Between 1979 and 1993, Dr. Garber donated over 2,000 autograph letters, documents and books to the Department of Special Collections.

The collection focuses primarily on political, historical and literary figures in Great Britain and includes signatures of all the Prime Ministers and First Lords of the Treasury. Many interesting items can be found in the collection, including letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King George III, and Virginia Woolf.

    Castletown List 55

    National Library of Ireland Collection List No. 55 Lord Castletown Papers (Mss 35,295-332) (Accession 2503) Compiled by Mary Colley, 2000 The papers of Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, consisting of correspondence and papers mainly relating to his literary and cultural activities and his political involvements. There is also a relatively small amount of material relating to the management of his estates. Introduction The Lord Castletown Papers were mainly generated by Bernard Edward Barnaby FitzPatrick (1848-1937), 2nd Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory, who was descended from a branch of the illustrious family of Mac Giolla Phádraig. In Gaelic times this branch of the FitzPatricks ruled the area of the present counties Laois and Kilkenny, successive heads of the family being styled chiefs or lords of Upper Ossory. The chiefs were generally politically adroit, and managed to retain their extensive estates even in the most adverse circumstances. For instance, in the reign of Henry VIII, Barnaby (or Bryan) FitzPatrick made a timely submission, whereupon he had his estates re-granted and was subsequently created Baron of Upper Ossory, a title that remained in the family for a century and a half. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, heads of the family were again ennobled and held the titles Baron Gowran and Earl of Upper Ossory. Following a break in the succession, in 1869 John Wilson FitzPatrick was created 1st Baron Castletown of Upper Ossory. On his death in 1883, his only son, Bernard, succeeded to the title as 2nd Lord Castletown, and inherited the extensive family estate based on Granston Manor in Queen's County, the present Co.

These are to be found in all classes of society , and many have forgotten all about their forefathers and have not even a tradition remain i ing. Nay, members of this family who st ll live as county families in Ireland have become so culpably careless that a few generations is the limit of their d knowle ge . It will show the difficulty of the historian and n d o f genealogist, here at least whe it is state that George Lewis Jones , who was Bishop of this Diocese 1774— 1790 I not , could gather a particle of informa I tion but the meagre facts have stated . ! I PRE FACE . The transmission of physical conformation and facial expression , as well as that of moral qualities and defects , is an interesting study to the philosopher . In some u families you can trace for cent ries the same expression, featurmes and color, often the same height and very often li the sa e moral and intellectual qua ties .
