  • Get Dr Clague. Dr John Clague As Collector of Manx Charms
    DOI: 10.7592/Incantatio2012_1_Miller Get Dr Clague. Dr John Clague as Collector of Manx Charms GET DR CLAGUE. DR JOHN CLAGUE AS COLLECTOR OF MANX CHARMS Stephen Miller Dr John Clague (1842–1908) was a medical practitioner in the Isle of Man as well as a folklore and folk song collector. His mother was a herbal healer as was Clague before commencing his medical studies. Clague’s posthumously published reminiscences in 1911 contain the largest collection of charms (13) published to date as well as details of his encounters with charmers and healers during his rounds. Published with facing pages of Manx Gaelic and English (the two languages of the Island in this period) the question arises as to which language the charms were originally collected in. Surviving is a manuscript notebook con- taining texts of six of the charms; two others are known in Manx from earlier church court records. Clague’s collecting does not exhaust the material for the Island. There is one other contemporary collector, namely Sophia Morrison, whose manuscript material remains inedited and unpublished. Other material that remains to be examined are the printed and manuscript collections of the Manx National Heritage Library, especially the Manx Museum Folk-Life Survey. It is hoped that all this material can be gathered together at some date in a charm catalogue allowing its use by the wider community of charm scholars. Key words: Isle of Man, Manx Gaelic, English, Dr John Clague (1842–1908), Charm Collecting, Late 19th Century INTRODUCTION In 1949, Charles Corrin, a former blacksmith in the Isle of Man, was inter- viewed by the Manx Museum Folk Life Survey and recalled both charming and Dr John Clague: Once a man servant of Balladoole, Faragher, cut his hand deeply another told my brother “Well, Johnny, I would never believe it before but I’ve got to now as I have seen it done.

  • Isaac Barrow: Builder of Foundations for a Modern Nation
    Isaac Barrow: builder of foundations for a modern nation The church, education and society in the Isle of Man, 1660-1800 Thesis submitted in accordance with the regulations of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael John Hoy April 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the contribution made to the political, ecclesiastical and social development of the Isle of Man by Isaac Barrow, bishop of Sodor and Man (1663-71) and governor (1664-69). The condition of the Island and its people after the civil wars and interregnum is described and the nature and scope of the challenges faced by Barrow are assessed. Barrow’s vision for the people in his care and the pastoral and educational strategies he adopted to better their moral, spiritual and social condition are described, and his motives in introducing his wide-ranging reforms are considered. The civil legislation enacted during his administration and the ecclesiastical legislation which he initiated are analysed, and the immediate and longer term effects of his reforms are evaluated. Barrow identified two key targets for reform: improved education and conditions for the parish clergy; and the provision of English elementary schools for every boy and girl, with grammar and academic schools for the most able. Barrow’s skill in exploiting four different sources of funds and setting up well-constructed endowment instruments to ensure effective investment management is considered, and the quality and consistency of the oversight of schools and other aspects of pastoral and social care provided by the clergy and the courts are also evaluated.
