THE DUBLIN SOCIETY’S WEEKLY OBSERVATIONS for the Advancement of Agriculture and Manufactures. Glasgow: Printed and Sold by Robert & Andrew Foulis, 1756, with 4 folding engraved plates, light offsetting of text onto plates, pp. [iv], 323, 12mo, contemporary sheep, worn at extremities and some scuffing to sides, lettering piece defective, still a good copy, contemporary blue printed book label inside front cover, the name, within a cartouche, erased, portion snipped from upper outer corner of front free endpaper, leaving however the place name Aberdeen, stamp of the Lawes Agricultural Library (= Rothamsted) inside both covers and on front free end-paper (Gaskell 313; 2 ESTC entries, T134145 and T134146) £1,750 Rare Foulis reprint of the original Dublin edition of 1737-38 (collected issue), not in Perkins. The society was founded by members of the Dublin Philosophical Society, chiefly Thomas Prior, as the ‘Dublin Society for improving Husbandry, Manufactures and other Useful Arts’ in 1731, becoming the Royal Dublin Society (remaining so) in 1820. There are a handful of copies recorded by ESTC in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, Cornell only in the US. A pencil inscription on the front free end-paper speculatively attributes the volume to Bishop Berkeley: a nice idea, not entirely beyond the realms of possibility, but without basis in fact. It is true however that Thomas Prior was a lifelong friend of the philosopher. There was a French translation in 1759. 2. Alderson (R.) Lines Written and Printed at the Request of a Friend, by whom the Melancholy Story is related. To which are added, Lines to the Author of an Answer to the above; with a fragment of a poem, called My Native Dale. The whole of which shall be published at some future Period. Newcastle upon Tyne: Printed by R. T. Edgar, 1825, hole at inner margin of title-page repaired, tear to [A]2 repaired, loss of a couple of letters on verso, B2 frayed at foot, pencilled word to p.13 and p.15, pencilled notes to endpaper (see below), browned and/or dust-soiled around the edges, pp. 16, 8vo, 19th- century green half calf with marbled boards, flat spine lettered longitudinally in gilt direct, bookplate of Charles William Bigge to pastedown (Not in Johnson) £750 Second edition. The first edition, published in the same year, is rare, wih only 2 copies in the BL recorded in COPAC: that edition consisted of only 8 pages. Here, at the foot of p. 8, is the mark of the printer, and so we suppose that the first part of the volume is in fact a re-issue. A number of words added in pencil look as if they might be authorial corrections, but the notes on the endpaper are in a different hand: this comprises a league table of poets referred to in the text, Burns at the top with 14 mentions. The author of “Lines to R. Alderson”, who has scant regard for Alderson’s effort, suggests that Burns’s penchant ‘to seek a solitude in some wild glen ... to wail, unheard’ was proof that Burns was not one ‘who drinks, like other stupid boors, Stiff whisky punch until his mind is blank’, since the drunkard cannot make it out of doors. 3. Anacreon. Odai, kai ta Sapphous, kai Erinnas leipsana. Edinburgh: Apud Hamilton, Balfour, & Neill, 1754, part of prelims bound after second title-page, some foxing 3 and soiling around the edges, pp. [iv], 72, 8, 76, 24mo, contemporary sprinkled calf, rebacked preserving original backstrip, endpapers renewed, good (ESTC T200306) £400 A scarce and attractive near-miniature edition of Anacreon, similar to the Foulis edition of 1751, but with a Latin translation following the Greek text. ESTC locates 5 copies in the UK (NLS, Paxton House, Manchester, Leeds, and Winchester College), plus the Newberry Library and Stanford. Another issue, containing only half the volume (i.e. without the Latin translation), is also recorded in three of those plus 2 other locations (BL and Mills College). 4. (Aristotle.) MORA (Gabriele, Franciscan Friar) Tractatus in universos libros philosophie Arist: seu de naturali auscultatione juxta rectissimam viam subt. Doct. Johannis Duns Scoti a Pre fre Gabriele Mora ... Sardinia: 1652-53, manuscript in ink on paper, in Latin, damp-staining in the upper half with resultant worming in the first half, several leaves strengthened at upper inner corner, the first 3 leaves defective at head, repaired, with minimal loss of text, ff. [iii], 268, 4to, 20th-century vellum over boards, overlapping fore-edges £1,800 A comprehensive natural philosophy by a Franciscan of Sardinia. The text is preceded by Oratio ante studium, and this by a code game, in Spanish, involving mixing up the names of a husband and wife according to a numerical code. 5. (Babbage.) MR. BABBAGE’S CALCULATING MACHINE. Edinburgh: William and Robert Chambers, August 23, 1834, Contined in Chambers’ Edinburgh Journal, No.134, in a complete Vol. III of the Journal, preliminaries a little foxed, the complete vol. pp. [iv], 416, folio, original publisher’s cloth backed boards, printed paper label, minor wear, good £550 A review and exposition of Babbage’s own article concerning the Calculating Machine in the 120th Number of the Edinburgh Review. This was in the wake of the collapse of the Difference Engine project. 6. (Banks and Banking. Scotland. Glasgow.) CLYDESDALE BANKING COMPANY. Contract of Copartnery of the ... Glasgow: James Lumsden and Son, 1838, a trifle browned, and a few minor blemishes, pp. 70, [2, blank], 8vo, original moiré green cloth, lettered in gilt on the upper cover with the arms of Glasgow at the centre, gilt edges, lower cover a little stained, a trifle faded (Goldsmiths 30434) £400 The foundation document of one of 3 Scottish banks that still issue their own banknotes (though the Clydesdale is no longer an independent entity). James Lumsden, the printer, was the driving force behind the foundation: he was later Lord Provost of Glagow. COPAC records but 4 copies, Glasgow, NLS, Senate House, Sheffield: no more in WorldCat. The first appearance of Peter Pan 7. Barrie (J. M.) The Little White Bird. Hodder and Stoughton, 1902, FIRST EDITION, frontispiece map of Kensington Gardens, pp. viii, 312, 8vo, original navy buckram, backstrip lettered in gilt, a few faint spots to fore-edge, t.e.g., contemporary ownership inscription to flyleaf, very good (Garland 32) £250 4 8. [Benson (Joseph)] The Battle of Flodden-Field. Which was fought between the English under the Earl of Surrey, (In the absence of King Henry VIII.) and the Scots under their valiant King James IV. Who was slain on the Field of Battle, in the year, 1513. An Heroic Ooem, in nine fits or parts. Collected from antient manuscripts.Preston: Printed and Sold by W. Stuart, 1773, bound without the half-title, minor browning, verso of last leaf slightly soiled, pp. ii, 116, 12mo, contemporary tree calf, corners worn, rebacked (ESTC N32357) £850 ‘Literary interest in the events of September 1513 started early. The earliest printed poem appears in 1664 [Wing F1365, ‘Floddan Field]. The author, Joseph Benson, a declared philomath, was an adherent of the Stanley family and is very clearly writing from an English perspective. His nineteenth-centry editor [there was an edition in 1805, printed in Lancaster] asserts he had access to an earlier source held within that family but omits any details. Benson’s poems seems odd now since it misses out two elements which rapidly became part of the Flodden story: the chivalrous nature of Scotland’s king, and the duplicitous nature of Lady Elizabeth Heron of Ford’ (Sadler and Serdiville, The Battle of Flodden). In the present edition there are notes by the unnamed editor which, among other things, signalises the role of Sir Edward Stanley. The Stanley family lived at Lathom in Lancashire, and hence we may suppose had some hand in the local editions. Of the 1773 edition ESTC records NLS, Columbia, and Folger, and of the 1774 Preston edition, Harvard only. The London edition of 1774, also Printed and Sold by W. Stuart, is commoner. Curiously, there is another 19th-century edition, published in ‘Ancient Historical Ballads’, Newcastle, 1807, woodcut by Bewick (Tattersfield TB 2.19). In this edition, ‘The Battle of Floddon’, the text is said to be ‘published from a curious manuscript in the possession of James Askew, of Palins-Burn, Northumberland’, edited, with (quite different) notes, by Robert Lambe, Vicar of Norham upon Tweed, and his dedication is dated Jan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Episode 116: The Celtic Fringe . 1 Episode 117: What’s In A Name . 18 Episode 118: Trade Names . 34 Episode 119: The Road to War . 52 Episode 120: The End of the World . .. 72 EPISODE 116: THE CELTIC FRINGE Welcome to the History of English Podcast – a podcast about the history of the English language. This is Episode 116: The Celtic Fringe. In this episode, we’re going to turn our attention to the state of English beyond the borders of England in the parts of the British Isles where Celtic languages were traditionally spoken. The spread of English into those regions was mostly a result of military conquest, and most of those regions had experienced some sort of invasion from England over the centuries. Scotland was no exception. It had also been invaded by England, but the English language spoken in the south of Scotland had been native to that region for centuries. And there was little if any difference between the English of southern Scotland and that of northern England. But in the 1300s, that Scottish form of English started to become distinct. And the emergence of that dialect took place in a country that was fighting for its freedom. That Scots dialect is first recorded in a famous poem about that war for Scottish independence called “The Bruce.” So this time, we’ll look at rise of Robert the Bruce, the beginning of Scots literature, and the state of English in the Celtic Fringe of the British Isles.

  • Genre and Identity in British and Irish National Histories, 1541-1691
    “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity.

During the First World War the Clyde, and its surrounding area, became an epicentre of ship building and munitions factories. In parallel with these progressions, the area also became the centre of Glasgow’s Labour movement. Male workers on the Clyde were increasingly involved in political activity, such as strikes, rallies and trade unionism. Until recently the role of women within this period of history has been somewhat overlooked.

Let have a look Saint Fhaolain. Of Mac/Mc/M/. Male Meaning Anglicized Wife Daughter Mac son (of) Mac/Mc/M’ Mhic Nic O/Ua grandson (of) O' Uí Ni Fillan, son of Feriach and St. Kentigerna, was also Fhaolain who became a Saint, he would be Naomh Fhaolain, "remembering he was not a saint when he was living", and he died 9th January 777, (Julian Calendar); which is the 20th of January (Gregorian Calendar). (here a story of Naomh Faolan told in Gaidhlig) If he had a son, he would be, mac Fhaolain, his wife would be mich’Fhaolain and his daughter would be nic’Fhaolain. If Saint Fhaolain had servants/followers, they would be Gille Fhaolain or Maol Fhaolain If this devotee had a son, he would be mac’Gille Fhaolain or mac'ill Fhaolain His wife would be called mhic'ill'Fhaolain, and the daughter would be nic'ill'Fhaolain What would the son of mac'ill'Fhaolain be called? The cults of St Fillan served an important function far beyond the significance of the man himself. Perhaps, because of his association with King Robert the Bruce, although it is understood that he had united, through religion the two great power centers of Scotland, the Scots and the Picts, and he was therefore of central importance to the establishment of Scotland as a nation.
