	Quentin Skinner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quentin Robert Duthie Skinner is Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University.
		In 1978 he was appointed to the chair of Political Science at Cambridge University, and in 1996 he was appointed Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge by Her Majesty the Queen.
		In a significant development of his earlier biting critiques of anachronism in the history of ideas, he now advances the view that one purpose of studying the history of political thought is to excavate past ideas in order to reassert their potential importance in modern political debate.

	A.C. Seward, "Darwin and Modern Science," 1909 - Chapter 27
		By J.B. BURY, Litt.D., LL.D. Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge.
		Nevertheless it is closely related to the ideas which revolutionised history at the beginning of the last century; it swam into men's ken simultaneously; and it helped effectively to establish the notion of history as a continuous process and to emphasise the significance of time.
		Modern painting was founded by Giotto, and the Italian expedition of Charles VIII, near the close of the sixteenth century, introduced into France the fashion of imitating Italian painters.

	raceandhistory.com - The History of Liberty
		Acton, in his Lectures on Modern History and Lectures on the French Revolution, often took issue with the notion that superiority and progress were found with battle victories and the enslavement of the conquered.
		Specifically he stressed the study of Modern History because it was the story of ourselves, of problems that have yet to be resolved, of events that have yet to climax, of curiosities left unsatiated.
		To study history was to study the human race and a necessary exercise in the development of the conscience.

	Acton, Lectures on Modern History (1906): The Online Library of Liberty
		By Universal History I understand that which is distinct from the combined history of all countries, which is not a rope of sand but a continuous development, not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.
		History is a preceptor of prudence, not of principles.
		Modern History touches us so nearly, it is so deep a question of life and death, that we are bound to find our own way through it, and to owe our insight to ourselves.

		Professor in political science, Regius Professor of Modern History, and a laudatio by a philosopher: this reflects the rich multi-faceted nature of the research of Professor Skinner and indicates that he exercises his profession in a renewing way and transcends its boundaries.
		Professor Skinner’s work originates in dissatisfaction with this conception of what is relevant, that makes history a mirror and a confirmation of our convictions and questions.
		It is to Professor Skinner’s credit that he broke this deadlocked debate open by confronting the participants with the “unfamiliar” and forgotten theories of the neo-Romans, who contrast freedom with slavery and not only with coercion.

	William Stubbs
		In 1866 he was appointed regius professor of modern history at Oxford, and held the chair until 1884.
		He rejected the theory of the unity and continuity of history so far as it would obliterate distinctions between ancient and modern history, holding that, though work on ancient history is a useful preparation for the study of modern history, either may advantageously be studied apart.
		He urged that history is not to be treated as an exact science, and that the effects of individual character and the operations of the human will necessarily render generalizations vague and consequently useless.

		He became law-lecturer and tutor of Christ Church, fellow of Oriel College, delegate of the Clarendon Press, and in 1894 he was made regius professor of modern history in succession to J. Froude.

		At the least he wrote a great history, one which can never be disregarded by future writers on his period, be their opinions what they may; which attracts and delights a multitude of readers, and is a splendid example of literary form and grace in historical composition.
		Each instalment of his History, in common with almost everything which he wrote, was widely read, and in spite of some adverse criticisms was received with eager applause.
		On the death of his adversary Freeman in 1892, he was appointed, on the recommendation of Lord Salisbury, to succeed him as regius professor of modern history at Oxford.

	Professor Lord Acton: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Professor Chadwick has long commanded an easy familiarity with the considerable published writings of Acton; he has mastered vast quantities of the even more extensive Acton archives, held principally by Cambridge; he has known those who knew Acton; and, like Acton, he himself, from 1968 to 1983, was Regius Professor of Modern History.
		In reading Professor Chadwick on Acton's role at the Council one experiences anew that extraordinary episode in which a Catholic layman exerted herculean effort to galvanize hierarchy and statesmen against a dogmatic pronouncement he and Döllinger knew to be unsound historically.
		Professor Chadwick has honored this commemorative occasion by preparing a carefully researched essay on Acton and his career at Cambridge, which is at the same time a synthesis of his work on Acton over many years.

	Modern History Sourcebook: Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-92): Race And Language, 1879
		The pages of history are crowded with cases in which nations have cast aside the tongue of their forefathers, and have taken instead the tongue of some other people.
		This is the standing point, whether of history which is the politics of the past, or of politics which are the history of the present.
		Thus the modern Frenchman may be defined as produced by the union of blood which is mainly Celtic with a speech which is mainly Latin, and with an historical polity which is mainly Teutonic.

		He believed that, though work on ancient history is a useful preparation for the study of modern history, either may advantageously be studied apart.
		While pointing out that history is useful as a mental discipline and a part of a liberal education, he recommended its study chiefly for its own sake.
		He was equally eminent in ecclesiastical history, as an editor of texts and as the historian of the British constitution.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Johann Joseph Ignaz von Doellinger
		Döllinger's father was a professor of medicine in the University of Bamberg, and his son was influenced, in an unusual degree, by the family traditions and his whole environment.
		Formally, he was professor of canon law and ecclesiastical history, but was soon burdened with the teaching of dogma and New Testament exegesis, a task to which a weaker or inferior mind would not have proved equal.
		At this time Monsignor Wiseman, later Cardinal, and Archbishop of Westminster, then professor at the Roman University (Sapienza) and rector of the English College, saw the necessity of strenghtening Catholicism in the development of its new opportunities in England, and for this reason was minded to effect closer relations with the learned clergy of Germany.

		At his university he took the Stanhope prize for an essay on the marquess Wellesley in 1877, became lecturer at Pembroke College in 1887, and fellow of All Souls College in 1 9 01.
		He was Ford's lecturer in English history in 1 9 00, and became regius professor of modern history at Oxford in succession to F. York Powell in 1904.
		Firth's historical work was almost entirely confined to English history during the time of the Great Civil War and the Commonwealth; and although he is somewhat overshadowed by S. Gardiner, a worker in the same field, his books are of great value to students of this period.

	The memory of Christmas - www.smh.com.au
		In A History of Christianity, the former Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University, Owen Chadwick, reminds us that Christmas as we now know it was originally a combination of three distinct elements.
		These, he writes, were "the junketings of the Roman crowd trying to relieve the gloom of winter; the Roman cult of the sun and its light; and, at the heart, the memory of a birth in a manger in the Palestinian town of Bethlehem".
		That world has been built on the idea of toleration, understood in turn as the idea that religion is essentially a private concern and so religious differences can be glossed over and their individual contributions diminished because nothing of public importance hangs on them.

	Michael Benedict Hackett
		The history of the medieval universities, particularly Cambridge and Oxford, were the subject of deep and most fruitful research on his part.
		It was his unique distinction to have rediscovered the original thirteenth-century statutes of the University of Cambridge which formed the core of his epoch-making study of the foundation and statutory history of the medieval university.
		His researches also extended to the early history of Oxford University and he was requested to write the chapter on the medieval constitution of the university for volume one of The History of the University of Oxford, which appeared in 1984.

	Catholic is appointed as regius professor
		The regius professor has always been a fellow of Christ Church and a canon of Oxford's Anglican cathedral, which is the college chapel.
		The link between the regius chair and the canonry was made by an 1840 Act of Parliament and originally the professor's salary was paid by the Church.
		The appointments are the first to regius chairs since Oxford agreed with the Prime Minister new selection procedures which allow the university to propose its own choice.

	The History of Freedom in Christianity - Lord Acton
		This is particularly the case where there exists no bill of rights, or where the judiciary co-operates with the legislature or the government to erode the protections intended by such a bill.
		Given as it was only months after his February 28, 1877 speech to the Bridgnorth Institute - "The History of Freedom in Antiquity" - this speech provides a history that arguably takes over where the former speech left off.
		As with the former speech, it is essential reading for any person who wants to understand both the history of individual freedom, and the nature of that concept.

		Writing in 1964, G.N. Clark thought that Acton’s editon of the “Cambridge Modern History” was “the most influential survey in English language of the history of the five previous centuries as they appeared to the scholars of the times.
		Methodologically, “The Cambridge Modern History” was to be Rankean, even to the extent of the revision of Rome which meant that Acton never regarded history to be a dogma but an interim report, a progressive science that develops and removes any type of deficiencies.
		He elaborated: “By universal history I understand that which is distinct from the combined histories of all countries, which is not a rope of sand but a continuous development and is not burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.
