  • Sir William Wilde and the I85i Census of Ireland
    SIR WILLIAM WILDE AND THE I 85 I CENSUS OF IRELAND by P. FROGGATT Preface IN every census of Ireland from I85I to i 9 I social and biological data on serious physical and mental handicaps were collected in addition to the cus- tomary information. Some were compiled during the main census; others by supplementary enquiry. Many were unique, and at the time of the I85I census were collected in no other country. This was a great pioneer achieve- ment made possible by local circumstances and by the efforts of Sir William Wilde, Oscar's father, who was a Commissioner for the 1851, I86I, and 1871 censuses, and medical adviser and compiler of the tables of the causes of death in the census of 1841. These data have limitations but they are of interest to the demographic and medical historian. They are little known and seldom used. A brief descrip- tion of their scope with particular reference to deaf-dumbness, the circum- stances of their compilation, and the work of Wilde as Assistant Commissioner for the census of I85i, are the principal subjects of this paper. Irish Censuses of Population prior to I85I The first modem census of Great Britain was taken in i8oi ;1 that of Ireland in i8I3.2 These were not the first attempts to estimate the population of either country; in Ireland there were at least thirty estimates3 from I672 (when Sir William Petty4 put the population at i, ioo,ooo-which was 'rather a rough conjecture than anything else'5) until I804 when Newenham6 put it at 5,395,436.

    - - io(:~~~~~~euire G;er, I 2-^ tX. FIRST IRISH OCULAR PATHOLOGIST 601 he is delighted to read a few paragraphs later: " I have already criticised the failure of physicists to pay sufficient attention to physiology. Per contra, I much doubt if there are many physio- logists who really understand the remarkable juggling feats of K-nig, Helmholtz, Abney and other physicists." These are pretty sharp stimuli, and if we would do honour to their author, we cannot do better than respond as he would wish. There is no very obvious sign in 1948 that all the remaining colour vision problems are about to be solved; our aim must be to fill the gaps with experiment rather than theory, and to make sure that our experiments are designed on sound principles such as Sir John Parsons would approve. THE FIRST IRISH OCULAR- PATHOLOGIST Arthur Jacob-(1790-1874) BY L. B. SOMERVILLE-LARGE DUBLIN IT iS fitting that Arthur Jacob, the first Irish oculat pathologist, be recalled in this number of the Journal. Although I can find no evidence in Jacob's biographies, or in his own numerous papers, that he ever actually practised any branch of medicine other than ophthalmology, he, like most of the medical giants of his age, was far from being satisfied by a mere speciality. He founded two ophthalmic hospitals, and took a leading part with others in founding both a medical school and a general hospital. He was joint founder and sole editor for 21 years of a medical journal. For 41 years he was a Professor of Anatomy and Physiology.

Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney (1844-1920) The English physicist Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney (1843-190?) was one of the founders of modern photography. His interest in the theory of light, colour photography and spectroscopy spurred his investigations into colour vision. He entered the Royal Navy at the age of 17, retiring in 1881 with the rank of Captain. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1876 he was awarded the Rumford Medal in 1882 for his work on radiation. He was a pioneer in the chemistry of Photography.

  • Dearth, Diet, and Disease in Ireland, 1850: a Case Study of Nutritional Deficiency
    Medical History, 1984,28:151-161 DEARTH, DIET, AND DISEASE IN IRELAND, 1850: A CASE STUDY OF NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY by E. MARGARET CRAWFORD' DEATH and disease are no strangers to underdeveloped economies. At best, nutritional standards are poor: diets are inadequate in calories, protein, and vitamins. At worst, adverse weather conditions or pestilence or war can devastate the main food supply causing famine, disease, and death. These scourges are still familiar in Asia and Africa; in the western world such disasters have faded into the annals of time. Ireland experienced one of the last major famines to occur in Western Europe. Between 1845 and 1849, the potato crop failed three times, leaving about three million people destitute. In these years, both infectious diseases such as typhus, relapsing fever, and dysentery, and nutritional deficiency diseases were rife. Yet little has been written about the nutritional and medical aspects of Ireland's Great Famine. There is one very old study of scurvy in Ireland written at the time of the Great Famine,2 and a more recent general investigation of diseases prevalent during the Famine,3 but little else. This paper focuses attention on one particular nutritional deficiency disease xerophthalmia. Xerophthalmia is an eye disease caused by lack of vitamin A, and manifest by dryness and ulceration of the cornea. In the first half of the nineteenth century, famines occurred in Ireland frequently. "In the three decades before the great famine one in every three years saw serious famine in some part of the country."' Intense distress was suffered in 1817, 1822, 1831, 1835-37, 1839, and 1842, culminating in the Great Famine.

  • History of Dermatology Br
    History of Dermatology Br. J. Derm. (1970) 82, 521. Department of Medicine, Dublin University THE HISTORY OF DERMATOLOGY IN DUBLIN DAVID MITCHELL The story of dermatology in Dublin begins in 1804, when Thomas Moriarty of Roscommon published in Dublin a neat little octavo volume of 64 pages, A Description of the Mercurial Lepra, giving a clear account of the course, clinical appearances and origin of the mercurial drug eruption. He also described the fever which accompanied the rash and the profuse desquamation in the healing stage. "Frequently the callous cuticle of the feet or hands comes off entirely like a shoe or glove and is of considerable thickness.” Moriarty was quite definite that "this disease, as the name implies, arises from the use of mercury and almost every preparation even when administered in the most moderate doses has produced it, when it entirely banishes the idea of it arising from an intemperate use of that medicine."

Commenting further on prior claims, George Alley, M.D., M.R.I.A., in the preface to his Observations on the Hydrargyria, or that Vesicular Disease arising from the Exhibition of Mercury, London 1810, stated that Whitley Stokes (1763- 1845) had given credit for the first description of this drug eruption to George Burrowes, physician to the House of Industry in Dublin, for establishing mercury as the cause of the complaint that he, Dr Stokes, had annually lectured on since the year 1798, and that he thinks he may consider himself the person who first brought the disease before the public.
