Paperback. Social Thought on Ireland in the Nineteenth Century is a contribution to the intellectual history of Ireland and to the history of human sciences. It seeks to document a selected yet systematic set of views on Ireland as ‘Other’ during the nineteenth century. The contributors represent a range of academic disciplines, and of the ten chapters, six comprise the views on Ireland (social, cultural and political) of significant thinkers from outside the island. The selected thinkers are: Gustave de Beaumont (1802–66), friend of Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–59); John Stuart Mill (1806–73); Harriet Martineau (1802–76); Sir Henry Maine (1822–88); Karl Marx (1818–83) and Friedrich Engels (1820–95); and James Anthony Froude (1818–94). The two significant themes of Celticism and Race – constructs through which the Irish were frequently viewed – are also included in separate chapters, in which attention will be given to the thought of Matthew Arnold and Robert Knox. All of this is accompanied by an historical Introduction by R. V. Comerford and a concluding Afterword by Peter Gray. READERSHIP: Students and academics of Irish history as well as the general reader. EDITOR: Séamas Ó Síocháin is a former senior lecturer in anthropology at the National University of Ireland Maynooth, and the author of Roger Casement: Imperialist, Rebel, Revolutionary and joint editor of The Eyes of Another Race: Roger Casement’s Congo Report and 1903 Diary. CONTRIBUTORS: Peter Bowler, Ciaran Brady, R. V. Comerford, Brian Conway, Dermot Dix, Graham Finlay, Tom Garvin, Peter Gray, Andreas Hess, Michael R.

Although the Sitting Members were not connected with or Participant in that compromise; -There was no Evidence to connect the late sitting Members, or either of them, with knowledge of the existence of such personation, nor of the Bribery practices in their behalf, nor is their any evidence to connect the Defeated Candidates with knowledge of such bribery committed on their behalf; -That the present state of the Registry of Electors in Belfast was most objectionable, the state of the Register induced the practice of a system of Bribery, Perjury and Personation, which occurred at the late Election for Belfast, and all Parties in Belfast concur in expressing strong desire that some legislative remedy should be appilied to this grievance. 152pp. Disbound, housed in a protective file
