I have discussed this message beforehand with Bill Mulligan, and we think
this is a reasonable use of the Irish Diaspora list...

Friends and colleagues who have visited my home recently will know that I
have in my (very dry) cellar quite a few copies of certain volumes of...

Patrick O'Sullivan (ed.) The Irish World Wide.

Briefly - to make a long story short - some years ago I found that the
publishers were dumping copies of The Irish World Wide on to the remaindered
book market. Without telling me.

I pointed out to the publishers that this was a breach of contract - they
were not supposed to remainder the books without telling me, and were
supposed to offer me first refusal. They replied that they were not
remaindering the books, they were 'de-stocking'...

So, to stop this quibbling, I simply bought all the copies of the volumes
that the publishers did not want. I have, over the years, made a very good
profit on this purchase, and do not need to add to that profit.

So, I want now to GIVE AWAY the remaining copies of the volumes of the Irish
World Wide, to Irish Diaspora list members, their friends and relations...

Anyone who wants the books can have them...

The background problem is that, of course, I cannot afford to post these
books to anyone, anywhere in the world.

But I do now have my bookselling web site...

www.patrickos.com

Which has a Paypal button.

I suggest that anyone who wants free copies of the volumes of The Irish
World Wide contact me at

patrickos[at]patrickos.com

with a request and an address. I will then create a package of books, and I
will cost postage and packing. I will let the intended recipient know the
costs. The intended recipient will then pay those costs into my Paypal
account through patrickos.com. And I will post the books...

The available volumes are (mostly in paperback)...

Patrick O'Sullivan, ed.,
1. PATTERNS OF MIGRATION
2. THE IRISH IN THE NEW COMMUNITIES
3. THE CREATIVE MIGRANT
5. RELIGION AND IDENTITY

NOT available are
Patrick O'Sullivan, ed.,
4. IRISH WOMEN AND IRISH MIGRATION
6. THE MEANING OF THE FAMINE

But - if you want to complete your series of The Irish World Wide - the
missing volumes are out there, somewhere, because of the publisher's
'de-stocking' exercise.

There is a full list of the Contents of The Irish World Wide on
irishdiaspora.net. And I have just put a full list of Contents on
www.patrickos.com

It is better that the books be read and used, rather than languish in my
(very dry) cellar...

Discover Irish

A new website has been installed at Essen University in Germany which is
dedicated to the Irish language. The site is arranged as a system of =
menus
organised to reflect the different aspects of Irish. There is an
introduction to the Irish language, both historical and contemporary, =
along
with a number of overviews of Irish studies, the other Celtic languages, =
the
interface between Irish and English, etc.. The two central parts of the
website are concerned with the different dialects of present-day Irish =
as
well as with the structure of the language, taking regional variation =
into
account. Apart from these modules, there is a comprehensive glossary of
linguistic terms, a set of reviews of linguistics for students as well =
as
maps and illustrations pertaining to Ireland and Irish. Information on
journals which cover Irish and the other Celtic languages is given and =
there
is a large, internally structured bibliography with up-to-date =
references
appropriate for students and scholars alike. Biographical information on =
the
main scholars in Irish studies can also be found.

The cultural framework in which Irish is embedded is also dealt with and
coverage of the manuscript tradition in Ireland, of art and architecture =
and
of Celtic culture in general is given. This provides easy orientation =
for
those who have not previously concerned themselves with Irish. Many =
links to
other websites of interest have been included, e.g. to universities with
departments of Irish/Celtic, and also to institutions, broadcasting
companies, libraries, government departments and book and/or journal
publishers.=20

A special feature of this website is the treatment of spoken varieties =
of
contemporary Irish. There are clickable maps of all the Gaeltachta=ED =
with
many sound files of native speakers illustrating current pronunciation. =
The
chief characteristics of the dialects and the main differences are shown =
in
tabular form. Appropriate sound files which exemplify these can be =
listened
to while viewing phonetic transcriptions.

The website is fully searchable and the material it contains can be
downloaded easily. Navigation around the website can be done either via =
a
menu system or a tree representation of all modules. A full site-map and =
a
list of themes with links is also provided.

The website can be accessed at the following address:

Alternatively, you can simple google "Discover Irish".

This website has been designed and constructed by Raymond Hickey. All =
the
texts and tables are his own and are put in the public domain under the
assumption that if they are used by scholars and students, then =
appropriate
acknowledgement will be made. The anonymous sound files stem from the
project "Samples of Spoken Irish" and were collected in the =

------------------------
Irish will need passports to visit Britain from 2009

Wed, Oct 24, 2007

The Government has instructed senior officials to prepare a plan to deal=20
with the ending of the Common Travel Area between Ireland and Britain, wh=
ich=20
has existed since the foundation of the State in 1922, writes Stephen=20
Collins, Political Editor.

The move follows communication between the British and Irish authorities=20
about the development of an electronic border control system by Britain b=
y=20
2009.

It means that people travelling by air or sea between the two countries w=
ill=20
be required to carry passports, so that information about their travel pl=
ans=20
and movements will be available to the authorities in both states.

The British have decided to develop a so called e-border system in order =
to=20
track the movements of terrorist suspects, criminals and illegal immigran=
ts.

In response to the British decision to press ahead with the implementatio=
n=20
of the system at the earliest possible date, the Government is preparing =
to=20
establish a similar system. Officials have been instructed by the Cabinet=
to=20
prepare a memorandum on the formation of an Irish Border Information Syst=
em=20
and to detail how it will work with its British counterpart.

It is expected that the Irish system would be broadly similar to the Brit=
ish=20
one.
Passenger information will be collected by carriers and sent to an Irish=20
border operations centre, where it will be screened against immigration,=20
Garda and other watch-lists.

At its weekly meeting yesterday the Cabinet was informed of the British=20
determination to press ahead with its e-border system and Ministers were=20
told of the potential impact of the system on travel by Irish citizens to=
=20
Britain and on the operation of the Common Travel Area.

Ministers were also informed of plans, already well advanced, for the=20
development of an Irish Border Information System. The issues will be the=
=20
subject of a detailed memorandum to Government in the near future.

The British e-border system is designed to operate by electronically=20
collecting and analysing passenger information in advance of travel to or=
=20
from the country. This procedure will result in an "alert" if the person=20
travelling is on a watch-list.

Free movement of people between Ireland and Britain has existed for hundr=
eds=20
of years and the Common Travel Area survived Irish independence in 1922 a=
nd=20
the declaration of a Republic in 1949. Throughout the period since=20
independence, even during the second World War and the IRA terrorist=20
campaign, travel has been possible without any identity document between =
the=20
two states.

The British e-border system will automatically require all air and sea=20
passengers to be in possession of a valid passport to facilitate a journe=
y=20
within the Common Travel Area.
While Ryanair has required air passengers between the two countries to ca=
rry=20
photo ID since September 11th, 2001, it is still perfectly legal to trave=
l=20
between the two countries without a passport.

It does not appear that the British intend to apply the e-border to the l=
and=20
border between the Republic and the North, as that would be impossible to=
=20
police.

However, the application of e-border controls in both countries with clos=
e=20
co-operation between the respective authorities would effectively seal of=
f=20
the two islands.
In July the British prime minister, Gordon Brown, said the cabinet secret=
ary=20
had been asked to report by this month on how the e-border could be=20
implemented "very soon".

Mr Brown said the electronic screening of all passengers checking in and =
out=20
of the United Kingdom was a priority. Having a system of e-borders in pla=
ce=20
by 2009 and the introduction of biometric visas by March of next year wer=

Dublin and its vicinity in 1797
Rolf Loeber and Magda Stouthamer-Loeber
University of Pittsburgh

This paper presents an hitherto unnoticed travel journal, describing
Dublin and its vicinity in the summer and autumn of 1797. Its anonymous
author, P.S., had a keen eye for architecture and describes many public
buildings in the metropolis, such as the newly built Custom House and the
Four Courts. In and outside of the city, he gives an account of private
mansions, such as Leinster House, Charlemont House, Castletown House,
Carton, and Lord Charlemont's Casino at Marino. The travel journal also
focuses on landscape scenery, and presents descriptions of demesnes,
waterfalls and garden cottages and temples, many features of which have been
since lost.

P.O'S.

(University of Staffordshire), Malcolm Chase (University of Leeds), Mark
Crail (Chartist Ancestors), Keith Flett (London Socialist Historians' Group)
and Dorothy Thompson (Worcester) will lead a roundtable discussion. Members

The Give Away of the volumes of The Irish World Wide is going well...

I am very pleased to see the books going to the right people, people who
will use them...

I have so far this week spent hundreds of pounds on postage. But the =
Paypal
system is working, and people have been very prompt. So, I am not =
greatly
out of pocket.

The books are there for anyone who wants them. I still have copies...

FAQs

1. Costs...

The 4 books weigh in at just under 2 kilos.

Packaging adds a bit of weight, and often the complete box is over 2
kilos...

Postage to Australia, Canada, USA, is tending to come in at between =
=A311 and
=A315, printed paper, surface mail... And =A321 to =A325, printed paper, =
airmail.

Postage within Europe, including the Republic of Ireland, is tending to =
come
in at between =A311 and =A313, printed paper rate...

Postage within the UK is tending to come in at between =A36 and =A38 =
parcel
post.

I use recycled boxes to send books, but need to charge for packaging - I =
use
a lot of bubble wrap and sticky tape. Plus my Paypal costs, which are
running at between =A31 and =A32 per dispatch. So I am adding =A32 to =
my postage
costs.

2. The 4 volumes...

Mostly I have sent out volumes 1, 2, 3 and 5 in paperback.

But I am running out of Volume 5, Religion and Identity, in paperback. =
But
I still have plenty in hardback.

From now on people are likely to get a mixed paperback/hardback box. =
But
always the 4 volumes.

3. The missing volumes...

The missing volumes, 4, Irish Women and Irish migration, and 6, The =
Meaning
of the Famine, ARE out there. Thanks to the publisher's =
'de-stocking'...

The easiest way to find them is to go to the Bookfinder web site...

http://www.bookfinder.com/

And search by author/editor and volume title...

But I notice that the more reasonably priced copies seem to be =
disappearing.

So that there is at least one clever person on the IR-D list.

Subject: The end of The Irish World Wide


I have discussed this message beforehand with Bill Mulligan, and we =
think
this is a reasonable use of the Irish Diaspora list...

Friends and colleagues who have visited my home recently will know that =
I
have in my (very dry) cellar quite a few copies of certain volumes of...

Patrick O'Sullivan (ed.) The Irish World Wide.

Briefly - to make a long story short - some years ago I found that the
publishers were dumping copies of The Irish World Wide on to the =
remaindered
book market. Without telling me.

I pointed out to the publishers that this was a breach of contract - =
they
were not supposed to remainder the books without telling me, and were
supposed to offer me first refusal. They replied that they were not
remaindering the books, they were 'de-stocking'...

So, to stop this quibbling, I simply bought all the copies of the =
volumes
that the publishers did not want. I have, over the years, made a very =
good
profit on this purchase, and do not need to add to that profit.

So, I want now to GIVE AWAY the remaining copies of the volumes of the =
Irish
World Wide, to Irish Diaspora list members, their friends and =
relations...

Anyone who wants the books can have them...

The background problem is that, of course, I cannot afford to post these
books to anyone, anywhere in the world.

But I do now have my bookselling web site...

www.patrickos.com

Which has a Paypal button.

I suggest that anyone who wants free copies of the volumes of The Irish
World Wide contact me at

patrickos[at]patrickos.com

with a request and an address. I will then create a package of books, =
and I
will cost postage and packing. I will let the intended recipient know =
the
costs. The intended recipient will then pay those costs into my Paypal
account through patrickos.com. And I will post the books...

The available volumes are (mostly in paperback)...

Patrick O'Sullivan, ed.,
1. PATTERNS OF MIGRATION
2. THE IRISH IN THE NEW COMMUNITIES
3. THE CREATIVE MIGRANT
5. RELIGION AND IDENTITY

NOT available are
Patrick O'Sullivan, ed.,
4. IRISH WOMEN AND IRISH MIGRATION
6. THE MEANING OF THE FAMINE

But - if you want to complete your series of The Irish World Wide - the
missing volumes are out there, somewhere, because of the publisher's
'de-stocking' exercise.

There is a full list of the Contents of The Irish World Wide on
irishdiaspora.net. And I have just put a full list of Contents on
www.patrickos.com

It is better that the books be read and used, rather than languish in my
(very dry) cellar...

Colleagues may like to know that there has been a short discussion on
VICTORIA about The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and also Henry
Bernstein's memories of the interface between Irish and Catholics in
Manchester (opposite sides of the same street) in the early years of the
last century.

One of my students asked if there was any discussion of Robert Louis
Stevenson choosing the name of "Mr. Hyde" as a comment on Douglas Hyde and
his activities with the Gaelic League. I am doubtful because of the
chronology, but can't seem to find anything. Anyone on the list have an
idea or a reference.

Thanks

A second question I can't seem to find anything on -- what happened to Capt.
William O'Shea after the Parnell divorce trial? He lived to 1905 but seems
to have disappeared -- at least I can't find him in anything I have access
to. I will check the Times for an obituary tomorrow. Any information or
leads will be appreciated.

Interestingly, nothing so far this semester has led to more student
questions and discussion than this.
