robert Jones.

From the Paper
"Though co-writing did not produce any mutually agreeable results, in 1798 the two poets published Lyrical Ballads as a collaborative effort. The work got mixed reviews. While publishing the second edition of the same work, the poets disagreed on who should get the major credit. Wordsworth was also simultaneously working on The Prelude (which was not published until after his death). The third edition of Lyrical Ballads (Wordsworth, 1798) was published in 1802. At the same time, Wordsworth and his siblings came into inheritance owed them by their father's employer. The war also ended; and, William could travel to meet his daughter Caroline, though this trip marked the end of his relationship with Annette. In October 4, 1802, Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson. In 1803, Wordsworth's first child of five (with Mary) was born. He also began forming friendships with well-known men of the time: Sir Walter Scott, Sir George Beaumont, and Robert Southey. In 1804, he published Ode: Intimations of Immortality (Wordsworth, 1919), and some more work on The Prelude (Wordsworth, 1986)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Palladian architecture did break new ground as seen in the Villa Rotonda outside Vicenza, but others working in a more fluid tradition brought residential architecture to a level of sophistication now known as Palladian architecture. The author points out that Inigo Jones, court architect to Britain's Stuart Kings, James I and Charles I, familiar with Palladio's ideas, created and completed almost 50 buildings in and around London; the Queen's House at Greenwich, taking nearly 20 years to complete, is a Palladian masterpiece, exceeding the Villa Rotonda in almost every way. The paper relates that Thomas Jefferson, founding father and President of the United States, was the architect who best expressed Palladian ideas, as seen by his own plans for the University of Virginia and his own home Monticello.

From the Paper
"Palladio was at home with such clients. Born in Padua in 1508, Palladio was an assistant stonecutter and mason in the Vicenza guild before meeting an amateur architect, Giangiorgio Trissino, who tutored him. Palladio executed some commissions for the aristocracy in the Classic tradition, arguably an unbroken line from Ancient Rome until the Renaissance. It wasn't until later in his career, the 1560s, that he moved into religious buildings. In 1570, ten years before his death, he published "I Quattro Libre del'Architettura". So it was in hindsight, in any case, that he made claim to his mathematically precise systems of design, and to the principles gained from visual arts as well a his principle of relating his buildings to nature. Palladio's works are said to lack the grandeur of the works of many other Renaissance architects. Perhaps. But if so, they do not lack for at least lip service to the embellishments that help establish that grandeur. On the peaks of the loggia roofs and on the wings of the loggia steps, Palladio places monumental, classical statuary figures."
