The New York Times открыла доступ к архиву

Bastion: [quote]The New York Times сделала бесплатной себя в интернете и открыла доступ к огромному архиву Влиятельная американская газета The New York Times решила больше не взимать плату со своих читателей в интернете. О том, что теперь почти все материалы сайта стали бесплатными, сообщается на самом сайте издания. Два года назад газета запустила систему TimesSelect (Таймс-Избранное), по которой посетители платили около 50 долларов в год за доступ к колонкам комментаторов или архиву газеты. Доступ к TimesSelect был бесплатным только для подписчиков газеты и некоторых категорий студентов и преподавателей. Те, кто уже заплатил наперед за TimesSelect, получат компенсацию. Теперь же все без исключения смогут увидеть текущие материалы, а главное, уникальный архив - с 1851 по 1922 год и с 1987 год по настоящее время. Доступ к некоторым материалам периода с 1923 по 1986 год по прежнему будет платным. Отмечается, что сайт газеты в месяц посещают около 13 миллионов человек, издание в этом опережает своих конкурентов. полностью: http://txt.newsru.com/world/19sep2007/nyt.html [/quote] Ссылка на сайт The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/18/business/media/18times.html?_r=2&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1190210721-c7GWpJ+Hsdv4eOVMshZpVQ&oref=slogin

Bastion: Народ, у кого хорший доступ и хороший английский! Поройтесь там. Хорошо бы составить краткую инструкцию: как там быстро разобратся - найти что-либо. з.s. Лично меня интересуют архивы 1854-1856 годов

Bastion: Сталкер пишет: Крымская война? угу... Что-то никто не отреагировал

Сталкер: Как поступить? Я уже посмотрел. Окошко архивов прямо на главной странице, и запрос можно ограничивать любой датой или любыми датами. Тексты выдаются в основном в пэ-дэ-эфе. Если Вас интересуют конкретные даты и события, то я могу с этим помочь. Скажем, зная, что газеты с новостями в то время опаздывали на несколько дней до недели, а анализ прошедшего события мог быть даже через месяц-два, то логично ограничивать поиск от даты события плюс месяц и вписывfть еще слово Russia.

Сталкер: Вот пока ищу по Крыму, интересная статейка: DETAILS OF THE TAKING OF SUMTER. CHARLESTON, Sunday, April 14. The Reporter for the Associated Press did not arrive in this city until yesterday (Saturday,) morning, consequently he lost the opportunity to give a description of the pyrotechnic display on Friday night, ^hich was, according to eye witnesses, truly grand. The terrific firing reached an awful climax at 10 o'clock at night. The Heavens were obscured by rain cloude, and it was as dark as Erebus. The guns were heard distinctly, the wind blowing in shore, Sometimes a shell would burst in mid air, directly over Fort Sumter, Nearly all night long all the streets were thronged with people full of excitement and enthusiasm. The house-tops, the Battery, the wharves, the shipping, in fact every available place was tali en possession of by the multitude. The discharges of cannon gradually diminished as the sun rose. All the clouds which rendered the night go dark and dismal disappeared a* the day began to break while the air became most beautiful, balmy and refreshing. The streets were filled again with persons, male and female, old and young, white and black; some went to the Battery, some to the wharves and some to the steeples of the churches. A few random shots were fired from the Confederate bakeries, to which Fort Sumter only replied occasionally. Soon it became evident that Sumter was on fire, and all eyes were riveted upon it. The dense smoke that issued from it was seen gradually to rise to the ramparts. Some supposed that this was merely a signal from Major Anderson to draw In the fleet to aid him. At this time the fleet was id the offing, quietly riding at anchor, and could clearly be distinguished. Four vessels were ranged in line directly over the bar, apparently blockading the port. Their long, black hulls and smoke-stacks proved ihem to be Federal steamers. Everyone anxiously awaited to see what they would do. The suspense was very exciting. On all sides could be heard: " Will the vessels come In and engage the batteries?" u If they do not, they are cowardly poltroons." Every person on the Battery fully expected that the engagement would become general. By the aid of glasses it was thought that a movement was being made to this end by two of the war snips, and it was thought that the sand would soon begin to fly from the Morris Island batteries. At 10 o'clock in the morning, attention was again riveted upon Fort Sumter, which was now beyond a doubt on Sire. The flames were seen to burst through the roofs of the houses within its walls, and. dense columns of smoke shot quickly upward. At this time; Major Anderson scarcely fired a shot. The guns on the ramparts of Fort Sumter had no utterance ia them. Bursting shells and grape scattered like hall over the doomed fort, and drove the soldiers under cover, From the Iron Battery at Cummings Point, a continuous tie was kept up. Its rifled cannon played sad havoc with that portion of Fort Sumter facing it. The firing from the Floating Battery and from Fort Moultrie continued very regular and accurate. Standing on the Charleston Battery, and looking seaward you have on the right a mortar battery and Fort Johnston, distant from the city two vand a half miles. Half a mile from Fort Johnston is the Iron Battery of Gumming*' Point, mounting taree ten-inch. columbiads, three sixty-four pounders, three mortars and one rifled cannon. Cuminings Point is only fifteen hundred yards from Fort Sumter, and so any one can imagine what havoc the regular fire of the Cuminings' Point Battery must have created* The men working the guns made them terribly effective. The saLd redoubt was scarcely injured by the weak fire Major Anderson kept up on the battery. It was commanded by Major Stevens, of the Citadel CLdets. Under his direction each shell that was fired found a destination within Fort Sumter, and during the entire bombardment scarcely one missile of this character missed its mark. On the other side of the harbor, directly opposite Fort Sumter, is one of the strongest sides of Fort Moultrie. During the last three months it has been strengthened by every appliance that military art could suggest. Its merlons, moats, glaces and em-biasuiesare perfectly protected. The weak walls of the fort were made perfectly secure for the gunners while at work. From this point throughout the engagement vaet numbers of shot and heavy balls were discharged. Behind this, and near Sullivan's Island, the Floating Battery was stationed, with two 64 and two 42-pounders. Its sides of iron and palmetto logB were impenetrable. Every shot from it told on Fort Sum-ters and the men in charge of it were so secure in their position that some of them indulged in soldiers7 pastime, while others played five-cent ante, euchre and bluff* The Mortar Battery at Mount Pleasant was five hundred yards from the Floating.Battery, wad was mounted with two mortars within excellent range of Fort Sumter. The shells from this mortar were thrown with great precision. You now have all the positions on the works bearing directly on Fort Sumter. Ail through Friday morning the greatest activity at all points was displayed. Three times Major Anderson 's barracks were set on fire, and twice he succeeded in patting out the flame*, and to do this it was necessary to employ all his force passing along water. To get water it was necessary for some of Ms men to go outside the walls and hand the buckets in through the portholes, during all which time they were exposed to a most terrific fire from the various batteries. This last expedient was not resorted to until the fort was on fire for the third time, and the flames had increased to an alarming pitch. Meantime Major Anderson 's guns were silent. He allowed Ms men to be exposed to the galling fire upon them but a few moments, and then ordered them in and shut the batteries, as the smoke was too thick to work them. At noon the flres burnt from every quarter of Fort Sumter, and the destruction of it was complete.

Сталкер: По Альме просто АИ! IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OP THE BALTIC. Great Battle Between the Russians and the Allied Armies Defeat of the Russians—18,000 Killed and Wounded. DOWNFALL OF SEBASTOPOL, Surrender of the Ships, Stores, Forts, Gnus, &c. &c. COMPLETE AND DECISIVE VICTORY OF THE ALLIES INTERESTING DETAIL OF THE LANDING, Return of the British Arctic Squadron. The American steamer Baltic, Capt. COMSTOCK, reached this port at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, having left Liverpool on the 4th of October, at 9.50 A. M. The Baltic experienced heavy westerly winds throughout the passage, and on the 6th and 11th encountered heavy gales, accompanied by severe squalls from S. S. W. to N. N. WM with heavy seas. It will be seen from the following memorandum? for which we are indebted to the Purser, that on Thursday last the Baltic passed within five miles of the scene of tire Arctic's wreck. " On Thursday, the 12ih( at 2 P.M., Cape Race bearing S. W. by W. 70 miles, fell in with and boarded the English schooner John Clemens, who reported the total loss of the steamship Arctic on the 27th Sept., by collision with a French war steamer, both vessels sinking in a short time. Was furnished with a newspaper slip, dated St. John's, Oct. 3, giving the statement of the second officer of the Arctic, who with sixteen of the passengers and twenty-nine or the crew alone appeared to have been saved. The schooner had been dispatched from St. John's, on the 4th of Oct., by the American Consul, with directions to cruise about the vicinity of the accident for a fortnight, but up to this date had found no trace of boats or other malarial of either snip excepting the flag-staff of the Arctic. "At the time of obtaining the above information, the Baltic was within five miles of the position assigned the Actic at the time of the accident, by her second officer." The Baltic brings 222 cabin passengers-among whom are Rev. Dr. BEDELL and his wife, John VAN BUREN, Hon. J, Phillips PHOENIX AND family, Rev. E. L. MAGOON, the family of Mr. CHARLES BUTLER, and others, whose names will be found under the proper head. The news by this arrival is of the utmost interest and importance. One of the most sanguinary battles of modern times has been fought, and SEBASTOPOL HAS FALLEN ! The facts, as far as known, are that a battle took place on the river Alma—the French and English, with a loss of two thousand eight hundred killed and wounded, stormed the Russian entrenchments and drove the enemy back. The Russians appear to have made a stand on the Katscha, and another battle was fought there, the 23d September, resulting in the defeat of the Russians, who were pursued by the allies to the landward walls of Sebastopol. More fighting took place under the walls. On the 25th, Fort Constantine was invested by sea and land, and after an obstinate defence, was carried by storm. The Allies then bombarded the city and lie fleet. Ten Russian ships-of-the-line were touted and sunk; the remaining forts were coined one after another, eight hundred guns were silenced, twenty-two hundred prisoners were taken, and the Russian loss, in dead and disabled, is estimated at not less than 18,000 in Sebastopol alone. In the midst of this tremendous havoc, MENSCHIKOFF, with the shattered remains of his force, retired into a position in the inner harbor, and threatened to fire the town and blew up the remaining ships unless the victors would grant him an honorable capitulation. The allied Generals demanded his unconditional surrender, AND, in the name of humanity, gave him six hours for consideration. The six hours had not elapsed when the last advices left, but it was rumored that he had surrendered, and that the French and English flags waved over Sebastopol. LATEST.—MENSCHIKOFF has surrendered. Having given the main features of this exciting news, we proceed to give such details as had come to hand. These details, which as they are, were mostly forwarded in mere fragmentary scraps of two or three lines each to the English Government, and by the Government were communicated to the London papers and to the public. It would seem that European correspondents have yet to learn that a telegraphic dispatch can be made to contain, more than twenty words—that being about the extent of the information telegraphed to the Governments of France and England respecting events which the papers of the New-York Associated Press would have telegraphed by the column length. SEBASTOPOL. From our scanty materials we find it impossible to make anything like a connected account of the attack on Sebastopol, The dispatches published in the English papers abound in repetitions and contradictions. A dispatch from Omar Pacha to the Turkish Minister at Vienna is reported to state that: " Sebastopol is taken with all its materiel and fleet. The garrison were offered free withdrawal but preferred remaining prisoners of war” They surrendered on the 25th. Paris, Oct. 3.—It is telegraphed from Bucharest on 28th September, that Sebastopol was captured by the Allied forces on the 25th. Details are [неразборчиво] The garrison surrendered as prisoners of war. Vienna, Oct. J.—The garrison of Sebastopol, to which a free retreat, after laying down their arms was offered, preferred to remain as prisoners of war. We have no trustworthy intelligence of what part the fleet played in the conflict. One account says that ten Russian ships-of-war were burned and sunk, Another says that the fleet surrendered and took no part in the fight. Yet another states that Fort Constantine blew up, or was blown up-by shells from the English ships. And a statement is made which may have some foundation in truth, to the effect that the Russians were totally disheartened by their repeated defeats, and did tot make the protracted resistance they might have done. Their fearful loss, (18,000.) however, indicates a sufficiently brave defense. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ♦■ LONDON, Wednesday Morning—9O’CLOCK Vienna, Oct. 3—Several private dispatches received here today confirm the intelligence received from various quarters relative to the fall of Sebastopol. No official confirmation, however, has reached us ; but an official dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated the 1 inst.? Stated that advices from Prince MENSCHIKOFF of the 26th make no mention of disastrous events, causes some anxiety here. Vienna, Tuesday, Oct. 3.-Prince Menschikoff's dispatch to St. Petersburg is doubtfully dated the 20th—not the 26th, for his last dispatch was eleven days en route. The local papers publish the following : Five hours alter the bombardment, Fort Constantine blew up. Ten thousand Russians were buried in its ruins. Prince Menschikoff fled to fort [неразборчиво] unto whom we all flee in our deepest dispense — a sincere petit on for mercy [неразборчиво] Published: October 17, 1854 Copyright © The New York Times

Bastion: Я тащусь! Еще одна статейка! Cost of the Eastern War. A glance at the two years of the Eastern war,—at the battles of the Crimea, the siege of Sebastopol, and the storming of that fortress,— will show that this war is among the most san¬guinary the world lias ever seen. The loss of human life is greater than that which took place in the French and Eussian campaign of 1812, and this was greater than any which (up to that time) had been recorded in history. The fleets of both the Towers on the Black Sen have been annihilated, and the number of those capable of bearing arms in Eussia has been decimated* More than one hundred thousand of her sol¬diers moulder beneath the ruins of Sebastopol, or upon the battle-fields of Kalafat and Silis-tria? and the bills of the Alma and Tehernaya. The struggle of Sept. 8 was at the cost, oil both sides, of more lives than were lost in Napo¬leon's greatest battles, with the exception of those of Leipsig and Waterloo. The Allies employed in the bombardment of Sebastopol more ammunition than was used during the Seven-years' war by all the armies put together. The cholera alone has destroyed, in the East, a greater number of soldiers than were brought into the field by Fekdeiuck the Great in all his wars. The attack and defence have been carried on with a perseverance, a cold-blooded contempt for life, an expenditure of invention and means, which never before in the history of war had been brought together in any one action, or in any place in the world. All the acquisitions of modern science and tactics, the fortunate re¬sults of a long peace, have been here for the first time employed to the very extent of their capabilities. Eussia contrived to make the most of the little civilization which she has imported so slowly and with so much toil, and has been equally skillful in making use of the fanaticism of her barbarous races. But Eussia was beaten, because the amount of her means did not equal the amount of the civilized resources of the Allies. She could not bring into the field the same number of propellers, of good marksmen and ammunition, of intelligent oflicers and sub-officers, which the Western Towers had at their command; and was obliged to toil along with her old and clumsy methods of transport, her ox-carts and drays, whilst the Allies were more rapidly and abundantly sirpplied by means of a well arranged railroad, and a perfectly directed line of steamers. She was beaten because mere brute force and ignorant religious fanaticism can never stand before real culture. And she will fall more and more into the background in presence of the Allies, the longer the war lasts. The stores of war material collected with so much toil, and during so many years in- the military school$> the repositories and fortresses, will soon disappear before the mass of those far more numerous and efficient,. employed by the Allies. And Eussia will not be able to replace her losses-in officers and supplies, as easily or as quickly as her opponents. She cannot build herself new steamers upon her docks, like Great Britain; she cannot take foam the ranks of her uneducated soldiers men fit for heads of bat¬talions or even to form a serviceable company, like France. She cannot even repair her roads,. nor carry out her projecte&iines of railroad, for want of engineers, workmen and money. Finally, the remarkable fact has become cvi-dent, that Eussia, by reason of her wretched means of transport and her great distances, cannot bring her troops and supplies upon the scene of action as certainly or as promptly as the Allies, notwithstanding the latter are separated by thousands of miles from their homes, and that Eussia is- carrying on the war in her own country. These are results open, to the most cursory observation,—and they afford convincing evi¬dence of the fact, that although the war may entail enormous expense of life and treasure upon the Western Powers,—although Sussia may protract it indefinitely and invofre her enemies in great embarrassment, yet the blow will in the end fall most heavily upon ber. As a military power, she will be more severely and permanently crippled, than they. Eb* Jfetir flprk Elmos Published: November 13, 1855 Copyright © The New York Times Блин!
