DR. Joseph Fenn Sleigh to James Barry
No full textDr. Joseph Fenn Sleigh (1733-70), Quaker and art connoisseur, practised as a physician in Cork. He had attended the Quaker school at Ballitore soon after Edmund Burke was a pupil there and later studied medicine in Edinburgh where he knew Oliver Goldsmith (1730-74). He was on the staff of the North Infirmary Hospital, Cork from 1759 until his death. Goldsmith wrote an elegy on him (Tim Cadogan and Jeremiah Falvey, A Biographical Dictionary of Cork (Dublin, 2006), p. 311). He was a life-long acquaintance of Burke. Barry, now aged 22, was in Dublin attending classes in figure drawing at the Dublin Society's Art School (The Dublin Society Drawing Schools, Students and Award Winners 1746-1876, compiled by Gitta Willemson (Royal Dublin Society, 2000), pp. 4, 248).non-peer-reviewe

John Wesley letter to James Barry, 1778 February 16

Mr [James] Barry
At the Preaching house
in
Whitehaven
London
Feb. 16, 1778
Dear James
I think the case is clear. She ought to remain with her present husband. The former is nothing to her, no more than if he was dead and buried.
Dwell in the land and be doing good and verily thou shalt be fed.
I am not well pleased that John Fenwick has not been in the Isle [of Man] yet. I expected he would be there long before Christmas. I am, dear James,
Your affectionate brother
J Wesley
[James Barry was not at Whitehaven. The postmaster there marked through the name of the town and returned the letter to London where “Returned from Whaven” was written across the top of the address panel and “Douglas” written in the lower left-hand corner. The unopened letter was then turned over and in another hand redirected to Barry “at Mr Kille’s in Duglas in the Isle of Man.”
43. "Consider whether I show a man\u27s wisdom": The enigmatic Dr. James Barry
No full textNo matter how thorough and diligent the approach to compiling a historical record, occasionally crucial and interesting figures are overlooked. Such is the case with Dr. James Barry.
A nineteenth Century British doctor, Barry was named inspector general of military hospitals and traveled extensively throughout the British Empire. Barry’s story merits telling for both professional and personal reasons. Firstly, in the 1820s, Barry performed what is understood to be the first Cesarean section in which both mother and child survived. However, this notable accomplishment remains absent from many accounts of the history of the cesarean section.
Far more astonishing, however, is that Barry expertly performed his role as a military doctor while somehow concealing his sex, for upon his death he was discovered to not be male.
This paper will examine how a member of the British army was able to conceal such a crucial fact during a career that spanned nearly 50 years. By revisiting army letters, nineteenth Century reports and recent developments, it will be argued that our oversight of Barry’s story is due largely to two main reasons. Firstly, Barry possessed intelligence and skill that gained him the respect of colleagues and superiors alike, and allowed him to quickly rise up military ranks. This respect and high rank no doubt shielded him scrutiny and questioning. Secondly, Barry’s secret was further concealed by a diplomatic and tactful doctor who, after performing a post-mortem, attempted to save face for a doctor he no doubt respected immensely. The circumstances surrounding this attempted concealment as well as the ensuing controversy are examined in this discussion of an elusive and enigmatic doctor.

Tom Dunne and William L. Pressly, James Barry, 1741-1806: History Painter
Full text linkDespite the four books James Barry (1741-1806) authored, and despite his reputation as Britain’s greatest history painter, his achievements were given scant attention until the second half of the twentieth century. One of the reasons may be that his oeuvre is sophisticated and limited (33 pictures), including six murals, which of course cannot be traded on the art market. But this edited collection lifts the veil on many other aspects of Barry's career, suggesting why his work has long remain..
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
