The first time,'' he says in his Autobiography, I could scrape a few shillings together, I bought unto myself a copy of I I half these beloved volumes ; nor do believe ever read a book so frequently or with half the enthusiasm." This alone would be a reason, were one to seek, for maintaining the book among our secondary British classics. Thomas Percy, who became event- ually Bishop of Dromore, was born, a grocer's son, at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, April 13, 1729. His name as originally spelt sug- a derivative the and Border Pierce's but he gests from Welsh ; was willing to remember that a grocer's son might be descended from an earl ; and he did his best to establish his connection with the great Northumberland Percys. He became, indeed, to of then to chaplain the Duke Northumberland, and the King ; before he was preferred to the deanery of Carlisle. His next step was to Dromore. It seems to have been Macpherson's Ossian, published in 1762-3, which gave Percy his idea of the " Reliques," as a consequence of the discovery of an old folio at Shifnall in Shropshire. (See edition of this folio Manuscript, edited by Prof. J. W. Hales and Dr. Furnivall in 1867 and 1868 : which contains also a Life of Percy by the Rev. J. Pick- " ford.) In producing his Reliques," Percy found many willing contributors his and helpers among poetic contemporaries ; and he met with some hard knocks from his critics, especially from Dr. Johnson, who was unfair, and Ritson, who was rancorous. It may be said that his very faults as a scientific editor helped to give life to his book, and to enrich its romantic atmosphere- Percy is said to have been a good bishop, faithful, earnest and vii viii Editor's Note extremely kind-hearted. —He died in 1811. A list of his published works follows : Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, consisting of Old Heroic Ballads, Songs, and other Pieces of our Earlier Poets (chiefly of the Lyric kind), together with some few of the later date, 3 vols., Dodsley, 1765; Dublin, 1766; second edition, 3 vols., Dodsley, 1767; third edition, 3 vols., an edition in the 1775 ; appeared London and Frankfort, omitting dedi- cation and fourth edited Bishop Percy's name, 1790-91 ; edition, by Thomas fifth Percy, 3 vols., 1794; Frankfort, 1803 ; edition, 3 vols., 1812, 1830, 1844, 1857; 1839; Ed.

But, although it was sufficiently a of the with the public, and had long been out print, original Editor had no desire to revive it. More important pursuits had, his attention and the as might be expected, engaged ; present edition would have remained unpublished, had he not yielded to the importunity of his friends, and accepted the humble offer of an Editor in a Nephew, to whom, it is feared, he will be found too partial. These volumes are now restored to the public with such corrections and improvements as have occurred since the former and the Text in hath been emended in impression ; particular many passages by recurring to the old copies. The instances noted in the being frequently trivial, are not always margin ; but the alteration hath never been made without good reason : the folio and especially in such pieces as were extracted from Manuscript so often mentioned in the following pages, where any variation occurs from the former impression, it will be understood to have been given on the authority of that Manuscript.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

This younger colleague was Joseph Glanvill, and Beale remarked that if Glanvill kept “off Origen,” his work might be successful. Glanvill, Beale added,“hath a flowry pen, & may doe well if we can ballaste him from Origenian Platonisme & Extravagant adven- tures.”1 Beale was referring to the teachings of the Church Father Origen of Alexandria, which had long been a part of a theological legacy with which independent-minded thinkers and scholars were able to combat the bleak orthodoxies of Augustinian an- thropology.

INTRODUCTIOJJ The place of woman in literature has changed with the change in the type of literature. Her importance has increased as the motivating idea of the literature has changed from one of war and epic enterprises to one of chivalry and knightly tournaments. With the development in the importance of woman has come an in- crease in her influence and a more decided characterization. In the earliest English literature ahe is only a figure in the back- ground of the setting; it is not until time and custom have changed the literature that she becomes an active personality in the progression of the story. In taking up this study of woman in epic and romance, I shall firrt show her position in the epic,- .

Thomas Percy: The Dilemma of a Scholar-Cleric Bertram H. Davis "I bestow upon a few old poems," Thomas Percy wrote to David Dalrymple on 25 January 1763, "those idle moments, which some of my grave brethren pass away over a sober game at whist."1 How Dalrymple reacted to Percy's analogy is not known, but the modern reader is likely to dismiss it as a facetious if not wholly insincere depreciation of Percy's own efforts, which were pointing toward the publication of England's most influential anthology, the three­ volume Reliques of Ancient English Poetry. Percy's "idle moments" filled up much more than the odd hours and occasional evenings his comment would suggest: mornings and afternoons in the British Museum, for example; eleven days at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where Percy transcribed ballads from the Samuel Pepys collection of black letter broadsides; and important literary correspondences with poets and scholars like William Shenstone, Richard Farmer, Thomas Warton, Evan Evans, and David Dalrymple himself.
