Written on an excursion from Rome to Naples in 1740, while on the Grand Tour, the poem is among Gray's MS notes on the journey, at #JHU Libraries.

We have added a birth/death place visualization to the #EighteenthCenturyPoetryArchive poets' map as we continue to explore maps and mapping as analytical tools in support of multi-perspectival approaches, network analysis, and more.

🇬🇧 🇮🇳 **Company-State at Home: The East India Company and the Fiscal System in Eighteenth-Century Britain**

“_This article shows that fiscal capacity was not created only by government bureaucracies: the ‘company-state at home’ model presented here complements the narrative of the ‘fiscal-military state’ by showing that much fiscal revenue from trade was realized through the action of the English East India Company (EIC). Lacking the capacity to enact exhaustive laws, carry out complex calculations, or effectively manage a large bureaucracy, the English state relied on the administrative capacity of the EIC to collect customs on the East Indies trade._”

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 **‘The British are coming’ and the outbreak of hostilities during the American Revolutionary War**

“_During the summer of 1776, they defined their objective as total separation and declared independence. Yet declaring independence was very different to actually achieving it. King George III’s government, under Prime Minister Frederick, Lord North regarded their actions as no more than insurrection and remained determined to crush them._”
