  • Richard Elmore's Letters to the Earl of Darnley
    Richard Elmore’s Letters to the Earl of Darnley Edited and with an introduction by Caoimhín de Bhailís Richard Elmore M.D. M.R.C.S. Attributed to Alfred Elmore, R.A. (Private collection) 1 John Bligh, 4th Earl of Darnley Attributed to Thomas Phillips, National Trust Mount Stewart, Scotland. 2 Introduction Richard John Elmore is one of the many nineteenth century political campaigners who have fallen out of view and hence consideration when we discuss the history of the period. Elmore was an activist who made valuable contributions to the debate on Catholic Emancipation and also a campaigner that sought improvements in the economic relationships that existed between Ireland and the rest of the then United Kingdom, as Ireland was a part of the Empire at the time. He was a close friend of Daniel O‘Connell and a director of the National Irish Bank; he was a defender of his Catholic business associates and, for a period, a major employer of linen workers at his factory n Clonakilty, Co. Cork. Richard as born in around 1785 and took his first appointment as a hospital assistant with the 1st Garrison Battalion in January 1807.1 According to Elmore he had moved to Clonakilty around 1807 with the intention of practicing as a physician, however he could ill afford to continue to practice as he often had to provide his services without charging a fee due to the poverty amongst the peasantry and he was ‗obliged frequently to put my hand into my own pocket; no man could possibly avoid it that possessed one spark of humanity in his 1 WO 25/75/92.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

The following Sketches — for they pretend to little more than the word imports — were, at the time they were penned, thrown off without any intention of seeking for literary fame as the result of their publication. I entreat my readers to bear this in remem brance. The earlier ones appeared in a legal weekly periodical at the end of last year, and were received with some favour by many of its readers. I was subsequently advised to collect them in a separate form, to re-cast, and to enlarge them, as better adapted for more general circulation and perusal. This I have now done, and have added perhaps the more attractive feature to the Essays — Photographic Portraits of the eminent men upon whose lives and talents I have thus ventured to comment.

Here, it might also mean (if the artist is being subversive), ‘I Have Suffered’, which Caroline and the radicals certainly had; or, it might stand for ‘In hoc signo vinces’ – ‘with this as your standard you shall have vic- tory’, hinting at the odd relationship between this Queen and republican radicals. 3.

"The Heraldry of the Preface. THE Hamiltons, so far as trustworthy evidence goes, cannot equal in descent either the Stewarts or Douglases, their history beginning about two hundred years later than that of the former, and one hundred years later than that of the latter ; still their antiquity is considerable. In the introduction to the first chapter I have dealt with the suggested earlier origin of the family. The Hamiltons were conspicuous in their loyalty to Queen Mary, and, judging by the number of marriages between members of the different branches, they were also loyal to their race. Throughout their history one hears little of the violent deeds which charac- terised the Stewarts and Douglases, and one may truthfully say the race has generally been a peaceful one.
