Byrne Stanton letter to A.B. Stanson, January 16, 1904
No full textLetter from Byrne Stanton of Cincinnati, son of Dr. Benjamin Stanton of Salem, Ohio, to A. B. Stanson at the Periodical Division of the Library of Congress, in response to Stanson's recent inquiry concerning Lundy's anti-slavery periodicals. The letter details Lundy's publishing history and involvement in the abolitionist movement, leading up to his publication of the Genius of Universal Emancipation in 1821. A. B. Stanson, it seems, has been interested in acquiring a complete collection of the papers for the Library of Congress. Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico

Dorothea Donn-Byrne
No full textSilent films in Ireland from 1914 to 1935 focused on Irish rural life, the long struggle for independence from Great Britain, and the civil war that raged from 1922-1923 over the formation of the Irish Free State. Films like those from producers Ellen O’Mara and James Mark Sullivan’s indigenous Film Company of Ireland (1916-1920) specialized in romantic comedies/dramas of Irish life and historical melodramas on the Protestant Ascendency and its exploitation of Irish Catholic tenants. Screenwriter Mary Manning’s Guests of the Nation (1935) explored the Anglo/Irish War (1919-1921) and its devastating impact on the Irish countryside and its people. English-Irish author Dorothea Donn-Byrne worked in and outside this nationalist tradition. As Dolly Byrne, she provided the source material for Enter Madame (US 1922), a drawing room comedy about a self-absorbed opera singer and her troubled marriage, and, as Dorothea Donn Byrne, she wrote the original story for Land of Her Fathers (IE/US 1925), a romantic drama set against the backdrop of the Anglo/Irish War. In her prolific career, Donn-Byrne wrote for the stage and screen, and penned essays and short stories on a variety of topics that reflected the political and popular culture of the Anglo/Irish/American societies in which she lived. Her work in cinema points to the early dependence on source authors and story writers—particularly women—the nature of their contribution as cinematic authors, and the uncertainty surrounding their involvement in production
A Grave Situation: An Examination of the Legal Issues raised by the Life and Death of Charles Byrne, the "Irish Giant"
No full textCharles Byrne was an eighteenth-century celebrity “Irish giant” who requested burial upon nearing death, but whose corpse was procured against his wishes by the surgeon John Hunter. Hunter reduced Byrne’s corpse to its skeleton and exhibited it as the centerpiece of his vast anatomical collection. It has since remained on display in the Hunterian Museum, London. In 2011 it was announced that research conducted on the skeleton’s DNA has revealed that several Northern Irish families share a common ancestry with Byrne. This article considers the legal issues raised by Byrne’s story. The results of fieldwork undertaken by the author in Byrne’s native townland are also discussed, where folk tradition suggests that Byrne wished to be buried foremost at a local site remembered today as “the Giant’s Grave.&rdquo
Letter, April 22, to Mr. Byrne
No full textCobham.
April 22nd.
My dear Mr. Byrne
Nothing could visit me better than what you propose, and I am very much obliged to you. There are rather more schools than I mean to take, but at any rate I shall be taking schools fewer in number and lighter than those I give up, besides their being much more conveniently situated.
The numbering under the present Census is a little different. Farnborough is not a ___ Census District, but is included partly in Farnham partly in Guildford. What you propose
I should take is therefore, at present, the three Census Districts 30, 31, 32 – Chertsey, Guildford, and Farnham.
I had much rather not have this parish where I live, so I am glad it suits you best to keep it. My district will begin in Walton parish, which is across the river, not 200 yards from my house.
There is only one thing. I cannot take the Gildford case in March, being ____ in that month. Would they mind bring changes to June or October, whichever they prefer? Can you ascertain this for me before I write to Lord ___? He will require to be informed that
the Office shall have no trouble about changes of date, and such changes are more easily arranged by the inspector who knows the parties interested than by a stranger. June is a month which managers generally like very well.
We shall be very glad to see you when you can pay us a visit, but give us a few days notice for fear of engagements. Surely you were at Rugby?
I return the ____ of your district, but I keep the list of the schools you propose to assisgn to me.
Believe me, with ____ thanks,
very truly yours,
Matthew ArnoldLetter discussing school districts Mr. Arnold will oversee
