[ The Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland; Charles Wood; the House of Commons, Westminster; John Cam Hobhouse, Lord Brou
The Royal Hospital Kilmainham Dublin Ireland. Printed House of Commons paper on a proposed merger with Chelsea Hospital: 'Copies of Papers respecting the Proposed Abolition of the In-pension of Kilmainham Hospital. Mr. Charles Wood.'
Ordered by The House of Commons to be Printed 26 May 1834. 38 1pp. folio. Disbound. In fair condition on aged paper with the first leaf chipped and frayed at edges. Repaginated with a stamp 119-158. Kilmainham Hospital was a home for retired soldiers along the lines of Les Invalides and much of the material in this paper consists of correspondence of Secretaries of State for War John Cam Hobhouse and Edward Ellice. The volume is a response to Hobhouse's proposal 'to bring into one building and under one management the several establishments of the in-pensioners of Chelsea and of Kilmainham hospitals. . These institutions are not peculiarly appropriated to the worn-out Irish soldier or to the orphans of native Irish soldiers; and the institutions in England are open equally to the British and Irish soldier and orphan I am not therefore aware of any national reason for maintaining separate establishments under separate managements at a very considerable increased expense to the public for institutions which appear to be precisely similar in their objects.' Scarce: the only copy on COPAC at the National Library of Scotland. Ordered, by The House of Commons, to be Printed, 26 May 1834. unknown

[ACTS OF PARLIAMENT]; [IRELAND AND TRADE WITH THE AMERICAN COLONIES]:
AN ACT TO PERMIT THE EXPORTATION OF CERTAIN GOODS DIRECTLY FROM IRELAND INTO ANY BRITISH PLANTATION IN AMERICA OR ANY BRITISH SETTLEMENT ON THE COAST OF AFRICA;
London: Printed by Charles Eyre and William Strahan. 1778. First edition. Folio 32 x 20cm. Unbound. 2 1007-1012. Woodcut coat of arms to the title page decorative woodcut initial to the first text page text in black letter. A very good copy with just a little toning slight separation and minor wear to the left-hand margin where once bound within a larger volume. An act restoring Ireland's ability to export goods directly to the colonies in the Americas and Africa issued in the context of the American Revolutionary War and amending what became known as the Navigation Acts. Restricting the freedoms of Britain's colonies with regard to the import and export of goods the Navigation Acts had been a significant factor in fermenting rebellious discontent in America - requiring all of a colony's imports to be either bought from Britain or resold by British merchants in Britain regardless of the price obtainable elsewhere. The acts were also resented in Ireland and damaged its economy as they permitted the importation of English goods into Ireland tariff-free and simultaneously imposed tariffs on Irish exports travelling in the opposite direction. The present act removing some of these barriers demonstrates the changing nature of British mercantilism as the American Revolution progressed.

[BRODICK (Alan)]
The Speaker. A Poem Inscrib'd to Alan Brodrick, Esq; Speaker to the Honourable House of Commons, Met at Dublin, November the 25th, 1713. Before his Grace the Duke of Shrewsbury.
First and only edition, small 4to (205 x 155 mm), 4pp., drop-head title, small piece torn from inner upper blank margin, disbound. Effusive praise of the politician soon to become Lord Chancellor of Ireland. The occasion of the present pamphlet was Brodrick's return to power as Speaker of the Irish House of Commons after being out of office for two years. He was returned at the 1713 election, held under the lord lieutenancy of the Duke of Shrewsbury, and presumably the date in the title of the poem refers to the occasion of his being chosen as speaker, in a contest with a court-sponsored Tory candidate. What was presumably a Tory reply, A Letter to the Author of the Speaker, appeared soon after (Foxon, L154). Foxon, S620; ESTC locating 5 copies in the British Isles (BL, Cambridge, House of Lords, Dublin Honourable Society, National Library of Ireland); one copy in North America (University of Chicago).

[CROCKER (John Wilson)]
A Sketch of the State of Ireland, Past and Present.
Second edition, [8], 64, [6, adverts for books published by Carpenter]pp., with the initial blank leaf and the half-title, and, tipped in before title, a 3, [1,] page prospectus for Bryan's Dictionary of Painting, and, tipped in opposite front endpaper, a [3] page advert for the Shaftesbury Subscription Library, cont. half calf, worn, rubbed and wanting backstrip, uncut. Supporting Catholic Emancipation. Croker's Sketch (1808) went through twenty editions (it was reprinted as late as 1884) and gained him further notice. It advocated catholic emancipation, a system of national education for all sects, and the payment of the catholic clergy by the state to undermine the influence of Rome. He was harshly caricatured in several fictional works : as the contemptible Rigby in Disraeli's Coningsby; as Wenlan in Thackeray's Pendennis, and as Counsellor Con Crawley in Lady Morgan's Florence MacCarthy.

[CROCKER (John Wilson)]
The Battles of Talavera. A Poem.
Second edition, [ii], 39, [1]pp., recent marbled boards. A heroic poem about the bloody but inconclusive battle at Talavera, southwest of Madrid (July 27-28, 1809), in which a combined British-Spanish force under Sir Arthur Wellesley (later Duke of Wellington) forced the French army of King Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, to withdraw from field. The author, John Wilson Croker, was a high-Tory politician and man of letters, one of the founders of the legendary Quarterly Review and for nearly thirty years its primary contributor. Wellington himself singled out this poem for praise. Surprisingly uncommon: we find no copy of the first or this second edition, Copac locates the third and later editions only.

[CROKER (John Wilson)?]
A Short Letter from Quang-Tcheu. Translated by another Hand.
First edition, 12mo, 21, [1]pp., binder having been rather heavy-handed in shaving margins (2 letters cropped from final line of imprint), a little foxing on the last 2 leaves, disbound. This is a satire on "Cutchacutchoo" which was a game in much vogue in Dublin society at the time, a kind of "Blind Man's Buff," or "Hunt the Slipper" which was criticised as tending to immorality. It was denounced in an anonymous satire, supposed to be written J. W. Croker, who was attacked in various retaliatory squibs. The text is signed at the end "J.T.", possibly written by J. W. Croker.
