Chapter 2 … Meath and Dublin. Chapter 3 … London, Philadelphia. Chapter 4 … North Sea and Bergen. Chapter 5 … Hamburg. Chapter 6 … London. Chapter 7 … Dublin. Chapter 8 … Lifford. Chapter 9 … Bordeaux. Historical Note. Principal Sources. J J J J J I I I I I Introduction I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand, How is dear old Ireland, and how does she stand? It's the most disgraceful country that I have ever seen, They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green . —Anon, 1798 If you ask most people today, they will never have heard of Napper Tandy, unless they are Irish. Then they may, just MAY, remember the words of the ballad quoted above. By way of introduction, some words on the state of Ireland in general and Dublin in particular in the second half of the 18th century, the backdrop against which much of this story is painted, may be of interest. If not, skip forward to Chapter 1. It was in many respects a lawless place, quite literally, for there was no effective police force until well into the 19th century. And yet they were an extremely litigious crowd, those Georgian Irish. They fought with their tongues and their pens with great skill. But equally they fought with their swords and their pistols too.

These latest plaques are spread across Ulster, from Newry in the south east, to the north west in Co Donegal. Apart from our busy plaque activities, the Circle has been hard at work enhancing the New Dictionary of Ulster Biography. All our work is unpaid, and Circle members meet regularly in committee every month, as fundraising and planning the plaques are always on-going activities, with the summer months often busy with events. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Circle committee for their support and their valued contributions throughout the year. A voluntary body like ours depends entirely on the continuing commitment of its committee members. On behalf of the Circle I would also like to record how much we appreciate the generosity of our funders: many of the City and District Councils, and those individuals, organisations, and businesses without whose help and support the Circle could not continue in its work commemorating and celebrating the many distinguished people from, or significantly connected with, Ulster, who are exemplified by those remembered this year.

  • American Influence in Ireland
    ^American Influence in Ireland, 1760 to 1800 p until the time of the American Revolution, British expan- sion had largely been concerned with the American colonies U and Ireland. These two possessions differed greatly in two respects—namely, geography and the length of time each had been under English control. As Ireland was geographically a part of the British Isles, distance in no way lessened supervision of the English over this neighboring island. On the other hand, the American colonies were separated from the homeland by a wide expanse of ocean which increased the difficulty of any close direction of activi- ties. As for the length of time each had been under, or considered under, English jurisdiction, Ireland had been regarded as a possession of Great Britain more than four times as long as the oldest of the American plantations. In spite of these two differences, there were many similarities in the positions held by Ireland and America during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Both were considered as markets for English manufactured goods and as sources of raw materials and products of which there was a shortage in England. Neither was permitted eco- nomic development except in so far as it could be co-ordinated with English plans. The Acts of Navigation, Acts of Trade, and other legislation applied equally to both. Both countries were thought of as colonies or plantations; in each the administrative personnel was English appointed. Legislative bodies were elected to handle domes- tic matters, but they met at the desire of the governors who had been named by the*British.
