Teylers Museum was founded in 1784 and soon thereafter became one of the most important centres of Dutch science. The Museum's first director, Martinus van Marum, famously had the world's largest electrostatic generator built and set up in Haarlem. This subsequently became the most prominent item in the Museum's world-class, publicly accessible, and constantly growing collections. These comprised scientific instruments, mineralogical and palaeontological specimens, prints, drawings, paintings, and coins. Van Marum's successors continued to uphold the institution's prestige and use the collections for research purposes, while it was increasingly perceived as an art museum by the public. In the early twentieth century, the Nobel Prize laureate Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was appointed head of the scientific instrument collection and conducted experiments on the Museum's premises. Showcasing Science: A History of Teylers Museum in the Nineteenth Century charts the history of Teylers Museum from its inception until Lorentz' tenure. From the vantage point of the Museum's scientific instrument collection, this book gives an analysis of the changing public role of Teylers Museum over the course of the nineteenth century.

International trade flows are largely governed by multilateral agreements reached at the World Trade Organization, but no comparable rules exist for investment. In its place, the bilateral investment treaty (BIT) has emerged over the past several decades as the primary means for promoting and regulating foreign direct investment flows. This report provides an overview of the U.S. BIT program and highlights two issues that may be of additional congressional interest: the impact of BITs on U.S. direct investment abroad and whether U.S. BITs promote economic reform in partner countries. It will be updated as events warrant.
