Excerpt from Letters, Vol. 1 I have not yet heard whether my predecessors have claimed a right of giving degrees; but if they have, in the present ferment here against the English, it would be very unpopular in me to exercise such a power in favour of one of my countrymen, nor would it answer the end he proposes. He will speedily wait upon your Grace in hopes of obtaining this favour at your hands. I am glad to find, by the King's speech and the addresses of both houses, which is the last news we have had, that you are likely to have a quiet sessions in England, and wish, when our turn comes, we may have as easy a one here. I shall always be proud of receiving your Grace's commands, and am, my Lord, Your Grace's most humble, and Most obedient Servant, Hu. Armagh. My Lord, It was Sunday last before I had the honour of your Grace's of the 17th past: I am very glad to find his Majesty's affairs go so smoothly in the Parliament in England; I could heartily wish every thing was so easy here.

The definitive biography of the British naval officer who found the Antarctic shoreline in the early nineteeth century. Captain Cook claimed the honor of being the first man to sail into the Antarctic Ocean in 1773, which he circumnavigated the following year. Cook, though, did not see any land, and declared that there was no such thing as the Southern Continent. Fifty years later, an Irishman who’d been impressed into the Royal Navy at eighteen, and risen through the ranks to the position of master, proved Cook wrong, discovering and charting parts of the Antarctic shoreline. He also discovered Elephant Island and Clarence Island, claiming them for the British Crown. Edward Bransfield’s naval career included taking part in the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816 onboard the 50-gun warship HMS Severn. Then, in 1817, he was posted to the Royal Navy’s Pacific Squadron off Valparaíso in Chile, and it was while he served there that the skipper of an English whaling ship, the Williams, was driven south by adverse winds and discovered what came to be known as the South Shetland Islands where Cook had said there was no land. Bransfield’s superior officer, Captain Sherriff, decided to investigate further. He chartered Williams and sent Bransfield with two midshipmen and a ship’s surgeon into the Antarctic—and the Irishman sailed into history. Despite many parts of Antarctica and an Antarctic survey vessel being named after him, and a Royal Mail commemorative stamp issued in his name, the full story of this remarkable man and his historic journey, have never been told—until now. Following decades of research, Sheila Bransfield MA, a member of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust, has produced the definitive biography of one of Britain’s greatest maritime explorers. The book also includes a foreword by the Trust’s patron the Princess Royal. “Bransfield’s meticulous research gives us a detailed account of the daily routines of the Navy and the immense amount of maintenance required of a large wooden warship in the Age of Sail.” —Historical Novel Society
Excerpt from The Life of St. Vincent De Paul The two remarkable men to whom M. Bourdoise here alludes seem to have been raised up in times of great irreligion to render extraordinary services to the Church. Jean Clement had been a Huguenot; after his conversion, he devoted himself to the teaching of Christian doctrine, and with such success that it is cal culated in one year he made on an average no less than six converts a day. His practice was to take up vosi tion near the church in which the Jesuit father eron had just been preaching; there, gathering a crowd of auditors about him, he would explain in a plain and popular way the doctrines of the Church, and enforce the arguments of the learned but somewhat severe con troversialist with a sweetness and an unction which few were able to resist. His extraordinary familiarity with the Sacred Scriptmes - for it is recorded of him that he knew nearly the whole of the Bible in French by heart - gave him great influence with the Protestants, and es' pecially with their preachers. He would first let them propose their doubts, and would then answer them with a readiness and a completeness truly marvellous in an uneducated man.
