Irish dress history sources online:

A list of sources for Irish dress history research that free to access on the internet:

Primary and period sources:

Text Sources:

Corpus of Electronic Texts (CELT): a database of historical texts from or about Ireland. Most have both their original text and, where applicable, an English translation. Authors include: Francisco de Cuellar, Luke Gernon, John Dymmok, Thomas Gainsford, Fynes Moryson, Edmund Spenser, Laurent Vital, Tadhg Dall Ó hUiginn

Images:

The Edwin Rae Collection: A collection of photographs of Irish carvings dating 1300-1600 taken by art historian Edwin Rae in the mid-20th c. Includes tomb effigies and other figural art.

National Library of Ireland: Has a nice collection of 18th-20th c. Irish art and photographs. Search their catalog or browse their flickr.

Irish Script on Screen: A collection of scans of medieval Irish manuscripts, including The Book of Ballymote.

The Book of Kells: Scans of the whole thing.

The Image of Irelande, with a Discoverie of Woodkarne by John Derricke published 1581. A piece of anti-Irish propaganda that should be used with caution. Illustrations. Complete text.

Secondary sources:

Irish History from Contemporary Sources (1509-1610) by Constantia Maxwell published 1923. Contains a nice collection of primary source quotes, but it sometimes modernizes the 16th c. English in ways that are detrimental to the accuracy, like changing 'cote' to 'coat'. The original text for many of them can be found on CELT, archive.org, or google books.

An Historical Essay on the Dress of the Ancient and Modern Irish By Joseph Cooper Walker published 1788. Makes admirable use of primary sources, but because of Walker's assumption that Irish dress didn't change for the entirety of the Middle Ages, it is significantly flawed in a lot of its conclusions. Mostly only useful now for historiography. I discussed the images in this book here.

Chapter 18: Dress and Personal Adornment from A Smaller Social History of Ancient Ireland by P. W. Joyce published 1906. Suffers from similar problems to An Historical Essay on the Dress of the Ancient and Modern Irish.

Consumption and Material Culture in Sixteenth-Century Ireland Susan Flavin's 2011 doctoral thesis. A valuable source on the kinds of materials that were available in 16th c Ireland.

A Descriptive Catalogue of the Antiquities in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy Volumes 1 and 2 by William Wilde, published 1863. Obviously outdated, and some of Wilde's conclusions are wrong, because archaeologists didn't know how to date things in the 19th century, but his descriptions of the individual artifacts are worthwhile. Frustratingly, this is still the best catalog available to the public for the National Museum of Ireland Archaeology. Idk why the NMI doesn't have an online catalog, a lot museums do nowadays.

Volume I: Articles of stone, earthen, vegetable and animal materials; and of copper and bronze

Volume 2: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Antiquities of Gold in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy

Death, Revelations, & Jail

A/N: This one might end up being just a tad longer than the last 3 chapters :3 ALSO I FINALLY FINISHED EPISODE 3 😭 IM SORRY IT TOOK FOREVER, HENRY BEING PATHETIC WAS FUNNY 😭😭

Tw: Joseph's death, revealing Violet's trauma (grooming, SA, assault, abuse, manipulation), Kathleen's death, robbery

At the funeral, Violet stood with Kathleen and Billy per Joseph's final request. His reasoning had been that he wanted her there instead of Antrim because of how caring she was compared to his step-father. Violet was touched by him asking for her to be there in his final moments.

Violet had one hand on Kathleen's back, rubbing her back as she and Billy sprinkled dirt on Joe's body, holding back her own tears. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to bawl her eyes out. He had been a sweetheart in the short time she had known him and had prayed for him to recover.

Billy and Kathleen didn't deserve this; they were too good of people to have lost Joseph. If Violet could bring back Joe, she would even go as far as ask God to take her abuser and ex-friend.

'If anyone deserves to be in the ground it's that fucking-'

Violet's thoughts were interrupted, hearing a familiar voice. Her heart dropped, and she suddenly felt lightheaded.

She slowly turned to face him. What was he of all people doing here?

As Violet watched the short argument between Kathleen and Henry, the pieces began to make sense. Henry was Billy's step-father and Violet's abuser. She felt hot tears fill in her eyes, but not of sadness, oh no. Of anger. Hatred, even. He was here hurting two more people while his victim was here in front of him and he had the fucking nerve to pretend everything was fine between the two of them and ignore her? Violet balled her fists, glaring at Henry, and scrunched her nose up in disgust at the blonde bastard.

"You really think that Joseph would want you at his burial? He asked me to be here instead of you because he felt more loved by someone he just met instead of his own stepfather that he's known for the past 6 years?" She spat, her chest heaving up and down, as she felt her heart speed up. Henry paled, looking at Violet.

If he didn't remember her before she spoke, he sure as hell remembered her now. Kathleen and Billy looked between Henry and Violet, seeing the tears of rage roll down on Violet's cheeks.

"Violet- what are you doin' here?" A simple question, how pathetic was he? To ask how she was while she was recovering from the damage he caused her?

"Really? That's your question? Not 'I'm sorry for doin' what I did to you two years ago I hope you can forgive me'?!" She yelled, feeling her knees grow numb. She felt faint, sick even.

Why would he act so casual?

"Vi, what are you talkin' about?" Kathleen asked, sounding genuinely confused that her husband and Violet, whom she now considered to be a daughter to her if Violet and Billy were to ever date in the future, knew each other.

"What I'm sayin' is that your husband and a third party manipulated me into thinkin' he loved me but only used my 16 year old body for such disgustin' and vile things," Violet stated, glaring at Henry but speaking so gently and sweet to Kathleen.

"You what!?" Billy shouted in anger, turning to Henry. He immediately reached for his pistol, ready to put a bullet between his eyes, only to be stopped by his mother.

He always had a bad feeling about Henry, but knowing that he was the one who violated Violet was beyond disgusting. It was horrid. Silence stood between the 4 of them and Billy shot between Henry's feet, causing a cry of fear and surprise to erupt from Henry's throat.

"Warnin' shot," He stated bluntly before pulling Violet into his embrace as Kathleen practically dragged Henry back to the house to shout at him for what he did to her.

"You can put your pistol away, moron," Violet teased, giggling to herself as Billy rubbed her back, listening to the sounds of the two men burying his brother.

"No, I'm gonna need it when I get back to the house," He told her, a small smile tugging at his lips.

"Don't waste your bullets on him. He needs a slow and painful death," She argued, laying her head on his chest as he held her close.

Billy pondered that for a moment; get rid of the problem or let the problem suffer.

"You're right, he does deserve to suffer," He murmured, putting his gun back in his gunbelt. "I'm sorry he did that to you."

"Why are you sorry? You didn't know," She questioned, looking up at him and wipin' her tears away. As she did, she had also revealed her scars across her nose. He didn't say anything about her scars, thinking they added to her sense of danger.

"For not doin' somethin' sooner so he couldn't have hurt you," He answered simply, as if it was obvious. Violet felt a faint redness creep up onto her cheeks; he cared about her that much when they had only met a few days ago?

"Awh, Billy that's mighty sweet of you," She replied, not meeting his gaze so he didn't notice her growing redness. Billy gently laid his forehead against hers, smiling at her as he was happy to make her smile.

"Anythin' to see you smile, Vi," He murmured, holding her close.

That night, as the pair decided to stay and comfort Kathleen, Violet ended up staying over with the Antrims as it was pouring rain by the time she noticed it was dark out.

Billy let her cuddle with him in his bed, and they talked each other to sleep–talking about ideas on how to make Henry go 'missing' and comforting Billy about the loss of Joe. Late in the night, Billy woke up to the sounds of hustlin' and bustlin' in the kitchen area. He quietly got up, making sure not to wake Violet, grabbed his gun, and crept his way to the kitchen, aiming it at his step-father once he got a clear view of him.

Henry stopped moving, slowly looking towards his step-son.

"So you caught me. This is my money," He began, having only opened the small box that held what little savings Kathleen had.

"You haven't earned any of it. Not a fuckin' penny," Billy began, moving forward, keeping the gun aimed at Henry's head and being glad he towered over the man he hated. "You chase a dream. You pay for whores. You cheat on my mother and now you fucking steal from her!"

The more Billy spoke, the more he felt his anger rise. He didn't raise his voice. No, he couldn't do that. Not while his mother and best friend were asleep. They needed their rest. It had been an eventful day for both of them.

He continued to force Henry to back up eventually out of the house and into the cold rain. Billy didn't care about the cold. He had enough of Henry's bullshit.

"Not to mention what you did to Violet; she was fuckin' sixteen!! Sixteen!! How could even think of doing such a thing to her!?" He yelled, pressing the barrel of his gun to Henry's head. He could yell now, since they were outside; no one could hear him over the loud pouring rain.

Violet, however, woke up having to use the bathroom. She frowned, not seeing Billy in bed next to her.

'Maybe he's in the kitchen,' She thought to herself, yawning as she made her way to the bathroom, grateful that Billy's clothes covered her body mostly. As she made her way around the house to hopefully see Billy, just eating a midnight snack, she caught sight of him outside with Henry. She stood by the table, seeing the box of the family's savings. Sighing tiredly, she made her way upstairs again to grab a towel to dry him off when he came back inside.

"You could've been a good man like my father. All you had to do was try," Billy continued, cutting off Henry from his pathetic rambling and pleading.

Then he remembered Violet's words from earlier.

"Don't waste your bullets on him. He deserves to suffer."

And suffer he will. He lowered his gun and went back inside, shutting the door in Henry's face.

When he turned around, he came face to face with his mom and Violet. He assumed they heard him as Violet came over to him and wrapped his blanket around him, considering it was the only was big enough that could actually have any chance of drying him a little bit, as Kathleen lit another oil lamp to warm him up.

Violet, knowing this was a family matter, hugged Billy tightly once he sat down next to his ma and went upstairs.

She laid in bed for a while, staring at the ceiling as she waited for his return.

Once he came back to the room, with his hair still damp. Once he put his pistol away in his gunbelt, he laid next to Violet in silence. She pulled him into a tight hug once he got comfortable, holding him somehow tighter than before.

"Thank you," She whispered, knowing he drove away Henry for good.

"Of course, Violet," He whispered back, holding her close and burying his face in her shoulder. Vi buried her face into his neck, taking in his calming scent. He smelled like a wet dog, but amongst that scent, he also smelled like grass, mud, with hints of whiskey.

"I'm never leaving your side," She stated softly, earning a gentle chuckle from him.

"You're an idiot."

"Nah, you are."

"How am I an idiot?"

"Who went out in the rain in their pajamas 10 minutes ago?" She teased, giggling as he laughed softly, accepting defeat.

"Alright, you got me there," He admitted before closing his eyes to try an asleep.

"Yes, I do," She murmured, yawning before curling up into his side.

Days later, Kathleen dropped as well from the same illness that took Joe. The moment Violet had heard the news from Jesse, she had bolted barefoot to find him, determined to help Billy and Kathleen.

As the 18 year olds took care of Kathleen, she cherished every moment she had with them. She didn't want to go, yet she knew that God would reunite her with her husband and Joe. As she was being taken care of, she noticed how Violet and Billy talked and cooperated. They worked together without complaint and were just as stubborn as the other. Kathleen didn't want to leave Billy alone, but as time went on, she realized that he wouldn't be alone. He'd have Violet with him, and Kathleen was okay with that.

The day after she was buried, Violet laid her head on Billy's shoulder as his now former home was cleared out. The town had taken the house as Billy didn't have enough to pay for it.

Violet sighed, rubbing Billy's arm as he watched the home get cleared out.

"You can come stay with Jesse and I until you get back on your feet," She suggested, peering up at him.

"I don't wanna be a burden," Billy denied, shaking his head.

"Billy-"

"You could always rob someplace," a familiar voice said, pulling their attention from the now empty house to Jesse.

"Jesse, no, he needs money not to be arrested-," Violet began, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms facing her brother completely.

"I mean, it could work," Billy interjected, looking down at Violet.

"Where would you even try?" Violeg protested, looking up at him.

"That place," Jesse suggested, nodding curtly towards the Chinese laundry place across the road.

"No, you'll both get caught for sure," She told him.

"Doesn't hurt to try," Billy said, nodding to Jesse.

"You can't be serious, Billy!"

"Alright, meet back here around midnight."

"Fuck you, Jesse," Violet grumbled, pinching the bridge of her nose and closing her eyes in disappointment.

The next night, Violet had gathered Billy's things, as well as her own, onto 2 horses. She knew this would happen. Stupid Jesse and his dumb fucking plan. Violet knew this would happen, but did the boys listen? No, of course not. Why would they?

She peered around the corner of the clothing shop, seeing Billy running from the jail, and she whistled at him, causing him to stop running.

"Violet?" He questioned in a whisper shout as he came closer to her.

"Of course, you fucking idiot, now get on your horse and let's go," She playfully said, grinning and jamming his hat on his head.

"How- wait, why are you leaving?" He asked, not wasting time and getting on his horse as Violet got onto hers.

"Whose gonna keep your ass outta trouble?" She retaliated, grinning evilly.

"Rude," He repreplied, chuckling as the two snapped the reins and their horses were off.

'Goodbye to this hellish town and the people in,' Violet thought, smiling as she no longer would have to be forced into trying to date some of the other guys in town. 'Freedom at last.'

The Hearts of Steel Storming the Barracks at Belfast, from Francis Joseph Bigger's The Ulster Land War of 1770. The specific Steelboy riot depicted here took place in 1771, and is described in Benn's History of Belfast thus:

"Belfast became, this year, the scene of an extra-ordinary (sic) riot, the immediate cause of which produced in the end effects extremely injurious to the interests of the north of Ireland. 'An estate in the county of Antrim, a part of the vast possessions of the marquis of Donegall (an absentee), was proposed, when its leases had expired, to be let only to those who could pay large fines; and the agent of the marquis was said to have exacted extravagant fees on his own account also. Numbers of the former tenants, neither able to pay the fines, nor the rents demanded by those who, on payment of fines and fees, took leases over them, were dispossessed of their tenements, and left without means of subsistence. Rendered thus desperate, they maimed the cattle of those who had taken the lands, committed other outrages, and to express a firmness of resolution, styled themselves hearts of steel. One of their number, charged with felony, was apprehended and confined in Belfast, in order to be transmitted to the county gaol. Provided with offensive weapons, several thousands of peasants proceeded to the town to rescue the prisoner, who was removed to the barrack and placed under a guard of soldiers. Shortly after the steel boys arrived, and pressed forward to the barrack, and several shots were actually exchanged between them and the soldiers. The consequence, in all probability, would have been fatal to many on both sides, and to the town, had not a physician of highly respectable character and leading influence interposed, at the risk of his life, and prevailed with those concerned to set the prisoner at liberty. Being delivered up to his associates, they marched off in triumph."

Olivia de Havilland and Montgomery Clift in The Heiress (William Wyler, 1949)

Cast: Olivia de Havilland, Montgomery Clift, Ralph Richardson, Miriam Hopkins, Vanessa Brown, Betty Linley, Ray Collins, Mona Freeman, Selena Royle, Paul Lees, Harry Antrim, Russ Conway, David Thursby. Screenplay: Ruth Goetz, Augustus Goetz, based on their play suggested by a novella by Henry James. Cinematography: Leo Tover. Production design: Harry Horner. Film editing: William Hornbeck. Music: Aaron Copland.

With 12 Oscar nominations and three wins for directing, William Wyler holds a firm place in the history of American movies. But not without some grumbling on the part of auteur critics like Andrew Sarris, who observed, "Wyler's career is a cipher as far as personal direction is concerned." His movies were invariably polished and professionally made, but if what you're looking for is some hint of personality behind the camera, the kind that Alfred Hitchcock or Howard Hawks or John Ford displayed no matter what the subject matter of the film, then Wyler is an enigma. His most personal film, The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), grew out of his wartime experiences, but they are subsumed in the stories he has to tell and not revealed with any assertively personal point of view on them. And anyone who can trace a Wylerian personality latent in movies as varied as Mrs. Miniver (1942), Roman Holiday (1953), Ben-Hur (1959), and Funny Girl (1968) has a subtler analytical mind than mine. What they have in common is that they are well made, the work of a fine craftsman if not an artist. The other thing they have in common is that they won Oscars for their stars: Greer Garson, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, and Barbra Streisand, respectively. The Heiress, too, won an Oscar for its star, Olivia de Havilland, suggesting that in Wyler we have a director whose virtue lay not in his personal vision but in his skill at packaging, at arranging a showcase not just for performers -- he also directed Oscar-winning performances by Bette Davis in Jezebel (1938) and by Fredric March and Harold Russell in The Best Years of Our Lives -- but also for production designers, costume designers, composers, and cinematographers: Oscars for The Heiress went to John Meehan, Harry Horner, and Emile Kuri for art direction and set decoration, to Edith Head and Gile Steele for costumes, and to Aaron Copland for the score, and Leo Tover was nominated for his cinematography. Wyler lost the directing Oscar to Joseph L. Mankiewicz for A Letter to Three Wives, but is there any doubt that The Heiress would have been a lesser film than it is without Wyler's guidance? All of this is a long-winded way to say that although I honor, and in many ways prefer, the personal vision that shines through in the works of directors like Hitchcock, Hawks, Ford, et al., there is room in my pantheon for the skilled if impersonal professional. As for The Heiress itself, it's a satisfying film with two great performances (de Havilland's Catherine and Ralph Richardson's Dr. Sloper), one hugely entertaining one (Miriam Hopkins's Lavinia Penniman), and one sad miscasting: Montgomery Clift's Morris Townsend. It's a hard role to put across: Morris has to be plausible enough to persuade not only Catherine but also the somewhat more worldly Lavinia that he is genuinely in love with Catherine and not just her money, but he also needs to give the audience a whiff of the cad. Clift's Morris is too callow, too grinningly eager. There is no ambiguity in the performance. If we like Morris too much, we risk seeing Dr. Sloper more as an over-stern paterfamilias and less as the cruelly self-absorbed man he is. Richardson's fine performance goes a long way to righting this imbalance, but he's fighting Clift's sex appeal all the way.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – NEWS FROM YESTERYEAR

#FBF

September 30, 1932 – 90 YEARS AGO Excerpt from Ramapo Valley Independent

BEAUTIFUL SWANS NOW INHABITANTS OF LAKE ANTRIM — GROUP OF PUBLIC-SPIRITED CITIZENS DONATE ORNAMENTAL AND USEFUL BIRDS

 [Image: Lake Antrim Dam, Suffern, NY, undated color postcard, courtesy of the Suffern Free Library]

  The interest of the citizens of the lake district in the improvement of Lake Antrim has not ceased with the recent raising of the water level and the repair of the dam. Four swans are being kept in an enclosure until they become acclimated and then they will be set free to glide over the waters at will.  The swans were purchase by a group of people in the lake district who feel that the birds will be useful as well as ornamental. A swan-house was built by Joseph Martin, manager of the Suffern Stone Company, who has been active in improving the lake. The birds will be cared for by A. Haeussler.  Mayor John H. Kocher and Trustee George T. Williams have made a request that the public help to care for the swans and to see that no harm comes to them. Small boys will have to be taught that the birds are not to be bothered or molested. People in the neighborhood who own dogs that roam about the lake shores can also help by keeping the dogs away from the graceful, feathered beauties.  Many people love to watch swans floating on water and their presence will make the entire lake area more attractive. Those who have made it possible for the swans to be placed on the lake have performed a public service and the people of the village can show their appreciation by helping in every way to cooperate with the idea.

Flashback Friday appears every Friday. To receive the full flashback report (formerly seen in the Rockland Review), read this week’s “News From Yesteryear” click here:

“The full description on the envelope reads: “Lives across the road from the Spar, his ma and da used to own it, his mother was Mary and da Joseph, moved to Waterfoot after he got married, plays guitar and used to run discos in the parochial hall and the hotel in the 80s. Friends with the fella who runs the butchers in Waterfoot too.”

It is not the first time the Royal Mail has defied expectations in deciphering addresses that could, at best, be described as vague.

Last year, Catrina Davies, who lives in a shed in Cornwall, was handed a letter in an envelope omitting a town, street name or postcode.

The sender had simply addressed it to Katrina Davis [sic], noting that she lived in a shed “near a village 21 miles from Land’s End, as featured on BBC2 Simon Reeve Cornwall programme”.

In 2010, a postie rose to the challenge when they were asked to find a couple with an address given as “somewhere near the golf course in Thetford, Norfolk”.”

Health and Hell

Chapter 1 Chapter 2

A/N: Genuinely love how much attention these are getting ty and ily everyone 😭🫶🏼 reblogs, likes, and comments are appreciated but not required🫶🏼 (please gimme some fanfic title suggestions in the asks or inbox!/nf)

Summary//Joseph and Violet bonding before his diagnosis & death (I haven't hit episode 4 yet cause I keep rewatching Billy calling out Henry for stealing from Kathleen im sorry 😭)

Cw// foreshadowing Joseph's death, Billy being his own warning again, Billy being emotionally not there, talk of death, whore mention

Billy stood by Mr. Upson, waiting for Violet. He had asked her yesterday to stop by and watch over Joseph while his ma worked, and he was at the ranch until he could get the doctor to come look at him about his nasty cough. He trusted Violet more than anyone, aside from his ma, to look after Joe and considering Antrim was nowhere to be found, he knew that Violet would be a better choice.

"Good mornin' sir, mornin' Billy," came her voice, and Billy looked up. He looked puzzled to see her in a dress. Her bright red hair was in a braid, which was in some kind of bun, and being held together by a dark pastel green ribbon. Her hair and eyes were complimented by her different shades of pastel green dress, which made her look quite beautiful.

"Mornin', Violet," He greeted, turning to her and taking off his hat in respect towards her. "Mr. Upson, this is Violet Evans. Violet, this is Mr. Ash Upson—he's takin' me to a rancher, Billy Matthews, to see about a job."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Upson," Violet replied, smilin politely to him as she shook his hand after he took off his hat in respect to her as well.

"The pleasure is all mine, Ms. Evans," Upson said with a gentle smile.

Billy smiled faintly at the two before leading Violet to meet Kathleen. He found her getting her shoes on and smiled a little more; seeing his ma always made him smile no matter the consequences.

"Ma, this is Violet—she's gonna watch over Joe til we can get the doctor," He said when she looked up.

Violet smiled and waved to Kathleen. "Hi, ma'am."

"Oh, why hello, Violet. I thought you weren't coming until later, but thank you so much for acceptin' to look after Joseph," Kathleen said with a gentle yet worrisome smile. She didn't want to feel like she was putting pressure on a girl that she barely knew.

"I'm just happy to help," Violet reassured with a gentle nod as the two led her upstairs to Billy and Joseph's room.

The harsh hacking and coughing almost brought tears to Violet's eyes. She hated seeing little kids sick—it made her heart hurt because no kid should deserve to suffer to painfully. Violet grimaced a little, remembering how she lost one of her friends to consumption (she was also whores but that wasn't what killed her).

"Hey, Joe."

The sudden appearance of Billy's voice, sound soft and comforting, snapped Violet out of her memory of her friend. She watched from the threshold as Billy told Joseph about Violet and he soon gestured for her to come in.

She walked into the room, sitting in the now empty chair.

Billy and Kathleen left the pair to head off to work and the ranch, leaving them in complete silence.

"Hey, Joseph," Violet greeted softly, brushing some of his dark hair from his face. Her tone was much calmer and collected compared to how she spoke the day before—it wasn't rough and tough. It was gentle and ladylike.

"Hi, Ms. Evans..." The young boy responded before falling into a series of hacking coughs once more. Violet wanted to hold this poor boy and hug him tightly. He was too sweet, too young.

"No need to call me Ms. Evans, buddy. You can just call me Violet," She commented, putting the wet rang, which she had seen on the tin tub on the dresser, on his forehead to hopefully help with his fever.

After a few moments if silence, Joseph spoke up.

"Billy would like you as his girl. Real pretty lookin'; you look real tough too," He murmured, earning a soft giggle from the older woman.

"What makes you say that I'm tough?" She inquired, smiling a bit*

"Those cuts along your nose, Vi. Only a real tough girl would have her scars out in the open."

Violet's smile faded for a moment. She forgot to hide her scars.

"Oh- why thank you, Joe." Her voice was still gentle and soft, not wanting to make him think he made her angry or upset.

As the hours went on, the two had grown close. Joseph was telling her about stories of his life with Billy and Kathleen. She was telling him tales of how she'd grown up in Silver City, aside from her trauma, and how she'd sometimes dress as a boy to play poker and help Jesse with work instead of waiting for some marriage proposal from some sleazy guy.

Joe was having more fun talking with Violet than he'd ever had since his family left New York. He felt happy, even with his awful coughs and occasional vomiting.

Hellooo it is time for me to force you all to listen to my obsession with Edward John Newell's disappearance again. where we last left off, I had explained that I think he was most likely drowned, and that from this bit from Richard Robert Madden's writing we have the name Robert Orr as one of two of Newell's probable killers.

So I decided today to do a bit more research on this Robert Orr. it did not go well. information on Orr is scant, because other people have been named that, because he's overshadowed completely by his more famous relative, and because apparently in the 90s a UDR soldier and former policeman called Robert Orr was killed in a car bombing and people are (shockingly!) more concerned about that than they are about a relative of William Orr's.

I did manage to find a few things, though. This is from Francis Joseph Bigger's William Orr biography:

Bigger doesn't elaborate at all and honestly I don't know if he even knew any more about the meaning of that engraving than I do. however, this is a mildly interesting piece of information about Robert Orr, because it confirms that he was somehow involved with the United Irishmen before Newell's death.

This website goes into as much detail as it can on all of the Orrs, and it identifies Robert as an uncle of William, who lived in Co. Antrim like the rest of William Orr's family. other than that apparently nobody knows anything about him, which. awesome. but this does give us a birth year and approximate location, which is pretty great. it also confirms that nearly all of the Antrim Orrs were United Irishmen, again adding credibility to the idea that the leaders might have sent him to execute Newell.

The last thing I found related to Robert Orr is this. I don't know if this is the Robert Orr they're talking about but I thought I'd add it anyway for completion. there was something else that indicated that a fellow called Robert Orr and a fellow called John Orr (which was the name of one of Robert Orr's brothers) worked for a Mr. Paisley at a mill processing cotton in Antrim in the... late 18th century at some point. I don't know if that's related either though and I'll be honest the article was paywalled and I'm not paying for it just for one sentence. so make of that tidbit what you will.

So Robert Orr was... pretty much a dead end, but at least we know that there was definitely someone called Robert Orr who definitely could have killed Edward John Newell in 1798. I like knowing that even if I don't know anything more about the man tbh.

And now that we've got that, I just wanted to quickly say that I have no clue who the other person who came to collect and presumably kill Newell might have been. I'll tentatively throw the guess of possibly Dr. McGee of Belfast himself out there, solely based on him knowing so many incredibly specific details about what happened. I have to stress though that's a completely baseless accusation, that's purely me speculating.

"This unhappy country"...

In late 1796 the French Directory organized the Expédition d'Irlande, which involved more than forty ships and some 15,000 soldiers, all under the command of General Lazare Hoche, to support the United Irishmen and drive the British out of Ireland. This "unhappy country", as the French official newspaper described Ireland, had long served as "the experimental laboratory of British colonization" and suffered greatly from the Anglo-Protestant hegemony that had been firmly established in the wake of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in the mid-seventeenth century. Despite representing the vast majority of the population and outnumbering Anglo-Protestants by about five to one, the Catholic Irish were dispossessed of their land, denied entry into certain professions, and disallowed from political participation. The French Revolution had a major impact on Ireland. In 1791 Presbyterian and Catholic Irish came together to form the Society of United Irishmen, led by the Dublin Protestant lawyer Wolfe Tone. Influenced by French revolutionary ideals, the United Irishmen called for Catholic emancipation and major political and economic reforms, though some radical members also envisioned an independent Irish Republic free from English control.

During the first three years of the French Revolution, the United Irishmen published newspapers and hundreds of pamphlets expressing clear sympathy for the French revolutionaries. The British government was naturally perturbed by the organization, especially after the outbreak of the war between Britain and France in February 1793, when it came to see the United Irishmen as potentially treasonous. In 1793 the British authorities adopted several laws targeting the society before outlawing it entirely in 1794. The United Irishmen, forced underground, continued their struggle. The crackdown only radicalized its members, and over the next three years they reorganized the society, turning it into a militarized organization that made preparations for rebellion, which France was eager to exploit.

After mobilizing at Brest on the Brittany coast, the French launched the operation in December 1796, amid what proved to be one of the roughtest winters of the eighteenth century. Sailing toward Bantry Bay, the French fleet suffered greatly and was unable to make amphibious landings in Ireland. Within a week the entire expedition was recalled, with a dozen French ships captured or wrecked and more than 2,000 men lost. The invasion was defeated not by the Royal Navy but rather by a combination of bad weather, poor seamanship and poor French decision-making. It did, however, reveal weaknesses in the British defenses, especially in light of continued mutinies over pay and conditions in the Royal Navy.

A year and a half later France organized an expedition in support of a local rebellion in Ireland. The uprising first began around Dublin but quickly spread to County Wexford, in southeast Ireland. On May 29 the United Irishmen stormed the town of Enniscothy and then succeeded in taking the town of Wexford. The rebellion soon spread to other areas as well, including Antrim and County Down, where rebel forces assembled under the leadership of Henry McCracken and Henry Monro. The Irish hoped for French military support, but it failed to materialize. British victories at Ballynahinch (near Belfast), New Ross and Bunclody (in County Wexford), and Arklow (in County Wicklow) effectively neutralized the rebellion. Both McCracken and Monro were captured and executed without proper trial. Tone, also captured, committed suicide in jail.

The Irish rebellion seemed over when on August 22, 1798, a French expeditionary force, led by General Jean Joseph Humbert, landed at Kilcummin. The French continued to see Ireland as Britain's weak point, while the Irishmen still hoped for French support in their struggle against British rule. Upon their arrival the French forces occupied the town of Killala, where they hoisted a green flag with the slogan "Erin go Bragh" (Ireland forever) and a harp without a crown, inviting the Irish rebels to "assert their freedom" from the British monarchy and join the free Frenchmen, who had "come for no other purpose but to make them independent and happy." The French scored a minor victory over the British at Castlebar, which encouraged many Irishmen to renew their resistance. Humbert called for further French reinforcements, but these did not arrive, owing yet again to poor weather in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, British troops led by lord Charles Cornwallis, the lord lieutenant of Ireland, converged on Humbert, who suffered defeat at Ballinamuck (September 8) and Killala (September 23) and was forced to surrender. Humbert's defeat marked the end of the rebellion, which had led to the death of some 20,000 Irishmen, and dashed Irish hopes for independence from British rule.

Carl William Brown For most of history, Anonymous was a woman. Virginia Woolf Man forgives women anything save the wit to outwit him. Minna Antrim When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird. Minna Antrim Women like silent men. They think they're listening.

Aristophanes So it is naturally with the male and the female; the one is superior, the other inferior; the one governs, the other is governed; and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind. Aristotle If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves? Mary Astell How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being. Oscar Wilde Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women. Lady Nancy Astor She even had a kind of special position among men: she was an exception, she fitted none of the categories they commonly used when talking about girls; she wasn't a cock-teaser, a cold fish, an easy lay or a sneaky bitch; she was an honorary person. Margaret Atwood Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony. Jane Austen There certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are of pretty woman to deserve them. Jane Austen To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.

Dave Barry What Women Want: To be loved, to be listened to, to be desired, to be respected, to be needed, to be trusted, and sometimes, just to be held. What Men Want: Tickets for the world series. Dave Barry Women usually are mothers, so they are biologically more conservative and more conventional, not by chance George Orwell wrote that the fairer sex is revolutionary from the waist downwards. Carl William Brown Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night. Jean Baudrillard Men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. John Berger Whatever glory belongs to the race for a development unprecedented in history for the given length of time, a full share belongs to the womanhood of the race.

Womens's quotes and aphorisms A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover -- but will sooner or later find a tyrant. Lord Byron But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation. Lord Byron I think the worst woman that ever existed would have made a man of very passable reputation -- they are all better than us and their faults such as they are must originate with ourselves. Lord Byron What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman. Lord Byron Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.

Men can be analyzed, women merely adored. Oscar Wilde As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world. Virginia Woolf Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, But, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?" If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy. Barbara Cartland I have always found women difficult. I don't really understand them. To begin with, few women tell the truth. Barbara Cartland That's the nature of women... not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not. Miguel De Cervantes Whatever evil a man may think of women, there is no woman but thinks more. Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort I don't know why women want any of the things men have, when one of the things that women have is men. Coco Chanel A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking. Malcolm De Chazal Every man comes out of a woman and it is therefore more than logical that somehow he wants to go back inside her.

Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes. Gilbert K. Chesterton You may be a princess or the richest woman in the world, but you cannot be more than a lady. Jennie Jerome Churchill It seems as though women keep growing. Eventually they can have little or nothing in common with the men they chose long ago. Eugenie Clark Women are a sisterhood. They make common cause in behalf of the sex; and, indeed, this is natural enough, when we consider the vast power that the law gives us over them. William Cobbett A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men. Sidonie Gabrielle Colette What attracts us in a woman rarely binds us to her. John Churton Collins In the sex war, thoughtlessness is the weapon of the male, vindictiveness of the female. Cyril Connolly Love is lost in men's capricious minds, but in women s, it fills all the room it finds. John Crowne Nature makes woman to be won and men to win. George William Curtis Men don't know much about women. We do know when they're happy. We know when they're crying, and we know when they're pissed off. We just don't know in what order these are gonna come at us. Evan Davis Were there no women, men might live like gods. Thomas Dekker Don't you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, you'll never be a dominant force in the world? You'll never be a convincing technocrat or middle manager. Because people will know. She's in there sitting down. Don Delillo All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking. Helene Deutsch There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies. Denis Diderot There is no kind of harassment that a man may not inflict on a woman with impunity in civilized societies. Denis Diderot

International women's day quotes To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long. Marlene Dietrich Women are most fascinating between the ages of thirty-five and forty, after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass forty, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely. Christian Dior Once a man is on hand, a woman tends to stop believing in her own beliefs. Colette Dowling Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them. Alexandre (the Younger) Dumas A man's idea in a game of cards is war, cruel, devastating, and pitiless. A lady's idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary. Finley Peter Dunne It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs. Marguerite Duras The woman is the home. That's where she used to be, and that's where she still is. You might ask me, What if a man tries to be part of the home - will the woman let him? I answer yes. Because then he becomes one of the children. Marguerite Duras There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature. Lawrence Durrell Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so. Andrea Dworkin Upscale young men seem to go for the kind of woman who plays with a full deck of credit cards, who won't cry when she's knocked to the ground while trying to board the six o'clock Eastern shuttle, and whose schedule doesn't allow for a sexual encounter lasting more than twelve minutes. Barbara Ehrenreich Let us treat the men and women well: treat them as if they were real: perhaps they are. Ralph Waldo Emerson Like poetry, even a woman is poetic if she carries secrets inside! Carl William Brown A woman's heart must be of such a size and no larger, else it must be pressed small, like Chinese feet; her happiness is to be made as cakes are, by a fixed receipt. George Eliot And when a woman's will is as strong as the man's who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment. George Eliot I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out. George Eliot Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don't are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn't put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian. Fran Lebowitz I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way; it had better ha been left to the men. George Eliot The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history. George Eliot Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike. George Eliot Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, an herb most bruised is woman. Euripides Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings. Ralph Waldo Emerson The girl with a future avoids a man with a past. Evan Esar When a woman behaves like a man why doesn't she behave like a nice man? Dame Edith Evans Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she's still virtuous; that's a maxim. George Farquhar Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.
