Irish Literature Ancient Ireland Books were first brought to Ireland by teachers of Christianity, and after accepting the new religion, the Irish learned to make their own Christian books. Books in those days were not written on paper, but on strong velvety vellum, made from the skins of young animals, most often calves. The skin had to be scraped and bleached and stretched to be made into vellum. Then it was written on, folded,and bound between covers to make a manuscript. Irish Myths and Folklore Irish Poetry Limericks The limerick probably got its name from an Irish refrain that contained the name of County Limerick, which is in southwest Ireland. The limerick is a five-line nonsense poem, with the rhyme scheme a-a-b-b-a-the first, second, and fifth lines (a) have three stresses; the third and fourth lines (b) each have two.

In March of 1888 she refers to "my tenth consecutive winter in this city (New York). Touring Stage Companies By January 1882 the number of first-class American stock companies had diminished to three (of which the Union Square was one) giving employment to about 100 actors and actresses. "The remainder of the fraternity," wrote the New York Times, "must wander over the land for a livelihood, just as the strollers of old were wont to do" (January 1, 1882). There were upward of 3,500 theatres, opera houses, and places of amusement in the United States in 1887, giving employment to about 40,000 persons." Blum's Pictorial History of the American Theatre notes that "the 1880's brought to an end what historians call the 'golden era' of the American theatre and began the [single play, as opposed to a company with a varying repertory] 'combination system' that was in the next decade to kill the brilliant stock companies, bringing theatres and "the road" under the control of powerful managers and theatrical combines who found it more profitable to send complete productions on tour from city to city rather than to maintain local stock companies and mount new productions in each place. Plays were often produced more with a view to road tour profits than for their artistic merit."

Hattie told him that we could not tell before April whether we should or not remain. I do not think a cheaper Flat can be found in the City although a smaller one would now do me and Hattie - but where to find one in a respectable locality is the difficulty. I have not had a talk with Mr. AMP[almer] about next season and cannot tell whether I shall be able to pay for this Flat or any other. Of course we had carriages but they only conveyed us to the different theatres. The storm injured the Matinees - $1400 and some odd, being the amt taken at the 3 Theatres. How are your funds holding out? I have not much, but if you want your board money let me know. Do not run behind with that for your landlady may need it.

It is an extension of the Bowery, running only from Astor Place in the East Village to Union Square, only a few blocks. 475 may well have housed a number of actors, as we have a calling card of Mrs. LeMoyne with the same address.

Administrative Information Processing Information : 2. Letters from 1854 to 1882, chronologically arranged in a series of dust-proof file boxes. These, at least in part, perpetuated another of Longfellow's arrangements, for among the papers were found several labels in his and other hands cut from the wrappings of bundles made up by years. The series of labels is far from complete; the survivors are preserved as bMS Am 1340.2 (6231). Among the hands identified are those of Samuel Longfellow and Alice Mary Longfellow, who noted on them the fact that they had examined the contents. The correspondence for the year 1871 was not preserved, or more probably it was at some time inadvertently lost; the file-box for that year was empty when received and bore an appropriate notation. There is no record of the stage at which this loss occurred. Nevertheless a few letters from the year 1871 have survived, scattered through the collection.
