  • The Scotch-Irish in America. ' by Samuel, Swett Green
    32 American Antiquarian Society. [April, THE SCOTCH-IRISH IN AMERICA. ' BY SAMUEL, SWETT GREEN. A TRIBUTE is due from the Puritan to the Scotch-Irishman,"-' and it is becoming in this Society, which has its headquar- ters in the heart of New England, to render that tribute. The story of the Scotsmen who swarmed across the nar- row body of water which separates Scotland from Ireland, in the seventeenth century, and who came to America in the eighteenth century, in large numbers, is of perennial inter- est. For hundreds of years before the beginning of the seventeenth centurj' the Scot had been going forth con- tinually over Europe in search of adventure and gain. A!IS a rule, says one who knows him \yell, " he turned his steps where fighting was to be had, and the pay for killing was reasonably good." ^ The English wars had made his coun- trymen poor, but they had also made them a nation of soldiers. Remember the "Scotch Archers" and the "Scotch (juardsmen " of France, and the delightful story of Quentin Durward, by Sir Walter Scott. Call to mind the " Scots Brigade," which dealt such hard blows in the contest in Holland with the splendid Spanish infantry which Parma and Spinola led, and recall the pikemen of the great Gustavus. The Scots were in the vanguard of many 'For iickiiowledgments regarding the sources of information contained in this paper, not made in footnotes, read the Bibliographical note at its end. ¡' 2 The Seotch-líiáh, as I understand the meaning of the lerm, are Scotchmen who emigrated to Ireland and such descendants of these emigrants as had not through intermarriage with the Irish proper, or others, lost their Scotch char- acteristics.

  • The Early History of the Samaritanhospital
    THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE SAMARITAN HOSPITAL (1872-1892) By WILLIAM S. CAMPBELL, B.Sc., M.B., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. Gynecologist, Samaritan Hospital, Belfast Obstetric Surgeon, Belfast City Hospital PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS to the Ulster Obstetrical and Gymecologiical Society, Ist November, 1962 THF origin of the Samaritan Hospital dates from May, 1872, when Dr. William K. McMordie opened a free dispensary at No. 1 College Street for the treatment of diseases of women and children. The dispensary was soon found to meet a public want, and many patients availed themselves of the facilities and gratuitous advice provided. Many others, however, from poverty, were unable to afford the medicines and medical appliances recommended and this proved an obstacle to the full success of the undertaking. A meeting of a number of philanthropic individuals interested in the project was held to consider the problem. The meeting was a private one and no minutes of it were recorded, but a newspaper report at a later date states, "After a full investigation of the circumstances, it was the unanimous feeling that there was not only a pressing necessity for the supplying of medicines, but also for increased accommodation. One gentleman present volunteered to rent a house and one sufficiently commodious for present requirements was accordingly taken by him in Carlisle Street." There is no record as to who this genitleman was, but the probability is that it was David Cunningham. The house rented was No. 74 Carlisle Street, off Carlisle Circus, and it was openied oni 26th May, 1873, under the name of the Samaritan Hospital for Women and Children, taking over the work of the dispensary in College Street.

He has also been the scriptwriter / researcher for a series of BBC Radio 2 documentaries on U2, Thin Lizzy and Elvis Costello. Stuart is now CEO of Oh Yeah, a dedicated music centre in Belfast. Popular Music In September 1968 Van Morrison was in NewYork, recording a series of songs about life back in Belfast. This was his Astral Weeks album, one of his most important works. It was also a vivid snapshot of Northern Ireland just before the climate changed dramatically with the outbreak of the Troubles. In Morrison’s sentimental picture, there were youthful voices, parties and high-spirits; flamboyant figures such as Madame George cruised the streets of Belfast as the post-war generation challenged social conventions. The hippy ideals were already receding in America, but Belfast had experienced a belated Summer of Love and a blossoming social life.
