Ireland and Irish-Australia
Jane Austen
States of mind
The author explores the causes of the Anglo-Irish conflict over the last two centuries. He considers crucial differences between British and Irish attitudes to time, place and property. He demonstrates the influence of Daniel O'Connell as well as the reactionary effect of violence in Irish history, and he reveals the ambiguity and self-deception in the politics of self-righteous Gaelicism. This book is the winner of the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Me…
The Dynamics of Cultural Nationalism
Irish Culture and Nationalism Translated
Ambiguity is inherent in the political process, and perhaps most of all where, as in the Anglo-Irish case in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there was a masked colonialism at play.[1] Of course, the existence of an ostensibly independent Irish Parliament before 1800, and participation in an ostensibly unitary Parliament, thereafter, forced double-thought and double-language upon the controlling power. It is not with this but with Irish n…

Emigration in the Victorian Age
The Politicization of the Irish Catholic Bishops, 1800–1850
It has been argued that the general election of 1852 marked the zenith of clerical influence in Irish politics in the nineteenth century. If so, it marked a barren use of power. The present paper is concerned with how such influence was acquired and why it was so curiously exercised; or, more precisely, with these questions in so far as the catholic hierarchy was concerned
The last bill of pains and penalties
Acts of pains and penalties are an antique form of criminal action, related (but as a small brother, so to speak) to acts of attainder. Both consisted of bills directed against an individual, and passed by king, lords and commons, in contradistinction to impeachment, where the commons acted as accusers and the lords as sole judges in the case. Whereas, however, attainder was confined to cases of treason and felony and carried the death penalty, p…

The Anti-Imperialism of Free Trade
n their article 'The Imperialism of Free Trade' 1 Mr Gallagher and Dr Robinson have argued that the British empire of the nineteenth century should be interpreted, not so much in terms of political or constitutional status, as in terms of 'overseas trade, investment, migration and culture', and especially of the first two. Where, and in so far as it was avoidable, Great Britain did not bring the areas which 'received' this expansion under direct …

IV. The Nineteenth-Century Revolution in Government
Part , at least, of the historian's work consists of the formulation of general notions and the subsequent refinement of these generalities. One advance is made when a notion like romanticism is conceived, another when that notion is broken down and divided, both in terms of time and region and by the clarifications of logic, and fresh categories can be stated. This paper is concerned with proposing and-distinguishing a generalization of this typ…
Emigration and the State, 1833–55
This paper is concerned with an obscure and long defunct branch of the administration, which was instituted in 1833 and reached its climax by the middle 'fifties. The branch, which had not even a distinctive name, consisted at most of between twenty and thirty executive members, almost all half-pay naval officers, who were at first directly controlled by the colonial office, and, after 1840, subject immediately to the Colonial Land and Emigration…
The regulation of the emigrant traffic from the United Kingdom 1842-55
In several respects the great famine revolutionized Irish overseas emigration. Numbers rose abruptly from an annual average of some 50,000 in the early ’forties to more than 100,000 in 1846, more than 200,000 in 1847 and an aggregate of well over one and a quarter millions in the six succeeding seasons. A relatively small, steady and considered emigration was replaced, especially during 1846-9, by a headlong outrush, sometimes more a hasty, even …
Oversea Settlement. Migration from the United Kingdom to the Dominions
The Irish catholic clergy and emigration during the great famine
The catholic church in Ireland never, as a church, defined for itself an attitude towards emigration. Priests and bishops, when they spoke of emigration, usually spoke as individuals, not as members of their order. The relatively small number who have left any opinions on record were not necessarily the most influential. We cannot be certain that their views represented the feelings of the clergy as a whole. The day to day conversations and advic…
