Name: "Godless Colleges" And Mixed Education In Ireland Subtitle: Author: Editor: Clifford, Angela Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 1992 ISBN: 0 85034 053 5 Contents: Thomas Wyse, who entered Parliament as a result of the 1829 Catholic Emancipation which he helped to bring about, deserves to be better known. He was responsible for the form in which National Education was established: he desired that primary school children of all denominations should be educated together, in order to bridge the cultural divide in Ireland. And, indeed, National Education remained multi-denominational for many decades after its establishment in 1831. Wyse also conceived the project of non-sectarian academical education, and it was his ideas which stimulated Peel to propose the establishment and generous endowment of three Irish non-denominational Colleges in 1845. At these, Religious Education was to be separate from secular instruction, and its teachers were to be privately funded. The project ran into the fierce opposition of Daniel O'Connell and his son, John. The Catholic Church in Ireland was then in transition from the Gallicanism of Archbishop Murray to the Ultramontanism of Rev. Paul Cullen, still in Rome. The Ultramontanists disliked mixed National Education and were determined not to see the principle extended to higher education. This view found a vigorous and able lay expression in the O'Connells. In the Debates of the Repeal Association Daniel and John opposed what they called "Godless Colleges" and demanded state endowment of separate Colleges for Catholics and Presbyterians, with Trinity to be kept for Protestants. They failed. The Queen's Colleges were established, though blighted by Church opposition and the lack of demand for higher education. However, when the present University came to be established in 1908, the principles underlying Peel's measure were applied: the Colleges were non-denominational and remain so. This book reprints an account of Thomas Wyse's educational work by his niece, Winifrede Wyse; carries some extracts from the Repeal Association debates between the O'Connellites and the Young Ireland group centred on "The Nation"; and reproduces extracts from the writings by Frank Hugh O'Donnell, an Irish Parliamentarian who had attended Queen's College, Galway. 132 pp. Index.

Name: "Notes On Eire" Subtitle: Espionage Reports to Winston Churchill—3rd. Edition with extra reports Author: Bowen, Elizabeth Editor: Clifford, Brendan and Lane, Jack Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 2009 ISBN: 9781-903497-55-5 Contents: The story of this book starts in 1993, when extracts from Elizabeth Bowen's works were included in "A North Cork Anthology", with the qualification that, though her family had property connections in the areas, she could not be regarded as a North Cork, or even an Irish, writer. This caused outrage in the Dublin media and some vicious attacks on Jack Lane and Brendan Clifford, the compilers of the Anthology. There was even doubt cast on the fact that Ms. Bowen spied against Ireland in the Second World War. The upshot of that controversy was that the Aubane Historical Society traced several of Ms. Bowen's secret reports, which are published here in full for the first time. For those who would see Ms. Bowen's spying as needing no defence, on the supposition that the Allied war on Germany was absolutely justified, and that Neutrals had no case, this book provides an extensive survey of international affairs in the decades before the War, including de Valera's role in the League of Nations. There are also sections on Irish and European Fascism. The book is rounded out by reproducing the polemic about Bowen which took place between the Aubane Historical Society and luminaries of the "Irish Times" and the "Sunday Business Post". The controversy about how to describe Ms. Bowen goes to the heart of what Ireland and Irish culture is, and this book is as good a starting point as any for those who seek the middle path between the Scylla of bigoted nationalism and the Charybdis of West British globalism. The second edition provides a further review of aspects of World War 2—the British betrayal of Poland, the American provocation of Japan, the British insistence on delaying the Second Front, and the Nuremberg Trials—in response to an indictment of Irish neutrality by Professor B. Girvin and Dr. G. Roberts. 152 pp. Extracts: No extra online material at this time. Errata: No errata available at this time.

Name: A Defence Of Cork Political Culture Subtitle: Author: Murphy, Dr. Brian P (osb) Editor: Category: Compact Disc Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 2005 ISBN: 1 903497 22 1 Contents: Cork was the European City of Culture in 2005 and it seemed appropriate that during the year there should be a celebration of the political culture of Cork. Political culture is as important and as valid as any other part of the culture of a society but did not seem to play any part of the year's official celebrations. So the Aubane Historical Society decided to host a meeting in Cork to celebrate this aspect of its culture. It was also appropriate and timely because there has been a sustained attack on Cork's political culture in recent years with attempts to disparage and discredit it by our revisionist historians and in particular its part in the War of Independence. This is an effort to give us a bad conscience about our past which is totally unjustified and asserted on the basis of spurious research and selective evidence. We were delighted when Dr. Brian Murphy agreed to speak at our meeting, as he is an acknowledged expert on the period and well known for the meticulous and thorough research that is the basis of all his work. The meeting was a tremendous success with over 200 people overflowing the ballroom of the Imperial Hotel on 15th April 2005. This is a set of CDs of Dr. Murphy's address and the question and answer session afterwards. Extracts: No extra online material at this time. Errata: No errata available at this time.

Name: A Letter From An Irish Emigrant (1799) Subtitle: Author: Birch, Ledlie Editor: Robinson, Kenneth Category: United Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 2005 ISBN: 0 85034 110 8 Contents: A Letter From An Irish Emigrant (1799) is an indictment of the Protestant Ascendancy by Thomas Ledlie Birch, Presbyterian Minister at Saintfield, Co. Down. It stands as the first apologia of the '98 Rebellion written by a participant and not as seen through the distorting lens of prison bars. Undoubtedly seditious at the time of writing, the Letter remained unpublished in Ireland for over two hundred years until this edition by Athol Books. The rising offered the landlord an excellent opportunity to be rid of this troublesome priest, long a thorn in the side of the local County Down Ascendancy. Remarkably, Birch eluded the gallows on condition of going into exile. Others from Saintfield were not so fortunate. Deprived of his pulpit, Birch sharpened his pen. On arrival in America, a new opportunity offered itself, writing anti-British propaganda that played on long standing American prejudices against the Anglican Church/State alliance. Birch's pamphlet argued that the virtuous and pro-American cause in Ireland was United Irish, carrying on the patriot war against the British and the Loyalists. Birch maintained that the United men espoused the cause of justice, respectability and morality against "the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places". But the United Irish failed to establish the republic on the American model and the reaction ushered in a new age of martyrdom in the cause of Liberty. But savage forces had been unleashed in the search for the republic of virtue. In Birch's own parish of Saintfield the United Irish had massacred a family of stiff-necked loyalists. In this volume, Birch's Letter is followed by the minutes of his Court Martial; and a list of the compensation claims made by 'Suffering Loyalists' for property destroyed during General Nugent's punitive expedition into County Down. There is also a commentary on the Letter by Kenneth Robinson, who sets it in context. At a time when the word 'historic' is used almost daily about local political events, Birch's Letter covers a truly historic turning point in the problematic story of Ulster. Birch's Letter will be of interest to those who take an interest in the United Irishmen, to local history enthusiasts, and to those with more than a passing interest in the byways of the Presbyterian churches in Ireland.

Name: A Millstreet Medley Subtitle: Author: Editor: Lane, Jack Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Aubane Historical Society Published: 2001 ISBN: 1 903497 05 1 Contents: As Jack Lane writes in his introduction to this unique volume:"This is a collection of various items from many different sources that I think will be of interest to people in the Millstreet and the North Cork area generally. Some of it is original material and most of it has not seen the light of day for many, many years." Including as it does some works in English by the bard of the last flowering of Gaelic culture, Eoghan Ruadh O'Sulleabhain, it will certainly be of much wider interest.
