Round About the County of Limerick ROUND ABOUT THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK: BY REV. JAMES DOW'D, A.B., AUTHOR OF "LIMERICK AXD ITS SIEGES." Zfnterick : G. McKERN & SONS, PUBLISHERS. PREFACE. INasking my readers to accompany me on an Historical and Archzological Tour Round About the County of L~merick,I have consulted their convenience by grouping events around the places brought under notice. The arrangement may lead to occasional repetition, and the narrative may sometimes be left incomplete, to bf resumed and finished elsewhere. But, on the o ?r hand, it possesses the undoubted advantage of fixlng the % FRINTED BY attention of the reader upon the events and occur- e. W'KERN AND SONS, LINERICK. rences which render the places visited memorable. This little work 1s intended to be, as far as possible, a history of those places in the County of Limerick about which there is something to be told. The length of time covered ranges from the pre-historic period almost up to the present. Around the hill of Knockainy linger memories of the last remnants , of an extinct race. The waters of Lough Gur and the adjacent swamps y~eldup remains of animals no longer to be found in th~scountry. The same district preserves the rude memorials of men of the Stone Age whose cromlechs, circles and pillar stones have survived all the changes and chances of the inter- vening centuries. The vigorous heathenism of the early Celts has bequeathed the names of its last heroes to several of the more noticeable physical features of the county, To them succeeded the VI. PREFACE. Christian saints, whose names at least are pre- served in connexion with the numerous churches with wh~chthey.occupied even the remotest parts. CONTENTS.

  • Wales-Ireland Travelogue 2009
    WALES AND IRELAND TRIP MAY 12 TO JUNE 4, 2009 What a coincidence! Meaningless, to be sure - but a coincidence, nonetheless. Our trip to the British Isles in 2009 began and ended one day earlier than our trip to Scotland, May 14 to June 5, 2001. (One can only hope that September of this year doesn't hold the same sort of unpleasant surprise that was visited upon us eight years ago.) OK, so I made a "small" error - we are departing two days earlier, not one. And, OK, so it wasn't much of a coincidence, was it? I mean, a real coincidence - one of excruciating consequence - occurred at the Polo Grounds in NYC on October 3, 1951 when Ralph Branca of the Blessed Brooklyn Dodgers was called in to pitch in the 9th inning and, by coincidence, Bobby Thomson of the Bestial New York Giants happened to come to bat, and, by coincidence, Mr. Branca happened to throw a pitch that the aforementioned Mr. Thomson happened to swing at, and, by coincidence, made contact with said pitch and drove it a miserable 309 feet into the first row of the left- field seats of the absurdly apportioned Polo Grounds, thus ending the Dodgers' season and causing a certain 12-year-old, watching on TV, in Brooklyn to burst into tears. Now that was a coincidence! But I digress. Tuesday, May 12 to Wednesday, May 13 Rather than leaving our car at the Seattle Airport Parking Garage (cost for three-plus weeks $468) or at an airport hotel (about $335) we decide to try the new Gig Harbor Taxi (at $95 each way, including tip).

  • Representations of Jews in Irish Literature
    REPRESENTATIONS OF JEWS IN IRISH LITERATURE A Bibliographic Database School of English and History, Ulster University 1 2 Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………...................…. 5 Years 1590 – 1800 ………………………………………...............................…… 7 Years: 1801 – 1900 ……………………………………...................................…… 9 Years: 1901 – 2000 …………………………………..................................…….. 29 Years: 2001 – Present ………………………........................................………..47 3 4 Introduction who is invisible enough to see you ― Paul Celan This bibliographic database archives all texts and writers relevant to the representations of Jews in Ireland (subject to copyright) from the earliest times to the present. The database illustrates how the representation of Jews intersects with all the main genres of Irish literature, telling us much about the notion of identity – both Irish and Jewish – and how in fact, a complete psychohistory of Irishness and Jewishness is hidden in these neglected representations. Divided into four distinct sections, this database has been archived in chronological order ranging from the earliest texts documented between 1590- 1800, the dynamic societal and literary advances made between 1801-1900, texts written in the twentieth century from 1901-2000 and finishing with literature produced in and about Ireland between 2001 to the present day. This mapping of literature was culled from the bibliographies of articles generated by electronic journals and hand searches. This review process yielded 603 publications. This document is available for download from the Ulster University website at: http://www.arts.ulster.ac.uk/jewishrepresentations/ This database has been created in association with Ulster University, the Arts & Humanities Research Council, the Irish-Jewish Museum, NUI Galway, Armagh Public Library, PRONI and the Royal Irish Academy. 5 6 Years: 1590 – 1800 Spenser, Edmund.

  • CSG Bibliog 24
    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick by Alan O'driscoll and Brian Hodkinson
    Who Was Who in Early Modern Limerick By Alan O'Driscoll and Brian Hodkinson The following was commenced by Alan O’Driscoll (AOD) while on a work placement in Limerick Museum in the autumn of 2012 and continued by Brian Hodkinson. It is a continuation of the Who was who in medieval Limerick, which can also be found on the Limerick Museum website. It straddles the period c 1540 to c 1700, so some figures may appear in both databases. It is compiled for the most part by using the indexes of the various sources using Limerick as the search term. However, it has been noted that these indexes are often not comprehensive, and so when sources are available online, then a scroll through the text highlighting Limerick has produced entries not in the index. Such scrolling has also found entries where place names are abviously Limerick ones but Limerick does not appear as a word, e.g. in Fiants and CPCRCI. So while I (BJH) like to think it is comprehensive, it may not be. Notes. • Where two similar names are believed to be the same person, the entries are combined. However, many repeated names appear in the same lists (particularly in the Civil Survey). Where this occurs and/or the two persons are listed as coming from a different location, they are separated, even if they are recorded at the same time. There are a great many repeated full names, such as William Bourke, and it has proved practically impossible to be sure of which of these are different people.
