Corporal punishment and child abuse in Ireland, 1700–1870
This article seeks to trace the changing attitudes to the administration of corporal punishment to children, apprentices and servants in Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Informed by the conviction derived from the Biblical injunction that ‘whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him’ (Proverbs 13:24), parents, guardians, masters and others long believed that it was necessary routinel…

Chimney Sweeps, Climbing Boys and Child Employment in Ireland, 1775–1875
The identification of the involvement of young boys in cleaning chimneys as a social problem in the late eighteenth century, and its effectual elimination in the second half of the nineteenth, provides a yardstick against which one can measure changing attitudes to child labour during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The involvement of children as young as five in this trade and the injuries and illness to which they were subject prompted…
An Unnatural Crime’: Infanticide in Early Nineteenth-Century Ireland
Infanticide reached record levels in Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century. Although the rising population and increasing poverty provided the essential precondition for this, the sharp rise in the practice identified by contemporaries in the 1820s and 1830s might not have taken place had the Dublin and Cork Foundling Hospitals continued to assume responsibility for the care of foundling children. But once they were no longer available to receive…
Ireland and Union
Irish writers reacted to the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland by creating a literature deeply invested in political disputation and sentimental appeal. The works of Irish Romanticism display formal and generic hybridity, as writers responded to the material and cultural changes brought about by Union. Far from solving the national question, the Union initiated a literature interested in fragmentation, decline, and melancholy. This c…
Horrid’ and ‘infamous’ practices: The kidnapping and stripping of children, c .1730– c .1840
Among the abuses experienced by children in Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, kidnapping and stripping stand out both for what they reveal of the changing nature of the manner in which children were preyed upon and contemporary attitudes to children and child welfare. Though it is misleadingly presented as evidence of the existence of a vibrant trade in ‘white slaves’, children were not only kidnapped so they could be ‘sold’ in …
The Grasping Hand: Kelo v. City of New London and the Limits of Eminent Domain
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court by a 5–4 vote allowed the New London Development Corporation to take Susette Kelo’s little pink house, along with those of her neighbors who took part in the constitutional challenge that bore her name. Legal scholars were unsurprised by the decision, but ordinary Americans across the political spectrum were outraged by the endorsement of local government’s power to seize their homes. A decade later, Ilya Somin pre…

The Private B ill Legislation of the I rish Parliament, 1692–1800
Between 1692 and 1800, 485 private bills and heads of private bills were initiated in I reland, of which 313 (or 65%) received the royal assent. Initially, most private bills were admitted to the political process through the medium of the I rish privy council, but once the house of commons had asserted its primacy as the place of origin of I rish law, private bills increasingly took their rise as heads of private bills at that forum, in accordan…

Select documents: The members of parliament for Ireland, 1806: two lists of ‘parliamentary interests’
The usefulness of parliamentary lists to historians interested in the biography of individual M.P.s as well as the political and parliamentary process is well established, and valuable listings have been produced to facilitate consultation of the surviving eighteenth-century examples. Only a modest percentage of the total has been published, but even this has proved of considerable assistance to historians interested in the operation and personne…
What Are Older Gay Men Like: An Impossible Question
Although the authors recognize that the question “What are older gay men like?” is impossible to answer conclusively, they endeavor to provide a better understanding of older gay men by making comparisons to the general older male population. The authors dispel a number of myths about older gay men and suggest that they adjust to the stigma of aging and achieve independence more easily than their straight counterparts
Popular Politics in Ireland and the Act of Union
THE most striking features of the popular political response in Ireland to the attempts between mid-1798 and mid-1800 to bring about the legislative union of Britain and Ireland are its comparative uneventfulness and traditional character. On first encounter, this observation may appear provocative since it is still commonly perceived, the work of G.C. Bolton notwithstanding, that the Act of Union was imposed upon a reluctant parliament and an an…

Scarcity and poor relief in eighteenth-century Ireland: The subsistence crisis of 1782–4
The population of Ireland in the eighteenth century experienced serious dearth on twelve occasions. Four of these crises resulted in famines and eight in subsistence crises. The four famines all took place in the first half of the century; the second half experienced only subsistence crises. Because of this, it is sometimes argued that the late eighteenth century enjoyed a ‘gap in famines’. The value of this concept has been questioned because it…

The origins of the act of union: An examination of unionist opinion in Britain and Ireland, 1650-1800
It has long become commonplace to observe that the act of union of 1800, which abolished the Irish parliament and established the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, has since its enactment exerted a formative influence on Irish history and remained the dominant issue in Anglo-Irish relations. In view of this, it is surprising that so little notice has been afforded the development of unionist sentiment in Britain and Ireland in the cent…

The Loss and Survival of Kuleana in Hawaii
Kuleana (land grants) owned by Hawaiian commoners in the mid-19th century were an anomaly in a new commercial economy based on plantations. As a traditional land division they could survive only with general rights to land. By 1940, only 35% of the kuleana on the island of Hawaii had survived and only 19% by 1980. The loss of kuleana was greater in plantation districts and lower on the leeward side of the island where small farms were possible. T…
