  • Young Citizen Volunteers 10Th September 1912 the Young Citizen Volunteers
    Young Citizen Volunteers 10th September 1912 The Young Citizen Volunteers Introduction Lance-Corporal Walter Ferguson , aged 24, of 14th Royal Irish Rifles died (according to the website of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission) on 8 July 1916, although the marble tablet erected in All Saints Parish Church, University Street, Belfast, by his sorrowing father states he was ‘killed in action on 1 July 1916’. It seems very probable that he died a slow and possibly painful death from wounds sustained on 1 July and in captivity because he is buried in Caudry Old Communal Cemetery which was then in German-held territory. Walter’s family did not learn of his death immediately. They sought news of him in the Belfast Evening Telegraph of 18 July 1916: No news has been received regarding L’ce Corporal Walter Ferguson (14596) YCVs since before the Big Push and his relatives, who reside at 2 Collingwood Road, Belfast, are very anxious about him and would be grateful for any information. In civil life he was a bookbinder … News from the Front often trickled home agonizingly slowly. For example, the Northern Whig of 27 July 1916 reveals another Belfast family anxious to learn the fate of their son, also a lance-corporal in 14th Royal Irish Rifles and a member of the YCV: Revd John Pollock (St Enoch’s Church), 7 Glandore Park, Antrim Road, will be glad to receive any information regarding his son Lance-corporal Paul G Pollock, scout, Royal Irish Rifles (YCV), B Company, who had engaged in the advance of the Ulster Division on 1st July last, and has been ‘missing’ since that date.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY A Pennsylvania Farmer at the Court of King George John Dickinson's London Letters, 1754-1756 HE modern American political scene has long been dominated by lawyers. The legal profession has contributed many more Tthan its share of presidents, senators, and congressmen; occasionally, a good lawyer even finds a berth on the Supreme Court. But the lawyer's proclivity for politics is far from new. With a few notable exceptions (such as Samuel Adams and Benjamin Franklin), the American revolutionary leadership of the 1760's and I77o's was predominantly legal in its professional affiliation. Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Adams, James Otis, Daniel Dulany, Jr., William Henry Dray ton, and James Wilson, to offer a selection, were all practicing lawyers at one time or another. They found that their legal education served them extraordinarily well in resolving the proper relationship of their respective provinces to the mother country. Their legal training unquestionably colored their political thinking. As David Ramsay explained in 1789, "no order of men has, in all ages, been more favorable to liberty, than lawyers." When entering the political arena, Ramsay continued, lawyers operated 241 1<\1 H. TREVOR COLBOURN July with a special skill and technique: "while others judge of bad princi- ples by the actual grievances they occasion, lawyers discover them at a distance, and trace future mischiefs from gilded innovations."1 Surprisingly little attention has been given to the lawyer's role in the American Revolution, or to American legal history generally, despite the accuracy of Edmund Burke's remark that "in no country perhaps in the world is the law so general a study/'2 One explanation for this historical delinquency might well be the complexity of the lawyer's craft.

  • The Earl of Thomond's 1615 Survey of Ibrickan, Co
    McInerney Thomond 15/1/14 10:52 AM Page 173 North Munster Antiquarian Journal vol. 53, 2013 173 The Earl of Thomond’s 1615 Survey of Ibrickan, Co. Clare LUKE McINERNEY A transcription and discussion of an early seventeenth century survey of a Co. Clare barony. The chief value of the document is that it represents the earliest rent-roll detailing the Earl of Thomond’s estate in Co. Clare and merits study not least because it is one of the most comprehensive surveys of its type for early seventeenth century Co. Clare. Furthermore, it may be used to ascertain the landholding matrix of Ibrickan and to identify the chief tenants. Presented here is a survey undertaken of the barony of Ibrickan in Co. Clare in 1615.1 The survey covered the entire 63 quarters of the barony. It is lodged at Petworth House archive among the collection of Thomond Papers there.2 At present, our understanding of the changes in landholding for Ibrickan is hindered by the fact that the returns in the 1641 Books of Survey and Distribution3 show that by that time proprietorship of the barony was exclusively in the hands of the Earl of Thomond and few under-tenants are recorded. Having a full list of the chief tenants which dates from the second decade of the seven- teenth century augments our understanding of the changes wrought to landholding, inheritance and social relations in Gaelic regions at a critical juncture in Irish history following the battle of Kinsale. This 1615 survey of part of the extensive estate of the Earl of Thomond serves to focus our gaze at a lower echelon of Gaelic society.

  • Richard II and the Irish Kings
    2017 IV Richard II and the Irish Kings Darren McGettigan Dublin: Four Court Press, 2016 Review by: David Green Review: Richard II and the Irish Kings Richard II and the Irish Kings. By Darren McGettigan. Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2016. ISBN 978-1-84682-602-3. 232 pp. £17.50. he dramatis personae at the centre of McGettigan’s book are three late medieval Irish kings: Art MacMurchadha Caomhánach (1375– 1416/17), Niall Mór ÓNéill (1364–97), and Niall Óg ÓNéill T (1397–1403). These men, rulers respectively of the Irish of the Leinster mountains, of Tyrone, and high-king of Ireland, were among the most successful monarchs during the so-called Gaelic resurgence of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Nor was their political significance confined to Ireland given that they were the focus of Richard II’s ill-fated campaign of 1399 that played a significant role in his deposition. The book forms part of what is now a long-standing historiographical trend to draw together both Gaelic and Anglo-Irish sources and perspectives to present a more holistic picture of events in later medieval Ireland. This approach has been pursued by scholars such as Robin Frame, Seán Duffy, Brendan Smith and Peter Crooks (works by the last of these is rather under- represented in the sources consulted by the author in this book). McGettigan’s work also follows in the path of studies that have paid particular attention to Richard’s expeditions across the Irish Sea—those by James Lydon and Dorothy Johnston are among the most notable.
