SSJ 23 1 Oct/XL:Layout 1 Household plate of the dukes of Ormonde THOMAS SINSTEDEN Few household inventories survive, and this is particularly true among Irish documents. In recent times considerable work has been done to catalogue the surviving Irish family papers at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland and the Irish Manuscripts Dept, National Library of Ireland, Dublin. Access to this research material has led to several books on life in Irish households and their con- tents.1 In 1895–1912 the Historical Manuscripts Commission pub- lished the Ormonde household inventories, part of the manuscripts of the Marquess of Ormonde held at Kilkenny Castle.2 Sadly, only a handful of household plate inventories appear to have survived, although plate books were not only of legal (estate) importance but also an essential means of keeping track of family silver3 as it was moved between one residence and another, depend- ing on where a family was residing. It is understandable that once the silver had been sold there was little incentive to keep the plate 1 Seal of James, 2nd Duke of Ormonde. books.

  • Duchess Park
    Duchess Park Bee Orchid on Duchess Park History and Natural History Volume 1 - An Introduction (A work in progress at August 2015) David Cudby Duchess Park History and Natural History – Volume 1 This book is dedicated to all residents and visitors to Duchess Park, present and future, who have an interest in local history, or who are, or might be persuaded to become interested in understanding, loving and conserving the site and its flora and fauna. The views are my own. Why does including local history in this book matter? It matters for two major reasons. First because many people derive a great deal of pleasure from reading about past events and enjoy the perspective that it gives in understanding local custom and practice, previous land ownership and land use. Secondly, for many of us, myself included, knowing something about where our little patch of land fits into previous land ownership and who lived here and used that land gives a sense of place and helps in feeling grounded or at home where we live. It is only by having this sense of place that we can feel the emotion that will motivate us to protect and conserve what we have inherited. Why does conservation matter? Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money Treat the Earth well: It was not given to you by your parents it was loaned to you by your children (Native American Proverbs) August 2015 Page 2 Duchess Park History and Natural History – Volume 1 Contents of Volume 1 Page

  • Janet Gurkin Altman Approaches to a Form
    Janet Gurkin Altman Approaches to a Form EPISTOLARITY Approaches to a Form By Janet Gurkin Altman Though the letter's potential as an artistic form and a narrative vehicle has been recog­ nized by writers of nearly every nationality and period from Ovid, in the Epistulae Heroidum, to Saul Bellow, in Herzog, episto­ lary literature has only recently become the object of close and sustained critical scrutiny as a result of the revival of the letter form in contemporary fiction, and a growing recogni­ tion that the genre was not, in fact, abandoned following the period of its greatest popularity in the eighteenth century. This was the age that produced such classics as Montesquieu's Lettres persanes, Richardson's Pamela and Clarissa, Rousseau's La Nouvelle Héloïse, Smollett's Humphry Clinker, Goethe's Werth­ er, and Laclos's Les Liaisons dangereuses. Such well-known works, Professor Altman suggests, though they represent a wide di­ versity in style, plot, and characterization, re­ veal a surprising number of similar literary structures or intriguingly persistent patterns when read together with other examples of the epistolary genre. And these structures — re­ curring thematic relations, character types, narrative events and organization — can, in turn, be related to properties inherent in the letter itself. For in numerous instances, these basic formal and functional characteristics of the letter, far from being purely ornamental, significantly affect the way in which meaning is constructed, consciously and unconscious­ ly, by both writers and readers. The epistolary novel. Dr. Altman points out, was born in an age when novelists like Diderot and Sterne had moved beyond story­ telling to indulge in playful reflection upon history and fiction, and the means by which historical and fictional events are recounted.

Ohio Sttite University Press $6.50 America, IXuaata, S>emp, anb Napoleon American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1812 BY ALFRED W. CROSBY, JR. On the twelfth of June, 1783, a ship of 500 tons sailed into the Russian harbor of Riga and dropped anchor. As the tide pivoted her around her mooring, the Russians on the waterfront could see clearly the banner that she flew — a strange device of white stars on a blue ground and horizontal red and white stripes. Russo-American trade had irrevocably begun. Merchants — Muscovite and Yankee — had met and politely sounded the depths of each other's purses. And they had agreed to do business. In the years that followed, until 1812, the young American nation became economically tied to Russia to a degree that has not, perhaps, been realized to date. The United States desperately needed Russian hemp and linen; the American sailor of the early nineteenth century — who was possibly the most important individual in the American economy — thought twice before he took any craft not equipped with Russian rigging, cables, and sails beyond the harbor mouth. To an appreciable extent, the Amer­ ican economy survived and prospered because it had access to the unending labor and rough skill of the Russian peasant. The United States found, when it emerged as a free (Continued on back flap) America, Hossia, fiemp, and Bapolcon American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1812 America, llussia, iicmp, and Bapolton American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1811 BY ALFRED W.

THE Heraldry of the Johnstons WITH NOTES ON THE DIFFERENT FAMILIES, THEIR ARMS AND PEDIGREES BY G. HARVEY JOHNSTON AUTHOR OF "SCOTTISH HERALDRY MADE EASY," ETC. W. & A. K. JOHNSTON, LIMITED EDINBURGH AND LONDON MCM V 9 ! — Preface. THE JOHNSTONS are often referred to as the "gentle" Johnstons, and in Border ballad, entitled "The Lads of Wamphray," we find the Galliard, the " after stealing Sim Crichton's winsom dun," calling an invitation : " Now Simmy, Simmy of the side, Come out and see a Johnston ride Here's the bonniest horse in a' Nithside, And a gentle Johnston aboon his hide." From this we may gather that the term " gentle " is derived from a long pedigree, and not from the ancient manners of the race. Their past history makes lively reading ; the common foe across the Border was always an outlet for superfluous energy ; the long and tragic feud with the Maxwells kept them busy ; and when these excitements failed them, they had little wars amongst themselves to prevent their swords rusting in the scabbards.

M. MACDONALD1 Montrose and Modern Memory: the literary after-life of the ¢rst marquis of Montrose Abstract By addressing the ways in which historical and ¢ctional texts from the mid-seventeenth century to the present have depicted the ¢rst marquis of Montrose (1612^1650), this article emphasises the in£u- ence of religious partisanship on Scottish historiography; the distort- ing lens that Romanticism o¡ered to those seeking to understand the religious and national trauma of the covenanting wars; the in£u- ence of pre-1745 events on the interests of Victorian literary Jacobit- ism; the impact of populism on the cult of Montrose; and the revisionism of twentieth and twenty-¢rst century texts that question the dichotomy of cavalier and covenant presented by earlier writers and suggest a subversive reading of the heroism evoked in conven- tional appreciations of the life of the marquis. Instead of the monuments in stone, the festivals, and the commercialisation that commemorated and exploited the contributions of William Wallace, Robert Burns and others to the grand narratives of Scotland’s history, it was the written word
