Richard Kirwan was a man of science of a type unusual nowadays. Beginning the world as a Jesuit novice at, St. Omer, 

 he married a young lady of Galway, and on their wedding morrow was thrown into jail frr her debts. On her death 

 eight years after he went in for science in London, and set up a scientific salon in Newman St., and corresponded with all 

 1he savants of Europe, including the Empress Catherine, who sent him her portrait. Going back to Dublin he shone with 

 equal brilliancy at 6, Cavendish Row. ' An accomplished linguist, a brilliant talker, and an adept in Italian music, he 

 wore a slouched hat at Vice-Regal levees to keep off the cold, and lived on ham and milk, kept a pet eagle, and six large 

 doers, and refused a baronetcy from Lord Castlereagh ' (Miss Agnes M. Clerke).
