Taylor (B. Dublin, 1781-1850), landscape and subject painter, art writer and critic, had in 1819 issued a prospectus of a 'History of the University of Dublin' which was to have been issued in twelve quarto parts each with two coloured plates. This scheme however folded and only a few plates were published. Although he was active in the efforts that led in 1823 to the incorporation of the Royal Hibernian Academy he moved shortly afterwards to London. This history is a greatly expanded development of his earlier intentions and was the best history of the university published up to
that time.

Lisburn born Nicholson was lauded by his peers for his military exploits on behalf of the British Empire in Pakistan and afghanistan and was one of many soldiers of the North West Frontier who created their own mythology of selfless duty and heroism. This work perpetuates the myth, when in reality, Nicholson was an imperialist psychopath who personally supervised the blasting from the guns of 107 mutineers in Peshawar in 1857. If you like fairy tales this is a must.

The first index to prerogative wills was compiled by Sir William Betham, Ulster King of Arms, under the auspices of the Irish Record Commission. Betham superintended the work of indexing and at the same time performed the mammoth task of compiling a genealogical abstract of each record down to 1800 (approximately 37,000). In the 1890's his eventual successor Sir Arthur Vicars revised Betham's index bringing it up to 1810 and first published his results in 1897. A quarter of a century later virtually all Irish wills were destroyed in the Four Courts in 1922, thus making this index an invaluable and important source of genealogical research.

Commissioners were appointed to inquire into the treatment of treasonfelony convicts in English prisons. Reports related solely to the following Irish prisoners and their respective prisons. (1) At Woking Prison the following Irish were confined: thomas F. Bourke, Brian Dillon, Denis D.
Mulcahy, William F. Roantree, John Murphy, Patrick Ryan, edward Power and Rickard o'S. Burke, alias Berry. At Chatham Prison: John Devoy, C.u. o'Connell, John McClure, William Halpin, alias John
Hart, J. o'Donovan Rossa, Henry Shaw, alias Mullidy. At Dartmoor Prison, one Irish prisoner, Patrick lennon. And at Portland Prison: John o'leary, george Brown, t.C. luby, W. Mackay, Michael Sheehy,
Mortimer Shea, alias Moriarty, edward St. Clair, Peter Mohan, John McCafferty, Patrick Doran and Patrick Walsh. Comprehensive Report on the special treatment reserved for Irish political prisoners in English Gaols. While it is obvious that the governors, prisoner officers and general "screws" were desperate to convey the impression of humane and compassionate care the reality is shocking, the Irish prisoners were treated deplorably and in the case of Jeremiah o'Donovan Rossa, his treatment
was little short of barbaric. This is crystal clear from his own evidence before the commission and that of a decent physician Dr. Robert lyons who submitted a special repost roundly criticising the prison authorities treatment of O'Donovan Rossa.

Further enquiry into the treatment of following Irish political prisoners at Chatham: James McKevitt, James Mcgrath, thomas gallagher, albert Whitehead, Henry Wilson, John Curtin, timothy Featherstone,
Patrick Flanagan, Henry Dalton, James McCullagh, thomas Devany, Peter Callaghan, Henry McCann, terence McDermott, James F. egan, John Daly, Harry Burton, James g. gilbert, John Duff, thomas
Callan and Michael Harkins. Among the Irish complaints were their treatment as "special prisoners". Their hostile treatment by the lower officers, fostered by the authorities. Prisoner Wilson stated "The bitter hatred of the average Chatham officer for the Irish Fenian makes itself felt in a thousand ways and we are all ill treated by the lower officers because they know that they can do with impunity". The over all conclusion of this comprehensive report was worthy of Widgery whose "Whitewash Report"
a century later was just one of many produced by the British establisment over four hundred years in relation to the "Irish Question" and which invariably ruled strongly in favour of the Empire against the wiles of "Duplicitous Pat".

British Consul Roger Casement was knighted in 1911 for his investigations into the genocide of tribal inhabitations of the Congo Free State and the Indian natives of the Putumayo Region in the Amazon Rainforest. In July 1910 Casement was instructed by Sir edward grey, The Secretary of the Foreign Office to travel to Peru and investigate the activities of the Peruvian amazon Company in the Putumayo Region. Casement spent 4/5 harrowing months from August to November 1910 in this god forsaken
region and the above correspondence submitted to Gray on his return to London in January 1911 was unprecedented in its horrific descriptions of murder, torture and rape by employees of the Peruvian Amazon Company against the gentle and friendly natives who had been enslaved and forced
to collect and transport rubber along the banks of the Putumayo River. The atrocities were simply appalling. When Casement's correspondence to gray was eventually published in 1912 (delayed due to British/Peruvian Government diplomatic manoeuvres) it created a sensation and Casements
compassionate and humanitarian anger struck a chord with both a British and European audience.

In June 1903, Lord Lansdowne, the British Foreign Minister instructed Roger Casement, their Consul at Boma, to undertake a personal survey of the conditions existing in the Upper Congo. This project was precipitated by vague rumours of unethical behaviour of Belgian overseers on the rubber
plantations. Casement arrived at Leopoldville on the 6th June and for the next 10 weeks traversed the Upper Congo where his worse fears were confirmed. King Leopold's Annexation of over a million square miles of territory in central Africa and his country's rapacious exploitation of the Congo's natural resources of ivory and particularly rubber, was evident. Torture, murder and mutilation were daily occurrences. Casements graphic report to Lord Landsdowne was published in 1904 and his vivid and horrific descriptions of limb amputation, even for trifling misdemeanours caused outrage on publication. Overnight Casement had become a "celebrity". However his disgust for empires and their excesses had been fuelled in the steaming jungles of the Congo with long term disastrous implications for him.
