Acknowledgements
The
information about transportation in the nineteenth-century
Irish midlands was obtained from the above-mentioned
bibliography as well as from private correspondence
with local historians. Among them, Ruth Illingworth
oriented my research with appropriate information and
references. Ruth is a local historian based in Mullingar,
Co. Westmeath, Chair of the Mullingar Historical and
Archaeological Society, and author of Mullingar,
History and Timeline, and When the Train Came
to Mullingar (Mullingar: Westmeath Examiner, 1998).
Librarians Greta Connell and Michael Dempsey, from Mullingar’s
Westmeath County Library and Wexford Town Library respectively,
were very helpful to find both bibliography and newspapers
with relevant references. Special thanks to David Barnwell,
Bernard Canavan, Mike Geraghty, Pat McKenna, and Derek
Ellwood for their valued comments on the text.
I am also grateful to the Rev. Jeremy Howat, author
of South American Packets 1808-1880 (York: The
Postal History Society, 1984), for his learned guidance
through the world of the early South American seaway.
Additionally, Jeremy generously read the article and
provided helpful comments. |
