State witnesses and spies in Irish political trials, 1794–1803
Susan Flavin. Consumption and Culture in Sixteenth-Century Ireland
This study emanates from a broader research project on Ireland and Bristol, and builds off of Susan Flavin’s previous publication Bristol’s Trade with Ireland and the Continent, 1503–1601: The Evidence of the Exchequer Customs Accounts (2009) a volume co-edited with Evan Jones. Consumption and Culture in Sixteenth-Century Ireland: Saffron, Stockings and Silk uses this material—and much more—to make a significant contribution to our understanding …
Eighteenth-Century Ireland
This is the final volume of the New Gill History of Ireland to be published, and it has certainly been worth the wait. Whether seen as a survey, textbook or introduction to eighteenth-century Ireland, only the very churlish, or the very partisan, will be disappointed. Ian McBride has gone beyond what most historians attempt in these works, as by trying ‘where possible to employ fresh printed and archival material’ he makes it an indispensable wor…

Political Toasting in Eighteenth-Century Ireland
Within clubs and societies, and at dinners and taverns all over Ireland, the toast was often the central part of the evening's entertainment. Its importance lies in the symbolism inherent in eighteenth-century alcohol consumption. In Ireland, as in England and America, the toast frequently had political implications, and therefore as a ritualistic form of consumption it deserves close study. This article explores the importance of the toast in ei…
Popular disturbances in late eighteenth-century Ireland
The name ‘Peep of Day Boys’, or the less common variant ‘Break of Day Men’, has become most closely linked with the Armagh disturbances beginning in the 1780s. In particular, the Peep of Day Boys are known as the group that metamorphosed into the Orange Order after the ‘battle of the Diamond’ in north Armagh in 1795. In recent years David Miller has done much to provide a more subtle interpretation of the link between the Peep of Day Boys and the…
The politics of consumption in eighteenth-century Ireland
British Party Politics and Imperial Control
Charles James Fox and Ireland
In 1783 Henry Grattan complimented Charles James Fox by describing his views as ‘liberal to Ireland and just to those lately concerned in her redemption’. He also claimed that ‘Fox wished sincerely for the liberty of Ireland without reserve.’ Sir James Mackintosh’s draft inscription for Westmacott’s statue of Fox in Westminster Abbey stated that he had ‘contended for the rights of the people of America and Ireland’. Whiggish historians subsequent…
The reform of the undertaker system
Thomas Bartlett, in his Ph.D. thesis of 1979 and subsequent articles, highlighted deficiencies in the accepted interpretation of the administration of Lord Townshend. Bartlett challenged the widely held view that the constant residency of the Irish lord lieutenant was imposed by order of the British government. He argued that the decision was taken by Townshend himself and that it was unconnected with the meeting of George Grenville’s cabinet in …
Managing the Dublin populace
Developments in the Regulation of Lawyers
The series of challenges to the autonomy and self-regulatory authority of the pro-fessions which occurred in the 1970s has generally been attributed to changes in public attitudes and values. Questioning the adequacy of this explanation, this paper examines the emergence of new or strengthened market, client, and govern-ment controls affecting the legal pro fession and argues that these developments were initiated or facilitated by the actions of…
