Commentary on the Calico Printers' Act 1787

Legislation conferred exclusive rights lasting two months on those first printing 'new and original' patterns on linens, cottons, calicoes and muslins.
The commentary describes the background to the Act, the challenge which the Northern cotton and printing industry presented to those printing fashionable cottons and calicoes in London, as well as the significance of the cotton industry to the British economy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Against this backdrop, the commentary also explores why it was that the protection provided by the legislature was limited to two months only, by comparison with the more generous copyright terms provided by the Statute of Anne 1710 (uk_1710) and the Engravers' Acts (uk_1735; uk_1766; uk_1777).

Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787)

The Striped Catfish can be recognized by its striped coloration, barbels around the mouth, and its body shape which tapers to a point posteriorly. Small juveniles are black and large adults may be less distinctly striped. Plotosus lineatus can reach a maximum length of 32 cm (13 in) and about 40cm in Persian Gulf. The body is brown with cream-colored or white longitudinal bands. The most striking feature of this species is in the fins; in fact the second dorsal, caudal and anal are fused together as in eels. In the rest of the body is quite similar to a freshwater catfish: the mouth is surrounded by four pairs of barbells, four on the upper jaw and four on the lower jaw. The first dorsal and each of the pectoral fins have a highly venomous spine. They may even be fatal. Juveniles of P. lineatus form dense ball-shaped schools of about 100 fish, while adults are solitary or occur in smaller groups of around 20 and are known to hide under ledges during the day. Adult P. lineatus search and stir the sand incessantly for crustaceans, mollusks, worms, and sometimes fish. Striped eel catfish is an oviparous fish; this species has demersal eggs and planktonic larvae. This species has evolved long ampullary canals in its electrosensory organs.

La guerra centroamericana contra los filibusteros en 1856-1857: Una aproximación a las fuentes bibliográficas y documentales.

ResumenLa guerra librada contra los filibusteros en 1856- 1857 no es una lucha contra un enemigo invisible. El filibusterismo constituye una amenaza contra la integridad e identidad de las naciones libres e independientes, no solo dentro de la geografía centroamericana, sino también en otros lugares de nuestro planeta. Memorialistas e historiadores se han encargado de registrar estas acciones para su mejor conocimiento y comprensión por parte de las sucesivas generaciones. Conforme pasa el tiempo, el aporte de estos hechos al conocimiento de la historia centroamericana se esclarece cada vez más.

La epidemia del cólera de 1856 en el Valle Central: análisis y consecuencias demográficas

Introducción Quien entra en contacto con la bibliografía histórica de Costa Rica hallara frecuentes referencias a la guerra con los filibusteros en  1856-1857 y al retiro precipitado de las tropas costarricenses desde la ciudad de Rivas, cuando estalla el cólera. Dicha epidemia ha sido calificada como la peor que sufriera el país en su historia pero todas las naciones son someras, salvo uno o dos estudios que le dedican algunas paginas mas. Lo extraño es que ningún historiador sintiera la inquietud por profundizar el análisis de un fenómeno de características catastróficas tan intensas, comparable a los fenómenos volcánicos tan comunes de América Central.
