Rosse Papers Summary List: 17Th Century Correspondence
ROSSE PAPERS SUMMARY LIST: 17TH CENTURY CORRESPONDENCE A/ DATE DESCRIPTION 1-26 1595-1699: 17th-century letters and papers of the two branches of the 1871 Parsons family, the Parsonses of Bellamont, Co. Dublin, Viscounts Rosse, and the Parsonses of Parsonstown, alias Birr, King’s County. [N.B. The whole of this section is kept in the right-hand cupboard of the Muniment Room in Birr Castle. It has been microfilmed by the Carroll Institute, Carroll House, 2-6 Catherine Place, London SW1E 6HF. A copy of the microfilm is available in the Muniment Room at Birr Castle and in PRONI.] 1 1595-1699 Large folio volume containing c.125 very miscellaneous documents, amateurishly but sensibly attached to its pages, and referred to in other sub-sections of Section A as ‘MSS ii’. This volume is described in R. J. Hayes, Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation, as ‘A volume of documents relating to the Parsons family of Birr, Earls of Rosse, and lands in Offaly and property in Birr, 1595-1699’, and has been microfilmed by the National Library of Ireland (n.526: p. 799). It includes letters of c.1640 from Rev. Richard Heaton, the early and important Irish botanist. 2 1595-1699 Late 19th-century, and not quite complete, table of contents to A/1 (‘MSS ii’) [in the handwriting of the 5th Earl of Rosse (d. 1918)], and including the following entries: ‘1. 1595. Elizabeth Regina, grant to Richard Hardinge (copia). ... 7. 1629. Agreement of sale from Samuel Smith of Birr to Lady Anne Parsons, relict of Sir Laurence Parsons, of cattle, “especially the cows of English breed”. -
14 Comital Ireland, 1333–1534
14 COMITAL IRELAND, 1333–15341 Peter Crooks The history of late-medieval Ireland is not exactly littered with dates that command general recognition, so it is surely suggestive that two which have achieved a degree of notoriety concern the fortunes, or rather misfortunes, of Ireland’s earls and earldoms: the murder of William Burgh, the ‘brown’ earl of Ulster, in 1333; and the rebellion in 1534 of Thomas Fitzgerald (‘Silken Thomas’), soon-to-be tenth earl of Kildare. These are dates of demarcation. In the broadest terms, 1333 has been understood to mark the end of the expansion of royal power under the Plantagenets, 1534 the start of its vigorous reassertion under the Tudors. What occurred between these chronological bookends? For Goddard Orpen (d. 1932), writing in 1920 when the Anglo-Irish tradition he cherished seemed imperilled by the prospect of Irish secession from the United Kingdom, the murder of the earl of Ulster in 1333 was a moment of dark, almost metonymic, significance: ‘the door was now closed on a century and a half of remarkable progress, vigour, and comparative order, and two centuries 2 of retrogression, stagnation, and comparative anarchy were about to be ushered in’. In the 1 I am grateful to Brian Coleman, Seán Duffy, Robin Frame, Katharine Simms and Brendan Smith for their assistance in the preparation of this essay, the research for which was funded by the Irish Research Council. 2 Goddard Henry Orpen, Ireland under the Normans, 1169–1333, 4 vols.

The Politics of Honor in Lady Ranelagh's Ireland
151 5 The Politics of Honor in Lady Ranelagh’s Ireland Ruth Connolly Ireland does not come out well in the letters of Lady Katherine Ranelagh (1615–91). She strove to shape its economic and spiritual conditions for over half a century, but in her letters she refers to Ireland as “that country” or, in sympathetic mood, “that poore country.”1 Unlike her brothers, the natural philosopher Robert Boyle or the politician Roger, First Earl of Orrery, she never writes of “our poore country” or “my Countrey.”2 Yet her Irish origins were well known enough that, in the only mention of Ranelagh’s nationality in any surviving correspondence, she is described by Samuel Hartlib, a German Prussian emigré, to his correspondent John Winthrop as an “incomparable lady of Irish extraction,” meaning here of Irish “origin, lineage, descent.”3 So why is Ireland “that country”? My argument here is that Ireland is crucial to her identity but as a place against which she constructs herself as measured and reasoned, a persona Ranelagh called that of a “wise man.” These acts of rhetorical self-distancing from Ireland’s ill-governed spaces (which were not continuous with the whole of Ireland itself) enabled Ranelagh to create an ethnically inflected defense of her decision to separate from her estranged husband, the New English peer Arthur Jones, Viscount Ranelagh. As she strove to safeguard her personal and familial honor, endangered by her decision openly to separate from him, she cast her husband as unequivocally Irish and mapped his dishonorable conduct onto preexisting assumptions about treachery, disorder, and inadequacy among the “native” Irish. -

House of Lords
HOUSE OF LORDS Wednesday 23rd July 1958 NEW TITLE OF NAVAL SIGNALMEN LORD CONESFORD: My Lords, I beg to ask the Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper. (The Question was as follows: To ask Her Majesty's Government whether a leading signalman in the Navy is in future to be called a leading tactical communication operator, and if so, why,? THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (The Earl of Selkirk) My Lords, the noble Lord is correct in his assumption. The purpose of the new title is to indicate more precisely the nature of the duties these ratings nowadays carry out. The Branch concerned considers the new names an improvement, and it can be compared with the change of the name from stoker to engineering mechanic. It brings them more into line with the terms used in civilian employment. The title of this rating is admittedly rather cumbersome when spoken in full, but it will normally be abbreviated in the letters "L.T.O." LORD CONESFORD My Lords, does that mean that in future a naval officer will never make a signal but will operate a tactical communication? Is the First Lord aware that for centuries our sailors have been masters of terse and vigorous English? Will the Admiralty honour this tradition instead of wallowing in gutless verbosity? THE EARL OF SELKIRK My Lords, I think the noble Lord may rest assured that the Royal Navy will continue to make signals of all characters. I think the noble Lord may also be assured that the Royal Navy will continue to express itself in terse English, whether in terms of endearment or otherwise. -
