[ADMIRALTY DOCUMENT] Document signed ‘Camden P’ as First Lord of the Admiralty, and also by the Lord Privy Seal Lord Dorset, Edmund Burke, Charles J. Fox and by A.S. Conway. Addressed to His Grace George Duke of Marlborough, ‘Custos Rotulorum’ (Keeper of the Rolls) of the County of Oxford, informing him that as ‘His Majestys (George III’s) Service doth at this time require a speedy supply of Seamen and Seafaring Men, to Man His Majesty’s Fleet which is now Fitting out; we do therefore by His Majesty’s Command, hereby pray and require your Grace to call upon the Justices of the Peace of the County of Oxford ... to cause all Straggling Seamen who are fit to serve on Board His Majestys Ships, to be taken up’ and sent to one of the naval ports for a bounty of twenty shillings per man. GEORGE III. ... Published From the Council Chamber at St. James’s the 21st Day Of June, 1782. Folio, 2 pages, with integral address leaf and paper seal. Written in a neat copperplate hand and perfectly legible. Document professionally conserved. In very good condition. €1,350 This document is in effect an official Admiralty authorisation for the much-feared impressment during the American Wars. Press gangs were well known for the physical force they used in recruiting men into the Royal Navy. It was, however, a practice which Parliament had sanctioned with several acts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is stated that ‘straggling seamen’ should be brought to ‘His Majestys Yards at Deptford, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Portsmouth or Plymouth or to the Naval Officer at Harwich or to any of the Officers Employed in raising Men for His Majesty Fleet at any other Ports according as those places shall be nearest to where they were taken up’. Press gangs were supposed to seize only experienced seamen, but they were as often ordinary apprentices and labourers. John Jeffreys Pratt, 1st Marquess Camden (1759-1840), First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Member of Parliament for Bath was born at Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London. He served under Lord Shelburne as Lord of the Admiralty between 1782 and 1783 and in the same post under William Pitt the Younger between 1783 and 1789, as well as a Lord of the Treasury between 1789 and 1792. In 1794 Camden succeeded his father as 2nd Earl Camden, and the following year he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by Pitt. Disliked in Ireland as an opponent of Roman Catholic emancipation and as the exponent of an unpopular policy, Camden’s term of office was one of turbulence, culminating in the rebellion of 1798; his refusal to reprieve the United Irishman William Orr, convicted of treason on the word of one witness of dubious credit, aroused great public indignation. Immediately after the suppression of the rising Camden resigned. Edmund Burke (1729-1797), statesman, political essayist and brilliant orator was born in Dublin, the son of a Protestant father, and Catholic mother, Mary Nagle, direct descendant of Sir Richard Nagle, Attorney General for Ireland, tempore James II. Edmund’s paternal ancestors originated in County Galway, thence to Limerick, where being dispossessed after the Rebellion of 1641, they eventually 1 De Búrca Rare Books settled near Castletownroche, County Cork. Edmund was educated at Abraham Shackleton’s Quaker School at Ballitore in County Kildare who said of Burke: “Edmund was a lad of the most promising genius, of an inquisitive and speculative turn of mind, who read much. His memory was extensive, his judgement early ripe. He was affable, free and accumulative, as ready to teach as to learn.” The administration of Lord North tried to defeat the colonist rebellion by military force. British and American forces clashed in 1775 and in 1776 came the American Declaration of Independence. Burke was appalled by celebrations in Britain of the defeat of the Americans at New York and Pennsylvania. He claimed the English national character was being changed by this authoritarianism. Burke wrote: “As to the good people of England, they seem to partake every day more and more of the Character of that administration which they have been induced to tolerate. I am satisfied, that within a few years there has been a great Change in the National Character. We seem no longer that eager, inquisitive, jealous, fiery people, which we have been formerly”. In Burke’s view, the British government was fighting “the American English” (“our English Brethren in the Colonies”), with a Germanic king employing “the hireling sword of German boors and vassals” to destroy the English liberties of the colonists. On American independence, Burke wrote: “I do not know how to wish success to those whose Victory is to separate from us a large and noble part of our Empire. Still less do I wish success to injustice, oppression and absurdity”. During the Gordon Riots in 1780, Burke became a target of hostility and his home was placed under armed guard by the military. The fall of North led to Rockingham being recalled to power in March 1782. Burke was appointed Paymaster of the Forces and a Privy Counsellor, but without a seat in Cabinet. Rockingham’s unexpected death in July 1782 and replacement with Shelburne as Prime Minister put an end to his administration after only a few months, but Burke did manage to introduce two Acts. Charles James Fox (1749-1806), styled The Honourable from 1762, was a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned 38 years of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was the arch-rival of the Tory politician William Pitt the Younger. His father Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland, a leading Whig of his day, had similarly been the great rival of Pitt’s famous father, William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham (“Pitt the Elder”). Fox rose to prominence in the House of Commons as a forceful and eloquent speaker with a notorious and colourful private life, though at that time with rather conservative and conventional opinions. However, with the coming of the American War of Independence and the influence of the Whig Edmund Burke, Fox’s opinions evolved into some of the most radical to be aired in the British Parliament of his era. Fox became a prominent and staunch opponent of King George III, whom he regarded as an aspiring tyrant. He supported the American Patriots and even dressed in the colours of George Washington’s army. Briefly serving as Britain’s first Foreign Secretary during the ministry of the Marquess of Rockingham in 1782, he returned to the post in a coalition government with his old enemy, Lord North, in 1783. However, the King forced Fox and North out of government before the end of the year and replaced them with the 24-year-old Pitt the Younger. Fox spent the following 22 years facing Pitt and the government from the opposition benches of the House of Commons. Original documents signed by Edmund Burke are rare. 2. AINSWORTH, William. Esq.

  • Intermarriage and Other Families This Page Shows the Interconnection
    Intermarriage and Other Families This page shows the interconnection between the Townsend/Townshend family and some of the thirty-five families with whom there were several marriages between 1700 and 1900. It also gives a brief historical background about those families. Names shown in italics indicate that the family shown is connected with the Townsend/Townshend elsewhere. Baldwin The Baldwin family in Co Cork traces its origins to William Baldwin who was a ranger in the royal forests in Shropshire. He married Elinor, daughter of Sir Edward Herbert of Powys and went to Ireland in the late 16th century. His two sons settled in the Bandon area; the eldest brother, Walter, acquired land at Curravordy (Mount Pleasant) and Garrancoonig (Mossgrove) and the youngest, Thomas, purchased land at Lisnagat (Lissarda) adjacent to Curravordy. Walter’s son, also called Walter, was a Cromwellian soldier and it is through his son Herbert that the Baldwin family in Co Cork derives.

  • David Attis: Mathematics and the Making of Modern Ireland, Trinity College Dublin from Cromwell to the Celtic Tiger, Docent Press, 2014
    Irish Math. Soc. Bulletin Number 76, Winter 2015, 87{90 ISSN 0791-5578 David Attis: Mathematics and the Making of Modern Ireland, Trinity College Dublin from Cromwell to the Celtic Tiger, Docent Press, 2014. ISBN:9780988744981, USD 17.99, 484 pp. REVIEWED BY DAVID SPEARMAN Mathematics in Trinity College Dublin has been a core discipline and area of activity since the college's foundation at the end of the sixteenth century up to the present day. Its history is well docu- mented and has been a subject of interest to historians of science; it forms the central strand of this book. Mathematics is interpreted in a broad sense, reflecting the historical grouping in Trinity of the chairs of mathematics and of natural philosophy. And, despite the book's title, Irish non-Trinity scientists such as Boyle, Kelvin, Stokes, Larmor and Boole are included in the narrative. The au- thor's interest in Irish mathematics reaches back for over twenty years. As an undergraduate in Chicago his enthusiasm for physics was channelled towards history of science which led him to Cam- bridge and then to Princeton and a doctoral thesis which formed the basis from which this book has developed. Over the years he has made many visits to Ireland where he has consulted widely and studied source material. It is important that the material and infor- mation that he has gleaned and a listing of the references from which he has drawn, together with his own commentary and assessment, should be made easily available as it now is with the publication of this book.

  • The Wesleyan Enlightenment
    The Wesleyan Enlightenment: Closing the gap between heart religion and reason in Eighteenth Century England by Timothy Wayne Holgerson B.M.E., Oral Roberts University, 1984 M.M.E., Wichita State University, 1986 M.A., Asbury Theological Seminary, 1999 M.A., Kansas State University, 2011 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity.

  • Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide
    Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide Overview of Shannon The River Shannon and the Shannon region of Ireland are famous for their beauty, but the city bearing the same name is largely overlooked by tourists. Shannon was a 'planned' town, built in the 1960s as a satellite to nearby Limerick. For this reason, the city lacks the old-world charm of many Irish towns. However, Shannon makes a convenient stop on any tour of the country due to its airport, the second largest in Ireland. Because of its location, Shannon is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful County Clare, which includes famous attractions like Bunratty Castle, the Burren Caherconnell Stone Fort, Craggaunowen Castle, the famous Blarney Stone, and Dromoland Castle. Nature lovers will find plenty of spectacular landscapes to explore, including Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and the beaches of Spanish Point. Shannon is also a good starting point for walking tours of Dingle and the Ring of Kerry, or cruises on the river itself. Dolphin watching is a popular activity from Carrigaholt pier, while Loop Head peninsula is home to a large puffin colony. While the town of Shannon isn't as cosmopolitan as larger cities like Dublin or Galway, it has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and a friendly atmosphere that will make any traveller feel welcome. Key Facts Language: English is the principal language, although a minority of people speak Irish (Gaelic). Passport/Visa: All foreign passengers to Ireland must be able to show proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay in the country. Additionally, passengers should hold return/onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, as immigration officers might demand that they demonstrate proof of their intention to leave Ireland.
