Willis's Current Notes, No. 13, January 1852

Caussin's Holy Court.

Reading edition

Landscape Terrace, Cork, Dec. 29. 1851.

Dear Sir,—For the information of your two correspondents, "A Subscriber," and "R. O. W." ("Current Notes" for December, p. 95), I beg to repeat my assertion that there was an edition of "The Holy Court," by N. Caussin, published in Corke. In fact, (if I mistake not), there were two editions, one in 1765, without plates; and one in 1767, with very excellent plates. I can procure an imperfect copy of the former for either of your correspondents for one shilling; and a fine copy of the latter for thirty to thirty-five shillings, full calf, with plates.

The work was printed in Broad-lane—(perhaps so called quasi "lucus a non lucendo," as the lane is certainly rather narrow)—and was very well got up. The date and place of printing are thus given in the first edition: Corke: "Printed anno Domini 1765."

I am, Sir, yours very truly, Wm. C. Neligan.

Mr. Willis.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
