APPENDIX. SIR GEORGE CAREW AND THE Pacata Hibernia : To these the references throughout the earlier chapters of this volume are, of necessity, numerous. Sir George, Queen Elizabeth's "Lord President of Munster," was the chief organiser of the conquest and spoliation of that province. The Pacata is his account of the operations. One Thomas Stafford edited the papers, prepared them for the Press, wrote a dedication of the work to Elizabeth's successor, King James, and got it published in 1636, some years after the death of Carew. Of Carew and Stafford the Rev. C. B. Gibson, M.R.I.A., in his History of the County and City of Cork, gives the following appreciation : " So cool and cruel, so cunning and unknightly a ruler (as Carew) never came to Ireland. We have his effigy in the Pacata Hibernia-a book written by a man who worshipped him as his Magnus Apollo-and a more sinister countenance we never beheld. We have no objection to adopt the former part of the circumscription-for the words go round the picture-Talis erat vultu, sed lingua, mente, manu.” THE REIGN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH, P. 9:— The following account of the characteristics of the O'Sullivan people is given in the Parliamentary Gazetteer of Ireland, published in 1846 by A. Fullerton and Co., Dublin, London, and Edinburgh : "The Sept of the O'Sullivans anciently inhabited most of what now constitutes the baronies of Beare and Bantry. They were inveterate opponents of the English interest and the Protestant Reformation, and acted a zealous and self-ruining part in the great rebellion of Munster, towards the close of the reign of Elizabeth." TYRELL, ONE OF O'SULLIVAN'S MOST TRUSTED CAPTAINS (p. 17): "While some of his (Tyrell's) men were prisoners in the hands of the besiegers, the President propounded a stratagem " to the captain-some accomplished piece of devilment, no doubtby the doing of which he and his men were to get their lives and liberties. He replied: "I will ransom my men with money, if that be accepted, but to be false to the King of Spain, my master, or to betray the Catholic cause, I will never."-Gibson's History of Cork. DON PHILIP O'SULLIVAN BEARE, p. 32: This eminent patriot and litterateur, author of the Historiæ Catolica Ibernia, is referred to by some writers as a nephew of Donal of Dunboy. Judge Madden, in his recently published work, entitled Some Passages in the Early History of Classical Learning in Ireland, so speaks of him; others call him a cousin, which I take to be the correct designation, as his father was not a brother, but a first cousin of Prince Donal. Philip's age was about ten years when Donal, after having evicted the Spanish soldiers from Dunboy, sent him, with his own son, as a pledge of fealty to the King of Spain. Young Philip as he advanced in years developed a high degree of literary talent, and wrote several works in the Latin tongue, all in defence of his religion and his country. Mr. Matthew J. Byrne, of Listowel, Co. Kerry, has rendered valuable service to Ireland by translating into English and getting published (Sealy, Bryers & Walker), a most interesting portion of O'Sullivan's Compendium of the Catholic History of Ireland "-the section relating to the Elizabethan war. I may add that a good deal of Don Philip's literary work was done on board ship while he held a command in the Spanish Navy. ROBBED, DESPOILED, AND DISINHERITED, p. 34: In the valuable work entitled Illustrations, Historical and Genealogical, of King James's Irish Army List (1689), by John D'Alton, Esq., B.L., published in Dublin in 1855, is given, at considerable length, a record of notable members of " this noble Sept." I can here give but a couple of short extracts from the work, indicating how they were harried, despoiled and hunted down: 'In the Attainders of 1642 were Donell O'Sullivan Beare, of Berehaven; Philip O'Sullivan, of Loughandy; Owen of Inchiclough and Drumdivane, Donell Mac Owen, of Drumgarvan ; John Mac Dermody, of Derryne; Gillicuddy O'Sullivan, of Traghprashy; Connor O'Sullivan, of Loughane, and Owen Neagh O'Sullivan, of Drumgowlane, all in the County of Cork. -This Sept was represented at the Supreme Council of Kilkenny by O'Sullivan More of Dunkeiran and Daniel O'Sullivan of Culmagort; while the Declaration of Royal Gratitude, in the Act of Settlement, preserves the names of Captain Dermot O'Sullivan of Kilmeloe, Lieutenant O'Sullivan of Fermoyle, and Ensign Owen O'Sullivan, all in the County of Cork. Of those outlawed in 1691 were Daniel O'Sullivan of Rosmacone, McDermot Cnogher Sullivan and Cornelius Sullivan of Shiskeen; Owen Mac Murtough Sullivan of Berehaven, John Mac Murtough Sullivan of Lanlaurence, Thady Sullivan of Killiebane, Clerk, all of the County of Cork, with Dermot Mac Donell Soolevane of Litton, and Florence Soolevane of Nodden in the County of Kerry." The place-names in the foregoing extracts were printed by Mr. D'Alton as they stood in old documents. In more recent orthography Nodden is Nedeen, a former name of the town of Kenmare; "Lanlaurence" is Clanlaurence; "Rosmacone " is Rosmacowen; "Derryne" is Derreen, and "Traghprashy” is Trafrask. SMUGGLERS AND PRIVATEERS, p. 46:— Privateers were a class of vessels owned by private persons or companies, and employed both for trading and warlike purposes. Their chief business was preying on the commerce of the enemy in war time. They were the highwaymen of the sea, but carried "letters of marque -a sort of licence from their own government to cover their capturing and plundering operations, without which they would be pirates, entitled to no mercy should they fall into the hands of their enemies. The disorganization of trade and commerce caused by vessels of this class became so great that modifications of the system were agreed to by the European governments from time to time, until in March, 1856, the Plenipotentionaries of the Great Powers, in Conference at Paris, arrived at a resolution that:Privateering is and remains abolished.” This Declaration was not pleasing to everybody; there are even now people who hold that after the outbreak of war the speediest way of arriving at a peace is to make the continuance of hostilities as inconvenient and hurtful as possible to one or other or all the belligerent nations. This view is cleverly advocated in a work by Thomas Gibson Bowles, M.P., published in London in 1900. AT FONTENOY, p. 47: Morty O'Sullivan was not the only warrior of his name at the battle of Fontenoy. In the French official return of the killed and wounded of the Irish regiments in that engagement, we read the names of 'Lieutenant Timothy Sullivan,-contused leg,' and "Lieutenant Florence Sullivan,-gunshot in leg." A copy of the list will be found in the admirable paper on The Irish Brigade at Fontenoy," by the Very Rev. P. Boyle, C.M., of the Irish College, Paris, published in the Irish Ecclesiastical Record, for May, 1905. It would be well if this most interesting and valuable paper, with its excellent map of the positions of the opposing forces, were reprinted and issued as a separate tract. A more recent association of the family name with that historic field is supplied by the patriotic action of the Hon. Frank J. Sullivan, of San Francisco, who recently got fixed on the outer wall of the neighbouring cemetery a white marble tablet bearing the following inscription: IN MEMORY OF THE HEROIC IRISH SOLDIERS WHO CHANGED DEFEAT INTO VICTORY AT FONTENOY, MAY IITH, 1745. ERECTED BY FRANK J. SULLIVAN, A handsome memorial cross was set up on the site of the battle by the Irish Literary Society of London in August, 1907. PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD "THE PRETENDER," p. 47: Several executions for the crime of enlisting recruits for the service of the Scottish Prince, and of France, are recorded in the publications of the time. Thus we read in "The Cork Remembrancer, by John Fitzgerald, printed by J. Sullivan, near the Exchange, 1783.”—On April 18th, 1772, Captains Henry Ward and Francis Fitzgerald were hanged and quartered at GallowsGreen for enlisting men for the Pretender. W. STEWART TRENCH, pp. 72 et seq. — When or how Mr. Trench's agency over the Lansdowne estates came to an end I do not exactly know; but subsequently he boomed himself largely in the newspapers in connection with the pill and ointment business. "Trench's Remedies " he proclaimed to be cures for many of the ills that flesh is heir to. I can say nothing for or against them, not having tried them ; but, if indeed they were health restorers, I think it a pity they were not invented early enough to be serviceable to the expatriated Kenmare tenantry in the Lansdowne ward of a New York hospital. The Bantry and Berehaven men stood in with every national movement of their time. Within my own recollection they were Repealers with Daniel O'Connell, Young Irelanders with Smith O'Brien, Phoenix men and Fenians with O'Donovan Rossa and James Stephens, and Land Leaguers with Parnell. Of the Bantry men prosecuted in connection with the Phoenix conspiracy in 1858, no fewer than eight were Sullivans. In the constitutional movement Bere and Bantry gave a remarkably large contingent to the Irish Parliamentary Party. They were: A. M. Sullivan. Thomas J. Healy. William M. Murphy. James Gilhooly. Edward Harrington. went The Messrs. Harrington (who were Berehaveners) Parnellite at the time of the historic " Split," and so differed from the rest of the above-named group, to whom was then humourously or sarcastically applied the name of " the Bantry Band." In reference to this designation a gifted young member of the Parliamentary Party, Mr. John McCarthy, of Roscrea, Member for Mid-Tipperary, published the following verses : "The Bantry band!" "The Bantry band!" Are truer men in all the land, |
