Letters are arranged according to year and date. 1 Introduction Henry, Augustine (1857–1930), botanical collector and dendrologist, was born on 2 July 1857 in Dundee, the first of six children of Bernard Henry (c.1825–1891) and Mary MacNamee. His father, at one time a gold-prospector in California and Australia, was a native of the townland of Tyanee on the west bank of the River Bann in co. Londonderry. Soon after Austin (as Augustine was called within his family) was born, the family moved to Cookstown, co. Tyrone, where his father was in business as a flax dealer and owned a grocery shop. Henry was educated at Cookstown Academy and in Queen's College, Galway. He studied natural sciences and philosophy, graduating with a first-class bachelor of arts degree and a gold medal in 1877. Henry then studied medicine at Queen's College, Belfast, where he obtained his master of arts degree in 1878. For a year he was in the London Hospital, and during a visit to Belfast in 1879, at the suggestion of one of his professors, he applied for a medical post in the Chinese imperial maritime customs service. Henry completed his medical studies as rapidly as he could, became a licentiate from the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh, passed the Chinese customs service examinations (for which he required a working knowledge of Chinese) and and left for China in the summer of 1881.

    SAVIORS IN THE SOUTH: RESTORING HUMANITY TO IRISH FAMINE IMMIGRANTS IN NEW ORLEANS, 1847-1880 by MERRY JETT! Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2010 ! ! Copyright © by Merry Jett 2010 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I started this three-year project scouring a five-volume set of primary documents about the Great Irish Famine for a medical history seminar class. At the time, I did not know that this seminar paper would turn into my thesis. I drove to New Orleans on a quest for primary sources and I was not disappointed. Each librarian and archivist that I met was helpful, understanding, and knowledgeable. Without them, I would not have been able to write my thesis. I would like to thank Mary Holt and Susan Dorsey from the Rudolph Matas Library for not only allowing me to look through all their records, but for emailing me the documents I needed. I would also like to thank Mallory Whitfield from the US Mint for letting me use the business records of Charity Hospital and Mary Lou Eichhorn at the Williams Research Center who introduced me to Sister Stanislaus. A special thanks to Irene Wainwright at the New Orleans Public Library for her patience, and for pulling out the Joseph Jones memoirs that I did not even know existed. I was not expecting such a warm welcome, but I am grateful for it.

The result is a resistant and radical form which challenges the classical and modern specificity of the genre by introducing a non-conformist, post-Joycean protagonist, whose antithetical perception of history and socio-cultural norms contradicts the conservative efforts of the post-independence Irish State.

  • Access by Ethnic Groups to the English Royal Courts in Ireland, 1252-1318
    Justice for all? Access by ethnic groups to the English royal courts in Ireland, 1252-1318 S. G. Hewer A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD University of Dublin 2018 I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _____________________________ Stephen G. Hewer i S. G. Hewer Justice for all? Access by ethnic groups to the English royal courts in Ireland, 1252-1318 Summary The notion that all Gaelic people were immediately and ipso facto denied access to the royal courts in Ireland, upon the advent of the English in c.1169, has become so established in the national consciousness of Ireland that it is no longer questioned. This thesis questions this narrative of absolute ethnic discrimination in thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century English Ireland on the basis of a thorough re-examination of the Irish plea rolls. These records exist primarily in the form of nineteenth-century transcripts, the originals having been destroyed in the explosion in 1922. A forensic study of these records reveals a great deal of variation in how members of various ethnic groups who came before the royal courts in Ireland were treated. Specifically, the thesis demonstrates the existence of a large, and hitherto scarcely noticed, population of Gaels with regular and unimpeded access to English law, identifiable as Gaelic either through explicit ethnic labelling in the records or implicitly through their naming practices.

Limited attention, however, has been paid to Irish urban contexts. Roman Catholic attitudes towards science in the nineteenth century have also been neglected beyond a rather restricted set of thinkers and topics.

  • 2 Manuscript and Print in Gaelic Scotland and Ireland 1689–1832
    Manuscript and print in Gaelic Scotland and Ireland 1689–1832 Richard Sharpe 2 Manuscript and print in Gaelic Scotland and Ireland 1689–1832 Richard Sharpe University of Oxford The year 1832 saw the publication in Glasgow of John Reid’s Bibliotheca Scoto-Celtica, the first catalogue of Scottish Gaelic printing. Reid was only sixteen or seventeen, apprenticed to a bookseller in Glasgow, and learning Gaelic, when he first compiled a list from the Gaelic printed books in a friend’s library in 1825. The list grew as Reid examined ‘all the Gaelic books in the neighbourhood’, and the author was still no more than twenty-four at the time of its publication (Reid, 1832, pp. v–vi). It is a well-organised book, listing Gaelic publications according to thematic groupings, with a synoptic list of contents at the front, allowing one to form an impression of the subjects covered, the periods of activity, and the towns where Gaelic books were produced. In Sep- tember 1832 an anonymous review appeared in The Christian Examiner and Church of Ireland Magazine, which provides pointed reflections on the compar- ison of manuscripts and printed books in Scottish Gaelic and Irish. Defining the end of the period with which we are here concerned, its perspective is instruct- ive. Apparently impressed by Reid’s list of printings, the reviewer brings in a comparison of manuscript resources in the two countries: There is this remarkable difference at present (and Mr Reid’s work, now before us, confirms the observation) between the Irish and Gaelic literature – that while the Irish is rich in ancient MSS, and poor in modern works, whether MS or printed; on the contrary, the Gaelic is poor in the former, and comparatively rich in the latter, indeed so much so, that none of the Gael can, like the Irish, complain that he must remain ignorant for lack of the means of acquiring knowledge.

  • THE FAMILY of the LOWER WOOD by Iseult Ní Hinneirghe Belfast 1981
    THE FAMILY OF THE LOWER WOOD by Iseult Ní hInneirghe Belfast 1981 “There are nations with retentive memories whom the thought of independence does not abandon even in servitude and who, resisting against habit which is elsewhere so powerful, even after a lapse of years, still detest and abjure the condition to which a superior power has reduced them. Such is the Irish nation. It is in vain that English power has exhausted itself in efforts to extinguish that memory, to make the conquest be forgotten, and make the results of armed invasion be considered as the exercise of a legal authority. Nothing has been able to destroy Irish stubbornness. In spite of seductions, menaces, and tortures, fathers have bequeathed it to their sons… This unconquerable tenacity, this lengthened remembrance of departed liberty, this faculty of preserving and nourishing through ages of physical misery and suffering, the thought of that which is no more – of never despairing of a constantly vanquished cause for which many generations have successively and in vain perished in the field and by the executioner – is perhaps the most extraordinary and the greatest example that a people has ever given.” Augustin Thierry. While on holiday in Co Mayo during the summer of 1977 a chance encounter between my son, James Henry, and a local man, Tom Keane, started me on the search which led to the writing of this account. “ I know the history of the Henry family in Erris,” Tom told my son. “ O’hInneirghe is the name of a family of the Cineal Eoghan who were chiefs of Culintra Co Tyrone.
