It is a key source for the history of the town, especially for the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when other documentary materials are scarce. Robert Magill (R M) Young was an architect and an antiquarian who edited the manuscript and published it in 1892 as \"The Town Book of the Corporation of Belfast 1613-1816\" through Marcus Ward and Co. Ltd., with the addition of his own explanatory. Young was born at Athlone in 1851, two years before the founding of the Ulster Journal of Archaeology, and educated at Queen's College, Belfast. He trained as an architect under his father (also Robert) and later joined the family firm in Belfast. Young was an active antiquarian during the first golden age of historians of Belfast, who included George Benn and William Pinkerton, and was a member of the Royal Irish Academy, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland and Honorary Secretary of the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society.In 1895 he became co-editor of the second series of the Ulster Journal of Archaeology. Amongst his other publications was the 1896 Historical Notices of Old Belfast and its Vicinity, based on the materials collected by William Pinkerton for a proposed history of Belfast. In 1878 he married Eleanor (also known as Nellie or Lally) Reid. They had four children and lived in Rathvarna, off the Antrim Road. Robert Magill Young died at the age of 74 in 1925, a year after his wife. The Anglo-Normans established a settlement at Belfast in the late 12th or early 13th century. In the late medieval period there may also have been a small Gaelic presence, controlled by the Clandeboye O'Neills. Little is currently known about the nature, workings and precise location of these earlier settlements. It is only with the re-founding of the Town in the early 17th century that cartographic, documentary and archaeological evidence can be cross-referenced with any detail. On the cessation of the Nine Year's War in 1603, the area around Belfast was one of a number of land grants made to Sir Arthur Chichester.Although Belfast was incorporated in 1613 with a sovereign (mayor), twelve burgesses and the commonalty (freemen) of the Town, in the early decades these had little real power. Belfast is unique amongst the major towns in Ireland in that its development was controlled by one family, the Chichesters (created earls post-1647 and later marquises), until the mid 19th century. It is uncertain where the Corporation met in its early days. There is a reference in the \"Town Book to the Towne Halle in 1639\", possibly located in Corn Market. In the later 17th century it appears that the Corporation met above the new Customs House, which was built in 1664. This building is illustrated on Thomas Phillips 1685 map of Belfast, and was sited close to the entrance to Belfast Castle.  The \"Town Book\" is a very important strand of primary information that helps chart the development of Belfast, describing the working of the Corporation with limited political power but still having an impact on peoples' everyday lives and business. It is in these aspects where there is detail and real interest.From the information contained within the \"Town Book\" we can get a picture the activities of Belfast's 17th and 18th century inhabitants of Belfast and what life was like. The usefulness of the Town Book for archaeologists and historians is that it often discusses things that we have no other direct evidence for currently such as the early construction of houses and references to malting kilns. In 1638 it is directed that wooden chimneys were to be demolished to be replaced by ones constructed of brick, presumably to limit the dangers of fire. In the same year imports of salt, soap and aqua vitae (whiskey) are mentioned giving an idea of the essential commodities available to the town's people. There are, however, other references in the Town Book to aspects of the 17th century town that it has been possible to investigate archaeologically. The only town defences ever constructed around Belfast were a bank and ditch erected in the 1640s. In 1645 there is reference in the Town Book to moweing the grass about the Rampier (ditch).However, the defences appear to have been used primarily by the townspeople as a convenient place in which to dump rubbish because in 1671 there is a reference to the necessity of repairing a stretch of the defences at the cost and charges of the Inhabitants of the said North Streete...The repairs seem to have been unfinished for by the time of Phillips' map, 14 years later, the exact circuit of the town ditch is incompletely marked out. In recent times stretches of the ditch have been uncovered during excavations at Donegall Street, Gordon Street and Queen Street. These are only a small sample of the many and varied and aspects of town life that are contained within the pages of the \"Town Book\". The information is both informative and entertaining. The work of Robert Magill Young in compiling the \"Town Book\" and his other contributions to Belfast history, deserve to be celebrated.The number of publications relating to the archaeology and early history of Belfast is growing, but the initiative of Belfast City council and Colourpoint Books in reprinting such an important and seminal source as \"The Town Book of the Corporation of Belfast 1613-1816\" is a boost to anyone interested in the story of Belfast.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49608750792977,"sku":"GOR007595756","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1906578257.jpg?v=1750726044"},{"product_id":"excursions-in-calculus-book-robert-m-young-9780883853177","title":"Excursions in Calculus","description":"The purpose of this book is to explore the rich and elegant interplay that exists between the two main currents of mathematics, the continuous and the discrete. Such fundamental notions in discrete mathematics as induction, recursion, combinatorics, number theory, discrete probability, and the algorithmic point of view as a unifying principle are continually explored as they interact with traditional calculus. The book is addressed primarily to well-trained calculus students and those who teach them, but it can also serve as a supplement in a traditional calculus course for anyone who wants to see more. The problems, taken for the most part from probability, analysis, and number theory, are an integral part of the text. There are over 400 problems presented in this book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50032061612305,"sku":"CIN0883853175G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372406018321,"sku":"CIN0883853175A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0883853175.jpg?v=1751396910"},{"product_id":"forgotten-army-book-robert-m-young-9781941755181","title":"The Forgotten Army","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistory has produced many famous armies. It has also produced several that few knew even existed. The American Eighth Army of World War II is one such force. They existed for only about 8 months yet saw action throughout the Southwest Pacific, specifically in the Philippines. Under the command of General Robert Eichelberger they conducted operations in the Southern Philippines, on the islands of Panay, Negros, Cebu, and Mindanao, as well as conducting mopping up operations on Leyte and Luzon. It was a small army, never having more than 5 divisions, and other than Mindanao those divisions never fought together. It was also an army that never experienced defeat. They experienced frustration, a tenacious enemy, and at times shortages of troops. Yet victory was at every turn. The war was coming to an end and the Eighth Army played its part by liberating the rest of the Philippines from Japanese control. The atomic bombs made an invasion of Japan unnecessary but the Eighth Army stood ready to take part in what would have been one of history's largest operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Robert Young received a B.A. from St. John's University, an M.A. from Brooklyn College, and a Ph.D in military History from the C.U.N.Y.
