Juverna

Last updated

Juverna or Iuverna is a Latin name for Ireland, a less common variant of Hibernia; both derive from the earlier Iverna. [1] Juverna occurs in the works of Juvenal and Pomponius Mela, although James Watson in 1883 argued these refer to Scotland rather than Ireland. [2]

The name has been used as a poetic synonym for Ireland by Irish nationalists. In 1805 the Irish High Court judge Robert Johnson published letters in William Cobbett's Political Register under the pen-name "Juverna", which criticised the Dublin Castle administration and sympathised with Robert Emmet; [3] Johnson and Cobbett were convicted of seditious libel, and Johnson was forced to resign from the Bench in disgrace. [4] In Benjamin Ward Richardson's 1888 novel The Son of a Star: A Romance of the Second Century, includes the character "gentle Erine, the Maiden of Love" from "Juverna, the island of eternal youth" to the west of Roman Britain. [5] Juverna was a monthly magazine produced by the Christian Brothers in 1902–1903, and its fundraising Juverna Bazaar of May 1903 had a Gaelic revival theme. [6] [7] Juverna gaelic football club won the 1911 Cork Junior Championship. Juverna Press, established by Andrew O'Shaughnessy in 1927, published mainly religious works, [8] including Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus for the 1932 Eucharistic Congress. [9]

William Cobbett was an English radical pamphleteer, journalist, politician, and farmer born in Farnham, Surrey. He was one of an agrarian faction seeking to reform Parliament, abolish "rotten boroughs", restrain foreign activity, and raise wages, with the goal of easing poverty among farm labourers and small land holders. Cobbett backed lower taxes, saving, reversing commons enclosures and returning to the gold standard. He opposed borough-mongers, sinecurists, bureaucratic "tax-eaters" and stockbrokers. His radicalism furthered the Reform Act 1832 and gained him one of two newly created seats in Parliament for the borough of Oldham. His polemics range from political reform to religion, including Catholic emancipation. His best known book is Rural Rides. He argued against Malthusianism, saying economic betterment could support global population growth.

The Herald was an iron paddle steamer imported as frames from the United Kingdom and assembled in 1855 by Richard Johnson in Sydney Harbour, New South Wales, Australia, where she was registered. The Herald is one of the earliest iron paddle wheel steamers built in Australia, where she operated within Sydney Harbour. She was initially used on the fledgling North Shore route between Dawes Point and Blues Point by the newly formed North Shore Steam Company; however, due to not enough traffic to make her financially viable, she often performed tug duties. Eventually the North Shore Steam Company was wound up; the vessel was put up for sale but continued picking up business wherever it was available, operating as a tug, ferry, excursion boat and cargo vessel.
