some preliminary remarks--”Back to the 19th Century!”
My list of “losses” last week after Hurricane “Ike”:1. connection to the outside world
a. Internetb. cable news

How the 19th century brought these:1. “penny press”--daily papers, 1830s, telegraph, 1842, trans-Atlantic cable, 1867, “yellow press,”
1890s, telephones, 1880s-1920s, radio, 1900s-1920s, films, 1900s-1920s
2. gas illumination, 1820s-1860s (urban only); electricity, 1890s-1910s (urban only)
3. refrigeration, (urban private homes) ice delivery, 1880s, electric refrigerators, 1920s

III] solemnly declare that the present Act has no other object than to publish, in
the face of the whole world, their fixed resolution, both in the administration of
their respective States, and in their political relations with every other
Government, to take for their sole guide the precepts of that Holy Religion, namely, the precepts of Justice, Christian Charity, and Peace, which, far from
being applicable only to private concerns, must have an immediate influence on
the councils of Princes, and guide all their steps, as being the only means of
consolidating human institutions and remedying their imperfections.

Austria’s primary military focus
Metternich perceived Italy as both the linchpin of his European system and the empire’s most vulnerable sector. The local rebellions of the early 1820s further concentrated his attention across the Alps….Piedmont (the strongest of the Italian kingdoms) increasingly understood its relations with the empire as ultimately zero-sum : one could profit only by the other’s loss.

the Troppau Protocol
States, which have undergone a change of government due to revolution, the result of which threaten other states, ipso facto cease to be members of the European Alliance, and remain excluded from it until their situation gives guarantees for legal order and stability. If, owing to such alterations, immediate danger threatens other states the powers bind themselves, by peaceful means, or if need be, by arms, to bring back the guilty state into the bosom of the Great Alliance.
