Some of these have\r\nnever been brought to light since their publication more than three hundred\r\nyears ago, or been mentioned by the few writers who have interested\r\nthemselves in the literature of this subject. In the collections of voyages\r\nand explorations, so often garnered, these have found no place. Most of\r\nthem are very rare, and have never been reprinted. Yet they do not deserve\r\nto be thus overlooked, and in several ways this survey of them will, I\r\nthink, be useful for students of literature.\nThey reveal a widespread custom among Elizabethan and Jacobean\r\ngentlemen, of completing their education by travel. There are scattered\r\nallusions to this practice, in contemporary social documents: Anthony\r\n Wood frequently explains how such an Oxonian \"travelled beyond\r\nseas and returned a compleat Person,\"--but nowhere is this ideal of a\r\ncosmopolitan education so explicitly set forth as it is in these essays.\r\nAddressed to the intending tourist, they are in no sense to be confused\r\nwith guide-books or itineraries. They are\r\ndiscussions of the benefits of travel, admonitions and warnings, arranged\r\nto put the traveller in the proper attitude of mind towards his great task\r\nof self-development. Taken in chronological order they outline for us the\r\nlife of the travelling student.\nBeginning with the end of the sixteenth century when travel became the\r\nfashion, as the only means of acquiring modern languages and modern\r\nhistory, as well as those physical accomplishments and social graces by\r\nwhich a young man won his way at Court, they trace his evolution up to the\r\ntime when it had no longer any serious motive; that is, when the chairs of\r\nmodern history and modern languages were founded at the English\r\nuniversities, and when, with the fall of the Stuarts, the Court ceased to\r\nbe the arbiter of men's fortunes. In the course of this evolution they show\r\nus many phases of continental influence in England; how Italian immorality\r\ninfected young imaginations, how the Jesuits won travellers to their\r\nreligion, how France became the model of deportment, what were the origins\r\nof the Grand Tour, and so forth.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13403 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Howard, Clare \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 9, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Howard, Clare,1881-1967 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216398712989,"sku":"gb-13403-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/13403.jpg?v=1671350503"},{"product_id":"william-pitt-and-the-great-war-gb-24980","title":"William Pitt and the Great War","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Pitt and the Great War\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngland and France have held in their hands the fate of the\r\nworld, especially that of European civilization.

Until then he\r\nwas occupied almost entirely with attempts to repair the\r\nevils arising out of the old order of things. Retrenchment\r\nand Reform were his first watchwords; and though\r\nin the year 1785 he failed in his efforts to renovate the\r\nlife of Parliament and to improve the fiscal relations with\r\nIreland, yet his domestic policy in the main achieved a\r\nsurprising success. Scarcely less eminent, though far\r\nless known, were his services in the sphere of diplomacy.\r\nIn the year 1783, when he became First Lord of the\r\nTreasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, nearly half\r\nof the British Empire was torn away, and the remainder\r\nseemed to be at the mercy of the allied Houses of\r\nBourbon.

Arrangements were made with Mr. Herbert Railton for its\r\npictorial illustration. It had been intended in the first instance, that\r\nthe artists pen and ink sketches should have been reproduced by the\r\nordinary processes used in modern book illustration. But the poetic\r\nglamour of such a place as Cambridge and its genius loci did not allow\r\nthe enthusiasm of the artist to remain satisfied with such drawings only\r\nas might be readily reproduced by the ordinary processes. In addition to\r\nmany sketches in black and white, suitable for reproduction in the body\r\nof the text in illustration of interesting bits of architectural detail,\r\nor of quaint grouping, Mr. Railton has also drawn a series of\r\nlarge-sized pencil-pictures of the principal College buildings. These\r\ndrawings are so beautiful, so full of delicacy and tenderness and yet so\r\nfirm and effective in their treatment of light and shade, and show so\r\nmuch sympathy for the old buildings and all their picturesque charm,\r\nthat the Publisher at once felt that they must not be treated as\r\nordinary book illustrations. The artist had produced pictures worthy to\r\nbe classed with the best work of Samuel Prout. It became the duty of the\r\nPublisher to treat them with corresponding respect. The method of\r\nauto-lithography has accordingly been adopted, by which the plates are\r\nan absolute reproduction in size and tint of the pencil drawings, and\r\nthe artists work goes straight to the reader without any mechanical\r\nintervention. A new feature has been added by which the colour stones\r\nhave been made by Mrs. Railton acting in collaboration with her husband.\r\nThis process of reproduction necessarily involved a change in the\r\nproposed format of the book. It was determined, therefore, to issue in\r\nthe first instance an edition de luxe of The Story of Cambridge, on\r\nspecially prepared paper and in large quarto size. I have readily\r\nconsented to such a course, for although I may seem, by the more\r\nimposing form of a large Library Edition, to be guilty of some\r\npresumption in placing my Historical Sketch in competition with such\r\nhistories as those of Mr. Mullinger in the Epochs of History Series,\r\nor of my friend, Mr. T. D. Atkinson, in Cambridge Describedthe\r\nlarger books of Mr. J. W. Clark on the architectural history of\r\nCambridge, and of Mr. Mullinger on the general history of the University\r\nare already classics to which humbler writers on Cambridge can only look\r\nas to final authoritiesI can only hope that my readers will recognise\r\nthat my presumption is only apparent, and meanwhile I rest confident\r\nthat even the historical critic will have little care for the inadequacy\r\nof my prose rendering of The Story of Cambridge, absorbed as he must\r\nbe by his delight in the beauty of Mr. Railtons drawings.

The empire's laissez-faire economic policies saw Ireland exporting livestock and grain even as its people starved. When famine struck, relief efforts were premised on the idea that only free markets and wage labor could save the Irish.

Whether they were skimming money from innocuous-seeming charities, coolly slipping weapons into hidden compartments of vans and houses, or scouring local graveyards for the names of dead Irishmen to use on federal firearm forms, the gunrunners approached their mission--to unite Ireland under one flag, by any means necessary--with ruthless poise, even as European and American investigators closed in, members of their own movement began to turn on them, and bodies stacked up on all sides. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A gripping tale of crime, rebellion, and the hazy line between them, \u003ci\u003eThe Next One Is for You\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive account of America's hand in the Troubles--a conflict whose resonance is still felt today, in the United States and Ireland alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ali Watkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316538275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2025 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAli Watkins\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, based out of the London bureau.

It was 1958, and the Irish government--in despair, because all the young people were leaving--opened the country to foreign investment and popular culture. So began a decades-long, ongoing experiment with Irish national identity. In \u003cem\u003eWe Don't Know Ourselves\u003c\/em\u003e, O'Toole, one of the Anglophone world's most consummate stylists, weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary \"backwater\" to an almost totally open society--perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn to a working-class family in the Dublin suburbs, O'Toole served as an altar boy and attended a Christian Brothers school, much as his forebears did. He was enthralled by American Westerns suddenly appearing on Irish television, which were not that far from his own experience, given that Ireland's main export was beef and it was still not unknown for herds of cattle to clatter down Dublin's streets. Yet the Westerns were a sign of what was to come. O'Toole narrates the once unthinkable collapse of the all-powerful Catholic Church, brought down by scandal and by the activism of ordinary Irish, women in particular. He relates the horrific violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led most Irish to reject violent nationalism. In O'Toole's telling, America became a lodestar, from John F. Kennedy's 1963 visit, when the soon-to-be martyred American president was welcomed as a native son, to the emergence of the Irish technology sector in the late 1990s, driven by American corporations, which set Ireland on the path toward particular disaster during the 2008 financial crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA remarkably compassionate yet exacting observer, O'Toole in coruscating prose captures the peculiar Irish habit of \"deliberate unknowing,\" which allowed myths of national greatness to persist even as the foundations were crumbling.

Seven weeks before the Truce of July 1921, the British presence in County Cork consisted of a total of over 12,500 men. Against these British forces stood the Irish Republican Army whose flying columns never exceeded 310 riflemen in the whole of the county. These flying columns were small groups of dedicated Volunteers, severely commanded and disciplined. Constantly on the move, their paramount objective was merely to exist, to strike when conditions were favourable and to avoid disaster at all costs. In 'Guerilla Days in Ireland' Tom Barry describes the setting up of the West Cork flying column, its training and the plan of campaign, which he implemented.

Codenamed Stakeknife, from the late 1970s through to his eventual exposure in 2003 he was the 'jewel in the crown' of a British infiltration system designed to cause mayhem and chaos in the IRA's military operations. O'Rawe gained unprecedented access to Scappaticci's former comrades, who reveal extraordinary details of the inner workings of the IRA's Internal Security Unit. Headed by Scappaticci, this secretive group was known locally as the 'Nutting Squad' owing to its fearsome reputation for the abduction, interrogation, torture and execution of volunteers suspected of working for the British or the RUC. The political scandal at the heart of this story is that Scappaticci's intelligence handlers were aware of almost every abduction and execution he carried out prior to it taking place; a scandal that became the subject of the British government sponsored inquiry, Operation Kenova. In this compelling and extraordinary story of state-sanctioned murder and extreme moral ambiguity in the overriding quest for the protection of 'national security', the truth is truly stranger than fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard O'Rawe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Merrion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.08w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785374470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard O' Rawe is the author of the best-selling books Blanketmen: An Untold Story of the H-Block Hunger Strike, Afterlives: The Hunger Strike and the Secret Offer that Changed Irish History, In the Name of the Son: The Gerry Conlon Story and the novel Northern Heist.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Richard O'Rawe \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47287829889181,"sku":"9781785374470","price":42.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_3f2b93cf-9026-4aab-807d-bf3d1c5d5f4a.jpg?v=1760049667"},{"product_id":"rituals-of-migration-italians-and-irish-on-the-move-9781479825134","title":"Rituals of Migration: Italians and Irish on the Move","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItalian and Irish immigrant experiences\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen people migrate, they often perform social and cultural rituals along the way.

Delving deeply into the inner workings, furtive plots, and deadly rivalries of the Irish Republican Army, Ed Moloney, who has covered the IRA since the late 1970s, delivers a riveting account of how one of the world's oldest and most ruthless terrorist groups was maneuvered into ending its thirty-year war with Britain. With revelations including the IRA's long and astonishing associations with Qaddafi's regime, Margaret Thatcher's secret diplomacy with Gerry Adams, the Catholic Church's clandestine negotiations with Republican leadership, and hitherto undisclosed activities of the American government under Bill Clinton, A Secret History rewrites, with dramatic results, the story of this intractable conflict. In particular, fascinating material on Adams's Machiavellian rise to power establishes the IRA leader as one of the most complex political figures of our time. Like Thomas Friedman in From Beirut to Jerusalem, Moloney brings a sharply intelligent reporter's eye to a tangled history often baffling to outsiders. #1 international bestseller; A Washington Post 2002 Rave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed Moloney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.

Born in the west of Ireland, he grew up in the Celtic Tiger era which shaped his views on politics, culture, and national identity. He holds a B.A. in History and Archaeology as well as an M.A. in Archaeology from the National University of Ireland, Galway. He worked as a field archaeologist at the height of the Celtic Tiger. Witnessing the vandalisation of Ireland's archaeological landscapes, notably the Hill of Allen and the Hill of Tara to make way for economic 'progress', raised early concerns that Irish identity was in existential danger. Lenihan holds a doctorate in Pedagogy from the University of Augsburg. He worked as a teacher of Humanities at second level in Germany and taught student teachers at postgraduate level. After writing for education journals and magazines, he switched his attention to politics. His peer-reviewed empirical study of Antifa uncovered damning evidence of how Antifa in the US infiltrated the national media. It is the largest empirical study of the group to date. His work on violent extremism has appeared on AlJazeera and Fox News among others. He has written for a wide range of international news outlets including The Federalist, The European Conservative, Gript, Daily Caller, Quillette and The Post Millennial.

It discusses the origins and evolution of useful objects, what materials were used and why, and how furniture made for small spaces, often with renewable elements, was innate and expected. Encompassing three centuries, it illuminates a way of life that has almost vanished. It contributes as much to our knowledge of Ireland's cultural history as to its history of furniture. This is a is a substantially different book from Irish Country Furniture, 1700-1950, published by Yale UP in 1993 and reprinted several times. The new book now incorporates the findings of a lot of recent research. Nearly all the black and white pictures in the 1993 book are now in colour, or have been changed for the better, and now include different examples (except archive pictures). Many of the author's fieldwork photographs from the late 1980s, have been digitised and will now be published for the first time. The extent has almost doubled; there are an extra 120 illustrations; the main text has been fully updated and revised; there is a new chapter 'Small Furnishings and Utensils' and there is a new Preface by Louis Cullen. Reflecting the considerable addition of new material, the time scale is also broadened to include discussions of objects and interiors up to 2000. It represents extraordinary value. The book looks at influences such as traditional architecture, shortage of timber, why and how furniture was painted, and the characteristics of designs made by a range of furniture makers. The incorporation of natural materials such as bog oak, turf, driftwood, straw, recycled tyres or packing cases is viewed in terms of use, and durability. Chapters individually examine stools, chairs and then settles in all their ingenious and multi-purpose forms. How dressers were authentically arranged, with displays varying minutely according to time and place, reveal how some had indoor coops to encourage hens to lay through winter. Some people ate communally or slept in outshot beds, in the coldest north-west, all this is illustrated through art as well as surviving objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Kinmonth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cork University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.70w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782054054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClaudia Kinmonth is Research Curator (Domestic Life), Ulster Folk Museum and a Visiting Research Fellow, Moore Institute, NUI Galway.
