KEEBAUGH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Aaron C. Keebaugh 2 ―I received a letter from the American Quarter Horse Association saying that I was the only member on their list who actually doesn‘t own a horse.‖—Jim Logg to Ernest the Sincere from Love Never Dies in Punxsutawney To James E. Schoenfelder 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A project such as this one could easily go on forever. That said, I wish to thank many people for their assistance and support during the four years it took to complete this dissertation. First, I thank the members of my committee—Dr. Larry Crook, Dr. Paul Richards, Dr. Joyce Davis, and Dr. Jessica Harland-Jacobs—for their comments and pointers on the written draft of this work. I especially thank my committee chair, Dr. David Z. Kushner, for his guidance and friendship during my graduate studies at the University of Florida the past decade. I have learned much from the fine example he embodies as a scholar and teacher for his students in the musicology program. I also thank the University of Florida Center for European Studies and Office of Research, both of which provided funding for my travel to London to conduct research at the British Library. I owe gratitude to the staff at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. for their assistance in locating some of the materials in the Victor Herbert Collection. -

Thomas Peel Dunhill, the Forgotten Man of Thyroid Surgery
THOMAS PEEL DUNHILL, THE FORGOTTEN MAN OF THYROID SURGERY by I. D. A. VELLAR* THE MODERN surgeon approaches the surgery of thyrotoxicosis with confidence, the confidence derived from the excellence of modem anaesthesia, the euthyroid state of the patient and the knowledge that blood transfusion, antibiotics and the specific management of the occasional crisis are always available to extricate the patient from any of these complications. Though full of confidence in his own and others' abilities, he usually matches this by a profound ignorance of the contribution of the thyroid pioneers whose activities at the turn of the century helped to lay the foundation for the safe management of the thyrotoxic. One of these pioneers was an Australian, Thomas Peel Dunhill (fig. 1), whose contributions to thyroid surgery have been almost entirely forgotten. To understand fully the role of Dunhill, it is important to look at the position of thyroid surgery and in particular, the surgery of toxic goitre at the turn of the nineteenth century and in the first two decades of the twentieth century. It will then be possible to appreciate more fully the achievements of these thyroid pioneers, who enabled the mortality of the surgery of toxic goitre to be reduced from 30-50 per cent (it was 30 per cent at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, as recently as 1910) to a minute fraction of one per cent today. The early history of the surgery of the thyroid gland may be traced in Halsted's painstaking compilations included in his article. 'The operative story of goitre- the author's operation' in the Johns Hopkins Hospital Reports, 1920.1 However, the recognition of goitre goes back many thousands of years. -
Castletown List 55
National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 55 Lord Castletown Papers (Mss 35,295-332) (Accession 2503) Compiled by Mary Colley, 2000 The papers of Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, consisting of correspondence and papers mainly relating to his literary and cultural activities and his political involvements. There is also a relatively small amount of material relating to the management of his estates. Introduction The Lord Castletown Papers were mainly generated by Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, who was descended from a branch of the illustrious family of Mac Giolla Phádraig. In Gaelic times this branch of the FitzPatricks ruled the area of the present counties Laois and Kilkenny, successive heads of the family being styled chiefs or lords of Upper Ossory. The chiefs were generally politically adroit, and managed to retain their extensive estates even in the most adverse circumstances. For instance, in the reign of Henry VIII, Barnaby (or Bryan) FitzPatrick made a timely submission, whereupon he had his estates re-granted and was subsequently created Baron of Upper Ossory, a title that remained in the family for a century and a half. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, heads of the family were again ennobled and held the titles Baron Gowran and Earl of Upper Ossory. Following a break in the succession, in 1869 John Wilson FitzPatrick was created 1st Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory. On his death in 1883, his only son, Bernard, succeeded to the title as 2nd Lord Castletown, and inherited the extensive family estate based on Granston Manor in Queen's County, the present Co. -
Works by Robert Graves in Special Collections, University of Otago Library 2012
Robert Graves Poeta 1895-1985 Works by Robert Graves in Special Collections, University of Otago Library 2012 1 There is no now for us but always, Nor any I but we – Who have loved only and love only From the hilltops to the sea In our long turbulence of nights and days: A calendar from which no lover strays In proud perversity. Envoi. (Collected Poems, 1975) On the headstone that marks his grave at Deyá, Marjorca, there is the simple: ‘Robert Graves Poeta 1895-1985’. And it was this aspect that attracted Charles Brasch, editor, patron and poet, to the works of Graves, calling him ‘among the finest English poets of our time, one of the few who is likely to be remembered as a poet.’ Indeed, not only did Brasch collect his own first editions volumes written by Graves, but he encouraged the University of Otago Library to buy more. Thanks to Brasch, Special Collections at the University of Otago now has an extensive collection of works (poetry, novels, essays, children’s books) by him. Born at Wimbledon in 1895, Graves had an Irish father, a German mother, an English upbringing, and a classical education. Enlisting in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, Graves faced the horrors of World War I. He was wounded by shrapnel, left for dead and later able to read his own obituary in The London Times. In 1929, he penned Goodbye To All That, his war-time autobiography which gave him success and fame. And aside from his regular output of poetry books, he wrote historical novels such as I Claudius (1934) and Claudius the God (1934), The White Goddess (1948), the heady study on matriarchal worship and poetry that in the sixties became a source book for readers of the Whole Earth Catalog, and the very successful The Greek Myths (1955). -

Penelope's Irish Experiences BY Kate Douglas Wiggin Penelope's Irish Experiences by Kate Douglas Wiggin. Published 1901. To my first Irish friend, Jane Barlow. Contents. 'Sure a terrible time I was out o' the way, Over the sea, over the sea, Till I come to Ireland one sunny day,- Betther for me, betther for me: The first time me fut got the feel o' the ground I was strollin' along in an Irish city That hasn't its aquil the world around For the air that is sweet an' the girls that are pretty.' --Moira O'Neill. Dublin, O'Carolan's Private Hotel. It is the most absurd thing in the world that Salemina, Francesca, and I should be in Ireland together. That any three spinsters should be fellow-travellers is not in itself extraordinary, and so our former journeyings in England and Scotland could hardly be described as eccentric in any way; but now that I am a matron and Francesca is shortly to be married, it is odd, to say the least, to see us cosily ensconced in a private sitting-room of a Dublin hotel, the table laid for three, and not a vestige of a man anywhere to be seen. Where, one might ask, if he knew the antecedent circumstances, are Miss Hamilton's American spouse and Miss Monroe's Scottish lover? Francesca had passed most of the winter in Scotland. Her indulgent parent had given his consent to her marriage with a Scotsman, but insisted that she take a year to make up her mind as to which particular one. -
Trinity Medicine: 1711-2011
TRINITY MEDICINE POISED FOR FURTHER SUCCESS For centuries, the Trinity College Dublin School of Medicine has contributed to medical education, research and practice not just in Ireland but at a global level. Eminent physicians such as William Stokes and Robert Graves not only wrote the textbooks used in medical education around the world but were the clinical researchers of their day, identifying and describing the conditions that to this day bear their names. These were the medical leaders of their time and we intend to preserve their legacy by educating and preparing exceptional doctors who can lead the profession in the 21st century. Furthermore, it is our responsibility will help improve and save the lives of academics to help us leverage the to ensure that excellence in medical many.

IVRLA1 RESEARCH REPORT: THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL AND CHEMICAL SCIENCE CATALOGUE John Mullen and Harriet Wheelock (Researchers) 1. CONTEXT The aim of this project is to provide a full and complete catalogue of The Dublin Journal of Medical and Chemical Science (DJMS)2 from its establishment in 1832 to 1949. DJMS is the longest established medical periodical in Ireland, and is an invaluable source for the history and development of medicine in Ireland. Amongst its contributors and editors are some of the most famous Irish medical practitioners of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In their survey of the literature on Irish medical history Malcolm and Jones have shown that in the past histories of medicine of Ireland have tended to be narrowly focused on institutions, biography and public health, and to be descriptive in nature (1). This project aims to open up DJMS as a source for medical historians who are developing an analytical and contextual approach to their subject, and will hopefully develop further interest in the history of Irish medical publications. -
