43. Consumer Demand as the Basis of Credit, 1969; JJ produced this as a 46-page stapled duplicated pre-print, for promotional circulation, with a view to getting it published; he never succeeded. It was rejected by the SSISI under the influence of Roy Geary, as being philosophical and non-quantitative. I have reproduced it in full here.

44. Monetary Manipulation, Berkeleian and Otherwise, Hermathena CX, 1970.

Articles

46. If France Ruled Ireland / A Dream of Change, by 'Viator'; September (?circa 18+) 1916, Irish Times(?); this was a series of three articles, two of which are preserved in a scrap-book which JJ lodged in the TCD Library in 1971.

47. War Agriculture in France / The Benefits of United Action / A Lesson to British Farmers, from a Correspondent in France, September 29 1916, The Times, London.

48. Manchester Guardian articles, 1917, photocopies; probably by JJ, working in journalistic mode in the aftermath of 1916; they relate to travels which could have been done during the Easter vacation. Box 2.

49. The Anglo-Irish Economic Conflict, Nineteenth Century and After, Vol CXIX, no 708, February 1936. LHBox 7.

50. The Plight of Irish Agriculture, The Fortnightly no 854, new series, London, February 1938. LHBox 7.

51. The Prospects of Anglo-Irish Trade; I have this as galley-proof, and it is for the Banker; circa 1938 or 39; it refers to the recent trade agreement and the economic war as history.

52. Economic Development under Public Enterprise, Irish Times, April 16 1947; he referenced this in the Seanad on the same day. This was a report of a paper he had given in Athlone, possibly as Barrington Lecture.

53. Unfinished Programme, in Sir Horace Plunkett Centenary Handbook, National Co-operative Council, 1954.

53.1 Sunday Press article by JJ on the Common Market; entitled 'The Common Market and the Communist Menace', appeared on December 23 1962 in the Sunday Press. I remember at the time being put off by the use of the cold war term 'communist menace' but it is clear he was primarily using it with the connotation 'heavy-handed State intervention in the free market'.

53.2 Irish Press Articles by JJ: 'Freedom from Hunger'; this a series of articles began on April 19 1963. The first exists as newsprint, and I have scanned it in. The remaining three are somewhat fuzzy carbon copies, and they are more difficult to scan. I have abstracted them where the full text is not available.

54. The Relevance of a Berkeleyan Theory of Credit to the Problems of Today, Irish Press, April 20 1965 or perhaps 1966?.

Fun

56. Kottabistae, Hermathena LXVII, 1946; this is a set of translations into Latin verse of various poetic exerpts. JJ on p115 renders the Ogden Nash quatrain 'You dress yourself in floppy pants...' etc as follows:

Tegmine braccarum cumulasti membra saluto / Deliciae nostrae, sed tua membra tegis; / Adveniens simulas venerem sed versa retrorsun / Quantula tunc praestas, heu, simulacra deae.

(b) Some Residuals from the Books in JJ's Possession

* Publications marked thus were in a package with covering letter, dated 3 November 1971, from Malachi Prunty of the IAOS education section: '...we have most of them here and those we haven't got are not considered of great historical significance.'

History, Philosophy

*2. Seághan an Díomais / Shane the Proud, Conán Maol; Irish Book Co, Dublin, 1901; no 6 in the Léighean Éirean series, historical pamphlet published for didactic purposes in Irish and English on facing pages.

3. The Facts and Principles of Irish Nationality, Browne and Nolan, 1907, by 'Éireannaigh Éigin'; 83 pages, price 6d; this is a scholarly attempt to defend Irish history from Catholic-nationalist revisionism.

4. The Making of Ireland and her Undoing, by Alice Stopford Green, Macmillan, 1909; also by the same author The Old Irish World, Gill & Macmillan, 1912. I have treated ASG and her books at some length because I feel they were probably an important formative influence on JJ during his undergraduate and early postgraduate years.

5. Labour in Irish History, James Connolly, Maunsel 1910, copy autographed by JJ; Box JJ5*.

6. For Ireland's Sake, or Under the Green Flag; a Romantic Irish Drama, J and JM Muldoon (Ponsonby, Dublin, 1910). It seems JJ bought this in September 1915, wrote his name, address 30 TCD, and the date in it, and then somehow it turned up via the the Dungannon Royal School archivist Norman Cardell during my contact with him in 2000. It stimulated me to look into the Ulster dimension of the national theatre movement.

7. Sinn Fein Rebellion Handbook, 1917 issue, compiled by the Weekly Irish Times.

8. History of Trade Unionism 1666-1920, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Workers Educational Association edition 1919; JJ acquired this on 22/02/46. There are annotations, some of which are in JJ's writing.

9. Scandinavian Relations with Ireland during the Viking Period, A Walsh, Talbot Press, 1922.

10. Glimpses of an Irish Felon's Life, Tom Clarke, Maunsel and Roberts, 1922.

11. Reprints of sermons in pamphlet form by Rev E Savell Hicks, preached at the Unitarian Church, Stephens Green, Dublin; there are seven, four of which are undated; the others are dated 1918, 1923 and 1925. The 1918 one commemorates the restoration of the Wilson Memorial Window, in memory of Thomas Wilson who fought in the American War of Independence, was aide-de-camp to George Washington and who became the first US Consul in Dublin. Other titles are 'Live and Let Live' (1923) and 'the Spirit of Innovations' (1925).

12. The New Departure in Irish Politics 1878-9 by TW Moody, reprint from Essays in British and Irish History ed HA Cronne, London 1949; inscribed by TWM to JJ.

13. Michael Davitt and the British Labour Movement 1882-1906, TW Moody; reprint from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 5th series, Vol 3, 1953; inscribed by TWM, and underlined by JJ, particularly Davitt's statement '..no one can say absolutely what is and what is not the duty of the State...it is for every successive generation... to say.. etc'.

14. The Seeker, poems by Maurice Wilkins, Dolmen Press, 1960, inscribed 'to JJ from his old friend the author, with every good wish...18th Oct 1960'. My sister remembers him well as a frequent visitor during her childhood.

15. Mrs George Berkeley and her Washing Machine, IC Tipton and EJ Furlong, Hermathena CI, Autumn 1965; this insight into the life of Berkeley through some notes left by his wife, at the end to ther days in Oxford, contains the first literary reference to the term 'washing machine'.

16. The Case Against the Common Market; no named author, but probably Anthony Coughlan; Assessment pamphlet 2, the first one being 'Labour and the Republican Movement, by George Gilmore; this was published by the Dublin Wolfe Tone Society in May 1967, as from the address of the present writer RJ. JJ had read this pamphlet and marked selected paragraphs. My sister chaired the Nenagh anti-EEC campaign; it was her introduction to politics. She subsequently became a Labour Party activist and served on the Administrative Council, and on the Midwestern Health Board.

17. The Irishness of the Irish, Estyn Evans; reprint of paper to the Irish Association, Armagh, September 22 1967.

Politics, pamphleteering

19. How Ireland is Treated by her "Friends", William Pentland, Dublin 1898; this is a pamphlet highly critical of the Land League, by an author associated with the Tenants Right Movement in Westmeath.

20. 'Lest We Forget', or questions and comments touching the evolution of the Home Rule or Fenian Conspiracy, by 'a Philosophic Radical'; Hodges Figgis, Dublin, no date given, but perhaps related to the 1906 election. There is an undated review of the booklet from a Belfast paper which on the reverse side has a reference to Wednesday September 9(?) and Friday August 28. There is a news item about a 'hunger march' at Lydd in Kent.

21. For Ireland's Sake - Under the Green Flag, J and JM Muldoon; Ponsonby (Dublin), Simkin, Marshall, Hamilton & Kent, (London) 1910; this is a 'romantic-nationalist' drama, dedicated by the authors to the memory of Emmet, Fitzgerald and Tone; JJ wrote his name in it in September 1915; there is an annotation in JJ's writing which suggests that he regarded the national aspirations as being 'fulfilled in John Redmond (under?) Asquith'. It has a stong local Dungannon flavour. JJ must have

22. Religious Intolerance Under Home Rule ed Jeremiah MacVeagh MP; Irish Press Agency, 1911; this consisted of letters from over 100 prominent Protestants in favour of Home Rule, and discounting the 'Rome Rule' bogey as promoted by the Orangemen. This was a source-book for 'Civil War in Ulster'

23. Dublin Castle and the Irish People, R Barry O'Brien, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & co, London 1912; this is inscribed AE Johnston, the Cottage, Stillorgan, which dates it acquisition to the early 1920s; my Aunt Annie probably got it to give her some background understanding of the Civil Service which she by then had joined. My sister agrees with this.

24. A Protestant Protest Ballymoney, October 24 1913, price one penny; this reprint of the proceedings of the famous Liberal Home Rule rally contains the records of speeches in the Ballymoney Town Hall. The Foreword is signed 'W'. The printed contributions are from Captain JR White DSO, Mrs JR Green, Sir Roger Casement, Mr Alex Wilson JP, Mr John Dinsmore (jr) and Mr William Macafee BL. I have written about this in my Introduction to the 1999 re-edition of JJ's Civil War in Ulster

25. The Great Fraud of Ulster, TM Healy MP, Gill, Dublin, 1917.

*26. Thoughts for a Convention: Memorandum on the State of Ireland, by AE, Maunsel, 1917.

27. How to Settle the Irish Question, Bernard Shaw, Talbot Press, Dublin and Constable, London, December 1917.

28. Ourselves Alone in Ulster, Alice Stopford Green, Maunsel, Dublin, 1918.

29. Thomas Davis: The Thinker and the Teacher, collection with preface by Arthur Griffith, and essays by Gavan Duffy, John Blake Dillon, John Mitchel and others. Gill, Dublin 1918.

30. A Plea for Justice, AE, being a demand for a public enquiry into the attacks on co-operative societies in Ireland; Irish Homestead pamphlet, 1921.

31. The Inner and the Outer Ireland, by AE, Talbot Press, Dublin, 1921.

32. Ireland and the Empire at the Court of Conscience, AE, Talbot Press, Dublin, 1921.

33. Ulster in 1921, by 'the author of 'Tales of the RIC', Blackwood, Edinburgh and London; reprinted from Blackwood's Magazine, October 1922.

*34. The Case for the Treaty, Alfred O'Rahilly, Professor of the NUI, no date and no publisher's imprint.

35. The Truth about the Treaty, Robert Barton, National Series no 2, reprint from The Republic of Ireland, no date given, but probably 1922.

36. Free State Promises: Are They True?, unsigned, National Series no 4; this and the previous pamphlet presumably are examples of Erskine Childers' output at the time of the Treaty debates.

37. Arguments for the Treaty, Arthur Griffith, Martin Hester, Dublin, 1922(?); there is a similar one by Michael Collins.

38. Bulletin de la Societé Autour du Monde 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929; also Juin 1931 which includes the 1930 issue. JJ had a short outline of the current Irish situation in the 1926 issue. The delay in publication of the 1930 issue would have been due to financial constraints brought on by the 1929 financial crash. There were no subsequent issues in JJ's possession.

39. A Tour in Ireland, Arthur Young (1780), ed Constantia Maxwell, Cambridge UP 1925; acquired by JJ 1/06/28.

40. Towards a Better Ireland; report of a Conference on Applied Christianity held in Dublin, January 1926; speakers included RM Henry and Lionel Smith-Gordon. (This seems to have been an attempt by the Home Rule-supporting Liberal Protestant community to develop a constructive critical voice in 'civil society' mode. RM Henry helped to lobby Asquith after the Ballymoney rally, and Smith-Gordon we have met as a Socialist in Oxford, and later at the 1924 Commonwealth Co-operative conference organised by the Plunkett Foundation. RJ Oct 2000.)

41. The Political Future of India, James Johnston, PS King, London, 1933. This book by JJ's eldest brother gives useful insights into the British imperial system.

42. Can the Hindus Rule India?, James Johnston, PS King, London, 1935. James wrote this in his retirement; he compared the current proposals to pre-Reform England.

43. Hindu Domination in India, James Johnston, PS King, London, 1936; this is a sequel to the 1935 book. This sequel carries an advertisement by the publisher for JJ's 1934 'Nemesis of Economic Nationalism'.

The analysis of James Johnston's experience in the Indian Civil Service is outside the scope of this work, but it is evident that he was very critical of the Hindu culture, particularly regarding the treatment of the 'untouchables'. My sister regards his work as important and under-appreciated.

44. The Price of Irish Neutrality, by Henry Harrison OBE MC, Commonwealth Association, London, 1943; 'an invocation of historical truth in reply to Henry Steele Commager, Professor of History at Columbia University, New York'.

45. Czechoslovak Policy for Victory and Peace, Dr Edvard Benes, Czechoslovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs, London 1944.

46. Ireland's Economy; Radio Eireann talks on Ireland's part in the Marshall Plan; March and April 1949, three talks by by Sean MacBride, with responses by JE Carrigan and WH Taft on behalf of the ECA Mission to Ireland.

47. PR in Ireland, Proinsias Mac Aonghusa; a reprint of six articles published in the Irish Times; undated; must have been 1959, when de Valera became President and the people rejected the constitutional amendment abolishing PR which was linked to his election.

48. I Accuse: A Monstrous Fraud which Deceived Two Continents, Herbert O Mackey; no date, no publisher's imprint, printed by Cahill; a copy signed by the author; it is a polemic exposing the Casement forgeries.

49. The Royal School Dungannon 1614 - 1964; commemorative booklet, with letter from James Kincade the Headmaster, thanking JJ for his donation to the building fund.

50. Burntollet; Bowes Egan and Vincent McCormack; LRS Publlishers 1969; an illustrated blow-by-blow account of the ambush of the January 1969 Civil Rights march from Belfast to Derry.

57. Lombard Street, Walter Bagehot, ed E Johnston, 1904; no indication when pruchased, but extensively marked; this would have been JJ's introduction to the understanding of the nature of money.

58. Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith, 1905 edition, with introdction by Dugald Stuart; JJ put his name and address in it, 25 Fitzwilliam Square, and 38 TCD; this dates the purchase to sometime around 1915-16. It is extensively marked and annotated.

*59. Templecrone: a Record of Co-operative Effort, by AE, IAOS Leaflets no 22, new series, 1 December 1916.

60. Principles of Economic Geography, RN Rudmose Brown, Pitman, London, 1920. JJ wrote his name on this on 16/10/21, he then had rooms in 9 TCD; it is much marked.

*61. Education Department programme of the Belfast Co-operative Society, session 1920-21.

62. Rural Reconstruction, Henry W Wolff, Selwyn & Blount, New York, 1921; copy signed by JJ and dated 10/01/22, at 9 TCD; much underlined.

63. The Shannon Scheme, Thomas A MacLaughlin, Sackville Press, undated, probably 1924.

64. The Electrification of the Irish Free State; report of the experts appointed by the Government, Borgquist et al, 1925. The name of EH Alton was on this; he was the TCD representative in the Dail at the time, and he must have passed it to JJ for comment.

65. The Dilemma of Thrift, WT Foster & W Catchings, Pollak Foundation, Newton, Massachusetts, 1926.

66. The Golden Crucifixion of John Bull, WH Wakinshaw & HJD Thompson, Economic Freedom League, Newcastle on Tyne, no date given, but there is in it a letter from the author dated 5/07/27, to which JJ replied.

69. The Collapse of the Monetary System, Johan Jacobsen, published by the author, Copenhagen, March 1932.

70. Monetary Policy and the Depression, George O'Brien, SSISI 5 October 1933, reprint.

71. To Tell you the Truth, WT Foster, Pollak Foundation, Newton, Massachusetts, 1933. This is a polemic aimed at the consumer alerting him to the high cost of hire-purchase credit.

72. Bishop Berkeley: the Querist, Ellen Douglass Leyburn, Proc RIAS, XLIV, Section C, No 3; read June 28 1937, published December 15 1937; this was in the context of a Yale PhD.

73. The State and Economic Life, Anwar Iqbal Qureshi, New Book Co, Bombay, 1938. The author had been a lecturer and research assistant in economics in TCD, and had become Head of the Economics Department, Osmania University, Hyderabad Deccan. "Being a Study of the Methods of State intervention in Economic Life in the Leading Countries of the world, with special reference to the Problems facing India". JJ had marked many passages. My sister remembers him as a frequent visitor during her childhood.

74. The Economics of War, GA Duncan, Hermathena XXVIII, 1939; compliments of author, much underlined. Duncan, though junior to JJ, leapfrogged JJ to get the Chair of Economics in TCD, JJ being relatively less qualified, due to his classical background. They remained on good terms. JJ eventually had an Applied Economics Chair created for him.

75. Food, Health and Income, John Boyd Orr, Macmillan, London, 1936.

76. Papers by Henry Kennedy: The Future of Agriculture in Ireland, reprint from the Irish Monthly, October 1938; this was a Social Order Summer School contribution, and was marked in detail by JJ, and referenced directly or by implication in his Seanad speeches; the key message as to 'use the plough to grow better grass' and in support of systematic winter feeding of livestock. There is a compliments slip from the Secretary of the IAOS. Another one, Agriculture and the Banking Commission is a reprint from Studies December 1938, and is also heavily marked; the key message is the deterioration of agricultural practice in the context of the Economic War'. This was also Seanad material for JJ.

77. Can Britain Feed Herself on Home-produced Foods?, HH Jones; Vegetarian Society, Manchester, undated, but probably 1941. Unmarked, but contains typescript notes by JJ folded in, perhaps towards a review, the thrust of which it the mobilisation of the consumer co-operative movement in support of the Boyd Orr thesis.

78. A Select Bibliography of Economic Writings by Members of Trinity College, Dublin, RD Collison Black, Hermathena LXVI, 1945; with author's compliments.

79. National Investment, Louden Ryan, reprint from Studies, Winter 1945.

80. Report on Rural Electrification, Stationary Office, P6530, undated, but must have been 1945; this Report was produced for Sean Lemass (Industry and Commerce) and JJ welcomed it in the Seanad on March 7 1945.

81. The Irish Meat and Livestock Industry, Thomas Shaw; reprint from Studies September 1946. There are comments by JJ, TA Smiddy, J Hughes and EJ Sheehy in the same issue. JJ also used this in his Seanad arguments. LHBox 7.

82. Farming in Irish Life, TW Freeman, reprint from the Geographical Journal, July-Sept 1947; this was a complimentary copy given to JJ by the author, and is marked.

83. Economic Studies at Trinity College Dublin, pt 1, RD Collison Black, Hermathena LXX, 1947; author's compliments. 84. Centenary 1847-1947 Proceedings, SSISI, October 6-9 1947.

Although 'Charlie Riddell' receives honourable mention in Patrick Bolger's 1971 history, the latter does not reference this book. JJ however seems to have used it, as it is marked.

*90. Co-operative Year Book 1956, National Co-operative Council.

91. Planning for Economic Development, Patrick Lynch & CF Carter, Tuairim pamphlet 5, September 1959.

92. An Appraisement of Agricultural Co-operation in Ireland, P7467, Stationary Office (the Knapp Report) 1963. (This is now in JJ5, RJ 22/04/05)

93. Lauredale, Malthus and Keynes, Paul Lambert, reprint from Annals of Public and Co-operative Economy, 1966, no 1.

94. Irish Agricultural Production - Its Volume and Structure, Raymond Crotty, Cork University Press 1966; JJ got to review this in the Irish Times.

95. Free Trade with Britain, Garrett Fitzgerald, Business and Finance, undated, probably circa 1969, price one shilling.

96. Irish Journal of Agricultural Economics Vol 3 no 1, 1970; this has a paper by BC Hickey on Economies of Size in Irish Farming which contains a graph on p55 showing the rapidly declining cost per unit of output as a finction of size. JJ must have kept this as a vindication of what he had been saying all along, though he was not referenced.

JJarchive 5

35. Political letters relating to the War of Independence and Civil War period; Boundary Commission, Childers, Collins, Kevin O'Higgins, Dermot MacManus (to whom I think the Pierrepoint file can be attributed). My sister remembers particularly Kevin O'Higgins and Erskine Childers. Box JJ4LH.

(36 unused)

37. Feedback relating to the Nemesis of Economic Nationalism.

38. Lemass letter of 1932; the Fine Gael leadership meeting of 1934; a Spring Rice poem from PC Duggan; a letter from one J Warren, a Unionist, undated, but probably reacting to his Seanad maiden speech in 1938. Box JJ4LH.

39. Paper written in 1937 and never published: The Place of Wheat in Irish Agriculture; JJ used the arguments of this repeatedly in the Seanad. It was clearly intended as an academic paper, so I reference it in that thread, and make it available in full.

40. Miscellaneous press cuttings relating to the economic war environment, 1937-37; raw material for JJ's then writings. There are also US-originating cuttings, relating to Roosevelt and the New Deal, and editorial comment on JJ's ideas.

41. JJ and Judge Wylie in 1941 on national emergency political economy; there is also an Irish Times poster for December 6 (1944?) which perhaps relates to an altercation between JJ and Aiken. A further cutting relates to the flag-burning incident in 1945. I have treated these in the 1940s political module. I also include here a letter to the Irish Times dated June 1 1950, in response to one from the US Ambassador, relating to Irish neutrality during the war, and the question of US bases. Box JJ4LH.

42. Correspondence with Dermot MacManus in 1965, relating to his Irish Literary Revival paper delivered at Harrogate, and his Killeaden paper on the Raftery background; also TR Henn.

43. JJ's press campaign during the Economic War. Includes US-originating stuff reviewing his book. I have also filed here JJ's 1939 passes for the Lords and the Commons, during his London visit in April of that year.

44. Sr John Ervine correspondence 1942 re Seanad; feedback re stove to heat glasshouses; George O'Brien re draft of '..Transition'; Knocklong co-op 1948. There is also a letter dated 27 May 1941 from 'Meta' (signed also Margaret O'Flaherty) to JJ as Senator, relating to the deportation of Stella Jackson, who has been living (in 'sin') with Ewart Milne in Meta's house, Kilmacavea, Leap, Co Cork. The police raided at 4.30 a.m. Meta gave some Stella Jackson background; she was the author of a pamphlet of the Fabian Society on Partition, and 'a person of some account'. Meta suspected that the deportation was on foot of her non-marital status, if so 'a contemptible reason'. She concludes 'tell Annie to come down and see me'. According to my sister Meta was a friend of our aunt Ann. Box JJ4LH.

(I can add some background to this letter: Stella Jackson was the daughter of Thomas A Jackson, author of 'Ireland Her Own', the first attempt since Connolly to publish a Marxist history of Ireland. TAJ was a British Communist Party stalwart. The deportation took place before Hitler attacked the USSR, and the Russo-German Pact still nominally held; in this situation the CBGB was anti-war. There may therefore be more to this episode than met the eye at the time. There is a note on the envelope by my sister, as follows: 'Meta (née Barrington) married Professor Carter, left him for Liam O'Flaherty'. JJ had written on the envelope 're Meta O'F'

I had some contact with Stella Jackson in the early 1960s, when in London, via the Connolly Association; it is a pity I was unaware of this episode at the time; I would certainly have explored it further had I known. RJ.)

45. Irish Association material, 40s and 50s. Includes 40s Bulletins (printed) and some 50s essays, including the printed prize essay by William Ward, and another one relating to the Isles-Cuthbert Report. Also the local press reports of the Kilkenny Debates, and the Mary McNeill History of the IA. I have included here also the 1948 Protestant school speech-day stuff (Drogheda and Dungannon), the signed 1951 Irish Association dinner menu, and the Charter of TCD verses by 'Rabach' which seem to relate to the 1948 'declaration of the republic' situation and the TCD response. Box JJ4LH.

46. Irish Association 1960s material, including the Estyn Evans paper, and JJ's 1963 proposal for a 'common market of these islands', and correspondence relating to it. There is correspondence with Irene Calvert, and a positive assessment of the incoming President Martin Wallace by Sir Graham Larmour, with an attached article by him attacking the Orange Order. Box JJ4LH.

47. Plunkett House Library stuff, including Irish Statesman material. Box JJ4LH.

48. Seanad Election addresses; correspondence with James Douglas in 1950 relating to JJ's standing down as TCD Senator; his 1939 'speech book'. Also Dev's 1951 nomination telegram, and a letter from Dev thanking him for his book Irish Agriculture in Transition. Also a short press report of the 1959 Seanad election, when JJ stood but lost to Fearon. Box JJ4LH.

49. Some 50s correspondence; includes Bob Barton letter re hobby farming in Wicklow; also Tolstoy and Couris letters (the Collon Russian emigre group). There is also a letter from one F O'Hanlon, who it seems occupied a flat in Fitzwilliam Square near to JJ in 1918; he had read a report in Peace News of an address to the Church of Ireland Peace Fellowship. He enclosed an article of his in the paper 'Labour's West Sussex Voice', in which he had been critical of Labour policy on rearmament etc, and expressed empathy with JJ. I have also included here an account book which JJ kept, in a 'desk diary for 1933', accounts for a period in the 40s and 50s. This may throw light on the economics of his Grattan Lodge market gardening experiment. Also the Thekla Beere letter about the Naas rail-link, noted in the 50s Barrington or 'outreach' thread.

50. Material relating to the Dublin Universities merger debate inthe 60s; also the closure of the Albert College. I have reproduced and abstracted this in the 1960s political module.

51. Irish Press article series 'Freedom from Hunger', commencing April 19 1963. There is also a 'reply to professor Yudkin's paper at UCC on Sunday April 28, 1963' which covers similar ground; it was given by one C Murphy who may have been a JJ acolyte.

52. Contains misc correspondence to JJ in the 60s, including Sean T Kelly of the Multifarnham Agricultural College, Julian Mac Airt of the TCD Statistics Dept, and also re a primary school near Vicarstown. There is also a notebook covering some travelling JJ did in Mayo in the mid-60s, in which he recorded meeting some contacts given him by RJ.

53. Correspondence in the mid 60s relating to, and reviews of, 'Irish Economic Headaches', including a letter from MJ Costello, and T O'Leary of the Irish Houseowners Association, who had read a review. He sent a memorandum for consideration.

54. Early 60s papers and comments related to 'Why Ireland Needs the Common Market'. Includes an acknowledgement from BR Sen the DG of the UNFAO. There is also a paper 'The Common Market and the Communist Menace' which appeared in the Sunday Press on 23/12/1962. The 'communist menace' is in fact a label he uses for centralist bureaucratic price-fixing. In a separate folder is correspondence with Mercier Press the publisher, and in a further separate folder some records relating to the Nenagh anti-common market campaign; JJ was living in Nenagh with my sister at the time.

JJ archive 6 in Box JJ4.2

56. Peace movement letters, relating to Northern Ireland and to Vietnam, from Peadar O'Donnell, Moira Woods and Conor Farrington; the latter is a copy of a joint letter submitted to the press signed by notables; it is undated but relates to the situation post August 1969. One of the CF letters notes the appreciation on the part of Catholic victimes of the concern by Southern Protestants. There is a JJ membership card of the Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement dated 1971, and an Irish Democrat book-list. Box JJ4LH.

57. Letters and drafts from the mid-60s showing his continuing attempts to publish for a lay 'opinion-leading' readership; they include an attempt to get his 1937 'wheat' paper published through the Agricultural Institute, and a development of his comments on Attwood's related SSISI paper published in the Economist.

58. Late 60s letters and drafts relating to the Northern Ireland question, including a typescript embodying some of his Boundary Commission experience, to the effect that the Border, if drawn to minimise the number of unwilling citizens, should run from the northern tip of Monaghan to a point just east of the entrance to Lough Foyle. There is also a letter from Professor W McC Stewart of Bristol, with an enclosed copy of an article by him, supportive of the status of Magee College in Derry, critical of the Lockwood Report, and the situation in the Coleraine campus of the New University of Ulster, staffed mainly with English academics. He had hoped to meet JJ at the 1969 scholar's dinner in TCD, but there is a copy of a letter from his sister Anne indicating JJ's imminent hospitalisation for a hip replacement. Box JJ4LH.

59. A further letter from Attwood, dated 16/04/68, declining a submission by JJ to a planned conference inthe Montrose Hotel. This occurs with, and may be related to, a copy of a paper by Alfred Latham-Koenig on 'Intermediate Technolgies for Developing Countries', read at the Milan International Development Conference on June 7-10 1967.

60. Letter from the Taoiseach Sean Lemass dated 23/03/65 thanking JJ for his paper on the Berkeley Theory of Credit. He sent the same paper to de Valera, apparently after a meeting with him, and received an acknowledgement from him dated 03/10/66, in which Dev expressed the hope that it would revive interest in Berkeley's economic work, and that there would be a demand for the projected 'Querist' book. Box JJ4LH.

This was JJ's unpublished 'Consumer Demand as the Basis of Credit' monograph, which the then SSISI influentials (Geary, Whitaker et al) had declined as being too philosophical and not econometric enough. RJ December 2000.

61. Miscellaneous draft letters from his last few years, some unpublished, mostly published, in which case they were kept by my mother in her scrap-book (see 75 below), and where they exist loose I have transferred them to this folder. There is also a response, dated 20/06/66, from John Carroll, then Chief Industrial Officer of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, later President of the union, with some critical comments on a paper JJ had sent him. I have been unable to identify which paper it was; by then JJ was having trouble in getting things published, and he tended to work in 'samizdat' mode, with duplicated copies. Carroll took exception to JJ's assertion that CIE workers were 'regular recipients of taxpayers' bounty'. He was however supportive of JJ's attempts to get the issues discussed.

62. 1. RJ-Oxford correspondence, see below. Also 2. RJ-Tuam correspondence re Bobby Burke; see also below. RJ retained.

Primarily Relating to the family, still Box 4.2

64. Letters from James; papers dealing with Alan's final years, cremation and scattering of the ashes at Killygarvan. RJ retained.

65. Extracts from the Dungannon Royal School records, re JJ and brothers. I include also in this folder a photo, some correspondence and a lock of hair relating to some lady with a Scottish connection who is not my mother. I seem to remember my mother remarking about some such connection which was prior to her own. JJ archive 6 in Box JJ4.2

66. Miscellaneous letters, family-related, but some with a political flavour, from the 1910s and 1920s period, sources mostly unidentified; includes a letter from Uncle Henry (Geddes) in Vancouver dated 1913, seeking a job back home, also my uncle Harry's (JJ's elder brother, the medical) commission in the RAMC; there is also an acknowledgement from the Provisional Government of JJ's letter of condolence on the death of Michael Collins, and a 1926 driving licence. There is also a begging letter to JJ from one James Stern, Balnagor, 1929, who had been schooled by John Johnston in Tullyarran, confirming the latter link. JJ archive 6 in Box JJ4.2

67. JJ's 1945 notebook 'History of the Johnstons'; this contains a partial family tree going back to 1748, and pointers to how it might be further researched. There is some insight into the MacLean connection, and a letter from a John Philip Johnston in Alabama. I have included in this folder some pedigree material found in a separate box-file, labelled 'family'. I have also included in this folder also my own correspondence with Gordon and Kaye Johnston, of Goff's Harbour, NSW, Australia; this includes a draft family tree going back to a Joseph Johnston circa 1720. In this it is suggested that a brother of my grandfather went to Australia, and that his family would be as close to ours as are the Achesons. There are however discrepancies, and I have not pursued it. The Johnstons are a somewhat numerous tribe in Tyrone; this must in my time remain unfinished business. RJ retained.

68. Folder 1 Contains a notebook of my mother's dating from circa 1908, and also her 1916 'Ladies Yearbook 1915' with her diary of her Australian trip; it also contains her brother Harry's 1915 recruiting paper, her 1911 teaching diploma, a lesson plan relating to Christchurch Cathedral, presumably a graduation test, and marriage certificates of her mother's parents and her maternal grandmother's parents (1825). Folder 2 contains my father's letters to her when separated on the world tour. There are also photos of my mother at her school circa 1913-4.

JJarchive 7, Box JJ4.2

Here is serendipity at work. I had no idea who Rutherford Mayne was, but it turns out he was one of the leading lights in the Belfast manifestation of the Irish theatre movement in the 1900s. So I have given some pointers to this, in a short essay in the political channel.

70. Envelope containing various dinner menus and seating plans. I have analysed these for insights into where JJ stood in the 'pecking order' inside and outside College, over the period 1920 to 1960. I have also filed here some press reports of speeches made by notables, including Dukes the 1917 Chief Secretary, and by Sir Horace Plunkett in 1920.

71. Envelope containing a selection of mostly family letters which JJ kept for one reason or another, mostly peripheral to this work. Among them is his last letter from Limerick hospital, before they operated (he succumbed to the effects of the anaesthetic); it is dated 19 August 1972; also letters re James's death in 1937; Cynthia from Africa in 1944 on war service, mentioning RJ at school (she must have been in touch). Germane to the present study are: (a) JJ's 22/07/1914 Masonic parchment, accrediting his membership (he had joined the Longford lodge to please my mother's father; he resigned after he had got married); (b) Oxford membership cards, including Craobh Ollscoile Oxford of Connradh na Gaedhilge, and the Lincoln College Fleming Society; (c) listing of items found on the bodies of 1916 casualties: JC Larkin, J Larkin, J Kelly, it is not clear how he got this, but he has pencilled a note 'found on casualties of Easter' on the paper, which is signed by one J Reynolds; (d) part of a letter seeking to find jobs for RIC men who had resigned; dated Septrember 1920, the lower part is chopped off.

72. Three sets of letters illustrating the scattering of TCD graduates globally; they were JJ's comtemporaries, with whom he kept in touch. There was one Sandy in Hereford, Frank Apperley in Virginia USA, and one Austin, who is seems was my sister's godfather, from the front in the first world war; he was killed. Also Jack Poynton who ended up in the University of South Carolina in 1925. Bessy(?) Apperley, Frank's wife, was my sister's godmother. The Poyntons were friends via my mother's mother 'Granny Wilson'; they were her neighbours in Ballymahon Co Longford; there was a brother Noel and a sister Kathleen.

73. Folder containing papers relating to the present writer RJ, including early school reports from 1935, letters from school to home during the 1940s, correspondence from France in the 1950s; there is also a copy of a critical letter I wrote to the Irish Times in 1966 relating to science and technology policy, in my then capacity as Secretary of the CSTI (Council for Science and Technology in Ireland). He had additionally included in this folder Adare's 1841 document proposing to the Primate a plan for an 'Irish Collegiate School', the foundation document of St Columba's College, the philosophy of which JJ clearly approved; it enshrined the ideas of the Gaelicising and aspirant Protestant nation-building landed gentry, of whom Claude Chevasse was a vestigial representative. My sister remembers Claude Chevasse as a visitor during her childhood.

74. Miscellaneous letters and cuttings, mostly non-political, curiosities, including some cuttings from Indian newspapers. Some could be letters from ex-students at the front in 1914-18. I have also filed here some stuff which turned up later: JJ's birth certificate, and his marriage certificate to my mother Timahoe Church, Queens County, July 21 1914. Also a vaccination certificate for my grandmother (Mary Geddes), Sept 17 1877, and a military pass for my other grnadmonther, Mrs CJ Wilson, to go to Broadstone in May 1916.

75. Scrap-book kept by my mother, mostly in the 1960s; this has some of JJ's and my letters to the paper, including one from me about the TCD-UCD merger, as from the Wolfe Tone Society. She added miscellaneous earlier material. This is loose in Box JJ4.2, being too big for the archive pocket.

JJarchive 8, Box JJ4.2

77. Letters of condolence etc re the death in 1929 of William's daughter Shiela, in Glengara Park School, where she was boarding with my sister Maureen, her parents William and Ruby being in India. RJ retained.

78. Letter re Eddie: Priorland 1931, from Bob Nesbitt 1931, and in mental hospital (1934), and letter from Tim (1967) re mother's 80th birthday. Letters from CJJ to JJ over period 1909 to 1914; photos of my mother when teaching at a national school at Ballivor, or perhaps Timahoe. RJ retained.

79. Letters from Annie in Budapest, where she was attending a World Student Christian Federation convention.

80. Letter from Sam when in Newcastle Sanitorium, dated 2 May 1919. Letters from Alec, including one in 1939 from military service, and one in 1969 detailing transitional retirement lodging arrangements for JJ. Notebook belonging to Sam's widow Elizabeth, with letters showing how she took up nursing, and some family photos. RJ retained.

82. Material relating to JJ's brother John, including Dungannon Royal School records, and letters to JJ, relating to the 'family fund' and Geddes. The 'family fund' existed, with contributions according to ability, to help take care of Sam's children, Tommy, Alec and Geddes, after Sam died.

83. Diaries of my grandmother, Jenny Wilson, 1939-48, (inserted April 2003). RJ retained.

85. Contains Alamein Memorial records, including photo of Geddes's name on the memorial stone; also correspondence from his O/C relating to the episode on January 22-23 1943 in which Geddes lost his life. RJ retained.

86. Letters from the Traill ranch, and other Argentine sources, relating to Geddes. RJ retained.

87. Voluminous correspondence from various members of the family relating to Geddes, who clearly was in process of becoming the 'black sheep' of the family. There is the makings of a thesis, book, play or saga in some appropriate medium, which however I must leave on one side. RJ retained.

My sister was very familiar with this period; from 1923 up to 1929 when she was 7 to 13 the 3 lads became part of the family; she was very fond of Geddes.

88. Geddes's letters and earlier works, including his poems in praise of Stillorgan and Tyrone. There is also a letter from JJ to him, echoing the 'prodigal son' epic in the Bible. RJ retained.

89. Correspondence re the purchase of the Glen near Drogheda, in May 1940, from Col Jury (of Jury's Hotel). There are indications from this correspondence that JJ mobilised extended family funding for the purpose, and conceived the project in terms of a strategic investment in the interest of the extended family, in the then wartime context. RJ retained.

90. Documents relating to the purchase in 1953 and sale in 1959 of Grattan Lodge, Vicarstown, Co Laois. This property was built in 1882 by the Grattan-Bellew family and they were there until 1947. RJ retained.

91. Account-books relating to farming and market-gardening operations at the Glen, 1940-41.

92. Account-books and inventories convering period 1920s to 1960s sporadically.

95. Letters re JJ's and my mother's deaths and funerals, and JJ's memorial service in the TCD Chapel. There is also correspondence relating to the ownership of the plot in Mount Jerome. File of correspondence re sale of JJ's books to various libraries etc. RJ retained.

I have set up a box X which contains supportive material for JJ's lectures and publications: I have not been able to sort it in detail; also legal documents to do with the sale of various houses JJ lived in, from McCracken's solicitors office.

(g) Miscellaneous other institutional sources

2. Folder containing notes and extracts from the SSISI and Barrington archives.

3. Photocopies of the 1917 Manchester Guardian articles which can credibly be attributed to JJ, and which I have abstracted in the political module.

The foregoing material is also in folders in Box 2LH.

4. correspondence between RJ and the Dungannon Heritage Center, which came up with John Johnston's marriage certificate, and the Castlecaulfield parish records courtesy of Adrian McLernon. Also Dungannon Royal School correspondence, and the Donaghmore schools record. I have filed this in folder 63, as under 'family' above.

5. Folder containing correspondence between RJ and Oxford sources relating to JJ (Bodleian Library etc) see 62.1 above.

6. Folder containing correspondence with Maurice Laheen in Tuam re RM Burke and his co-operative farm; also the JJ encounter in 1947 on the Barrington circuit; see 62.2 above.

The foregoing are mostly in a box inscribed 'JJ Archive ref to Century bib' which I intend to keep. I have added to this box the family-related material which was in the box labelled 'JJ Final Selection Nenagh 1972'.

(h) Books relating to the background of JJ's work:

1. Home Rule: Imperial and National and Real Representation for Great Britain and Ireland, AE Dobbs, Ponsonby Dublin 1908 and 1910; these arguments for Home Rule and for Proportional Representation came in via the Carmody collection, and are representative of the contemporary thinking of the Ulster Liberal Home Rule community. Box JJ5.

1.1 Long Shadows Cast Before, CEB Brett, Bartholemew, Edinburgh, 1978. I got this in June 2003 from the RDS library. Brett chaired the Northern Ireland Labour Party, working towards cross-community socialist politics, but ultimately without success, due to its split and collapse after the infamous 'Sunday Swings' affair of 1964 (cf p86). He wrote this book as a family history, from 1625 to date. His grandfather Sir Charles Brett was a Home Rule supporter bitterly opposed to Partition (cf pp122-124). There is work to be done on quantifying the extent of the Liberal Home Rule support among Ulster Protestants.

31. Standish O'Grady's association with Jim Larkin and The Irish Worker has been researched by Edward A Hagan (U Conn) who edited O'Grady's To the Leaders of Our Working People, UCD Press, 2002. I had occasion to review this for the December 2002 Irish Democrat. Thus O'Grady in the 1912-14 period, as a JJ influence, should be seen as co-operative, democratic, left-wing, rather than feudal-romantic.

32. George Russell (AE) and the New Ireland, 1905-30, Nicholas Allen, (Four Courts Press, 2003). This scholarly work covers much of the background to JJ's most activist period, without any explicit contact with JJ's tracks. I have added some notes on this, identifying possible contact-points.
