Synopsis "The Hist & Edmund Burke's Club: And Edmund Burke's Club"

The College Historical Society has been a microcosm of the politics of Ireland since the first discussions in Edmund Burke's Club in 1747. As a student debating society it has always debated the burning issues of the day, sometimes being expelled from the College in consequence. This anthology brings together writings on the Hist over a period of 250 years, which convey the essence of the Society - debate on great and small issues within a highly formal, even legalistic, set of procedures, and yet with a leavening of humour. The opinions expressed by the key figures in Irish Society in their time are reflected, both in youth and in maturity. The Bicentenary in 1970 saw one of the great occasions of the Society. Statesmen and politicians debated Burke's philosophy, freedom and order, and Northern Ireland. Their speeches are still relevant. Past members have contributed their memories of their own time in the Hist. And the records of the Society have been mined for material which illustrates its development. These include part of the minutes of Burke's Club, the topics for debate over the years, and some Sub-committee reports, which tackle even very small issues with the full rigour of a Judicial Tribunal Report.
