Rivoallan tente ici de dégager les traits originaux des civilisations celtiques et d'apprécier leur apport à celles d'Occident. Ouvrage inégal dans son information (c'est à l'analyse littéraire que l'auteur, par profession, est le mieux préparé). Etrange carrière, en vérité, que celle du capitaine malouin, Jean de Porcon, qui « remplit de ses faits d'armes la fin du XVe siècle » et qui, avant de mourir sous les coups des Ottomans en 1501, eut néanmoins le temps de déloger l'empereur (lequel ?) de Livourne et de figurer, comme Cervantès, à la bataille de Lépante..."

In-8, cartonnage souple gris, tranches marbrées (rel. postérieure), (2) f., xxxiv, 38 p. Edition originale de cet ouvrage composé en français. "Il m'a paru assez plaisant de voir un prêtre irlandois, un docteur en théologie, non seulement prêcher dans une église de Dublin sur l'amour et le devoir conjugal, mais faire imprimer son sermon avec une épître dédicatoire à une jolie milady, dans laquelle épître il établit les prérogatives de la beauté et défend les privilèges du beau sexe d'un style léger, badin et même indécent" (O. Uzanne, 'Le livre', II, p. 56). (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 58:35. Gay I, 118). Bon exemplaire.
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).

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.
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.

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.

John Gough (1720?1791) arithmetician, born and educated at Kendal, Westmorland. After several years spent as a teacher in Pickwick in Wiltshire, he arrived in Ireland in 1750 to take charge of the school at Cork established by his only brother, James Gough (1712?1780). In 1752 he accepted the mastership of the prestigious Friends' school at Dublin, which he held until 1774, and after moved to a similar appointment at Lisburn. He was the author of the Rise and Progress of the People called Quakers, as well as numerous school text books. The verso of the title carries and advert for the "Boarding School at Prospect Hill, near Lisburn." Including a chapter with "Several short stories relative to the Treatment of the Indians in America and the Slave Trade."
