  • Shop-keeping in Birmingham, 1796–1831

    Open AccessToby BarnardARTICLEHistory of Retailing and…2025

    Two generations of Birmingham shopkeepers, the Allins, are traced between 1796 and the 1830s. Initially the business stocked a miscellany that ranged from clothing and shoes to prints, books, children's toys and even a ‘cabinet of curiosities’ or ‘panorama’. By the 1820s, it concentrated exclusively on men's and women's clothes. Also, there had been physical expansion into additional, nearby premises occurs. The elder Allin's use of newspaper and…

  • Dr Achmet

    Toby BarnardARTICLEEighteenth-Century Ireland2024

    The commercial baths on Bachelor’s Walk in Dublin run by ‘Dr’ Achmet Borumbadad throughout the 1770s, if celebrated, tend to be treated as evidence of Achmet’s chicanery and of his powerful supporters’ gullibility. However, the bath complex can be defended as an innovative project to improve Dubliners’ health. The mysteries around Achmet’s origins (apparently in Ireland) and his showmanship have meant that the enterprise and its director have oft…

    Ceramics in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Ireland have generally been approached either through a few short-lived local potteries or as an aspect of luxury. This study seeks to show how between the 1760s and 1840s ceramics were imported into Ireland and sold there in increasing quantities and varieties. It suggests that everyday use and relative cheapness spread ceramics made outside Ireland more widely into Irish homes. It traces the effort…

  • Elite Women in Ascendancy Ireland, 1690–1745

    Open AccessToby Barnard, T C BarnardARTICLEThe English Historical Review2017

    In this book, Rachel Wilson concentrates on five well-documented families from the Irish peerage and political elite. On the basis of this substantial sample, intermittently supplemented by others, she surveys the gamut of female activities. The chosen group was marked by a degree of homogeneity through rearing, tuition, outlooks and expectations, but, as the detailed discussions of individuals reveal, strength of personality introduced noteworth…

  • The Protestant Community in Ulster, 1825–45, by Daragh Curran

    Open AccessToby Barnard, T C BarnardARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    The political mobilisation of the recently emancipated catholic majority during the first half of the nineteenth century has attracted much attention. Frequently, the focus is the career of Daniel O’Connell. The growing confidence of the Catholic Church and the possible economic damage caused by the Union of 1800 have also been investigated. Less research has been devoted to Irish protestant communities, other than to chart the efforts of religio…

  • The Welsh and the Shaping of Early Modern Ireland, 1558–1641, by Rhys Morgan

    Open AccessToby Barnard, T C BarnardARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    The notion of a ‘Celtic’ sea, which facilitated rather than hampered contact between its shores, has a long history. Archaeological evidence has documented the movements of people and artefacts between Britain, Ireland and lands bordering both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The attractions of property and power in Ireland are known to have lured adventurers, traders, soldiers and administrators from areas such as Pembrokeshire and north-west…

  • The South Sea Bubble and Ireland

    Open AccessToby Barnard, T C BarnardARTICLEThe English Historical Review2016

    The Glorious Revolution is credited with ushering in a greater role for parliament in approving and appropriating taxes, the establishment of the Bank of England as well as of private banks, and investment in paper stocks. If a formidable fiscal-military state gradually emerged, it was attended by periodic crises, notably the South Sea Bubble. Ideas about the English developments pioneered by Peter Dickson, John Brewer and Julian Hoppit are being…

  • The Irish in London and “The London Irish,” ca. 1660–1780

    Toby BarnardARTICLEEighteenth-Century Life2015

    The essay looks at individuals from Ireland who came to London between the 1660s and 1780s. Some belonged to groups that had particular reasons to be there, such as wealthy landowners with property in both England and Ireland, would-be lawyers and physicians, writers and artists, clergymen and active members of religious sects. Occasions when sizable numbers of the Irish met are discussed. Also, other factors that may have encouraged a sense of “…

    With the publication of Ruling Ireland, 1685–1742, in 2004, David Hayton confirmed his reputation as the most penetrating analyst of public politics in later Stuart and early Hanoverian Ireland. In drawing together a second collection of hitherto scattered essays, he consolidates and extends that deservedly high regard. He brings to his analysis of individuals, groups, institutions, attitudes and episodes an unrivalled familiarity with the unpubl…
