Burlington, Vt.Thomas D. S. Bassett Cork City Quakers 1655-1939: A BriefHistory. By Richard S. Harrison. Bantry: Privately Published by the Author, 1991. [3], iii, 91pp, illus. Available from the Author for $ 1 8 (including first class airmail postage): 2 Marine Street, Bantry, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. This is a rich and fascinating monograph in which Richard S. Harrison vividly combines the Friend's call to publish the truth with the antiquary's urge to record some ofthe unwritten history ofhis county and its capital. Irish Quakerism has not received the kind of professional attention from modem historians that it has deserved—the continuing researches of Kenneth Carroll, Charles Cherry, and Harrison himselfprove notable exceptions—so we should be particularly grateful for the appearance ofCork City Quakers. Indeed the convincementofWilliamPenn by Thomas Loe in 1 666 endows Cork Quakerism with a formative (iffleeting) role in the Society's story. George Fox visited Cork City in 1669. Furthermore, Thomas Wright (d. 1 724), authorofA History oftheRise andProgress ofthe People Called Quakers in Ireland (amplified by John Rutty and published in 1751), hailed from the neighboring town ofGandon where he had been convinced by Francis Howgill in 1655. Yet by contrast with its activities in England and America, the Society's endeavors in Ireland (let alone those in Cork!) never seemed to acquire major significance. The fiftieth anniversary (1989) of Cork City's new meeting house at Summerhill South (and the thriving state of the Meeting itself) has encouraged Harrison to correct imbalances in recent Quaker history and historiography. Cork City Quakers comprises six well documented chapters: The Quakers come to Cork, Cork Quakers in Commerce, Philanthropy, Cork Friends and the 'Great Hunger', Social Life and Education, Bringing the story up to 1 939. Of these, by far the longest is the second—not unexpectedly, perhaps, since the author recently completed a thesis on Dublin Quakers in Business at Trinity College, Dublin. In Cork, Harrison suggests, Quaker good fortune owed as much to inheritance and dynastic ties as to successful entrepreneurialism and areputation for integrity. He limns connections with Friends in America and England, but shows that most marriages were arranged in Ireland. Harrison follows Cork Quakers through good economic times and bad (the post-Napoleonic era witnessed many bankruptcies) and demonstrates their capacity both to regulate the poor business judgment of unwary colleagues and to embark imaginatively in new directions. In 1815 Cork Meeting numbered among its members (inter al) eleven merchants , two soap boilers, one shovel maker, ten shopkeepers, three ironmongers, five grocers, two bankers, and seventeen clerks (who presumably worked in the Society's mercantilehouses). Members were soon to play leading roles in establishing and running shipping lines, railways, ironworks, and enterprises in the tea and grocery trades. Jacobs cream crackers can still be bought in the supermarket; those Book Reviews43 following in the footsteps of Joyce's Leopold Bloom can still eat at Bewleys in Dublin. Although Harrison doesn't introduce (orunderline) such peripheral details as these, some readers may still find themselves overwhelmed by inventories and bills of lading. From an advertisement in the Cork Constitution, for example, we learn that in 1 830 John Newsom landed a cargo of new mustard, Kensington candles, Jamaica coffee, Double Berkley cheeses, salad oil, Carolina rice, cotton and linen, Bordeaux vinegar, Zante currants, Italian liquorice, Isinglass, citron and candy, pearl and Scottish barley, split peas, chocolate, cocoa, wax and spermacetti candles. But there is much more to Cork City Quakers than inventories trawled up from nineteenth century newspapers. Harrison has a keen eye for the dramatic and the unusual. In 1 828, for example, Richard Abell MD (son ofRichard Abell of Pope's Quay) arrived at the Rotunda in Dublin to deliver a lecture on phrenology to an audience of 2000. The presence of medical students in the entourage which accompanied Abell provoked a riot when excitable members ofthe overflow crowd took them for body snatchers. Abell sought refuge in a police station but subsequently managed to enter the Rotunda where he successfully delivered his lecture..." @default.
