1735279042Dublin: Samuel Fairbrother 1735. Regarding an important controversy over taxation of landed Protestants of Ireland by the Clergy. Many were forced by economics to sell their lands and leave; the result of this "tythe" was threat of mass emigration to America by the remaining Protestants. A report from an ad hoc committee of the Irish House of Commons called in 1735 to consider an important question on tax burden and emigration. Irish clergy had demanded an additional income from the imposition of a tax for "agistment" pasturage of cattle on Irish Protestant landowners. The committee decided after reviewing the evidence presented in this report that the tax would "impair the Protestant interest" by causing Protestants to emigrate to America reducing the influence of the established church in Ireland. It resolved to find a "proper remedy" though it took no legal action until the Irish House of Commons was dissolved in 1800 when the parliament in London forced an abolition of the old tithes as a formality. 8 folded quarto leaves in a folded drab portfolio.

19704N.p. N.d. Original typescript 5pp on ruled bond. Typed rectos-only. Light soil; single horizontal fold; Very Good. A highly accomplished and moving long poem written in the voice of an unemployed mill-town woman during the Great Depression. Unattributed and undated but apparently based on paper and degree of wear contemporary with the events described.<br/><br/>Whether actually written by an unemployed mill-worker's wife or by a "trained" writer adopting that voice for proletarian effect the poem is remarkable for its unpretentious style and its graphic realistic depiction of the tribulations of unemployed workers during the Great Depression. From its opening line: "All I've ever done in this / Damned life of mine is cry" the poem recounts a series of bleak episodes in a poor southern woman's life: "My man was workin' full - / But now the mill's down / We're all down. / But we still gotta eat / We still got babies to feed . Them big guys up there / They got their bellys full / They got plenty of coal. / Their kids don't have to / Walk tracks lookin' for coal." The author goes on to relate her battles with the "government man" and the WPA but ends the work on a hopeful note: "I'm just so glad that / They give free books at schools / Cause now my boys and girls / Can finish high school And then they'll always have jobs . Too much around me that don't look nice So I'm gonna keep thinking somepin' that is nice."<br/><br/>The poem is unknown to us in any published version though the setting and theme are by no means unique for the period. unknown books
