	Mr. Lovett Out of Ireland
		Lovett Out of Iorland," as described in the article that follows, was Col. John LOVETT, son of Christopher and Frances O'MORE Lovett, and grandson of Sir Robert and Anne SAUNDERS Lovett, of Liscombe, Soulbury, Bucks.
		In 1680 Christopher Lovett's widow is found petitioning the Corporation to return certain money due to the Lord Mayor for expenses incurred during his Mayoralty, and in 1692, asking that she should be relieved of responsibility for fulfilling the terms of the silk tapestry weaving lease.
		Colonel John Lovett had three pictures of it painted one of which is still at Claydon House, another is in the possession of a member of the Lovett family, and the third was given to Trinity House, London, where it perished in a fire in 1794.

	Castletown House, County Kildare
		Pearce had been in close touch with Galilei in Italy (whom he already knew through Vanbrugh, his cousin) and possibly helped him transmit designs back to Conolly in Ireland.
		The pavilions, designed by Pearce, are composed of a coarser and less dazzling golden-brown limestone; together with the curved colonnades they have the effect of focussing the eye upon the centre block.
		Pearce's device of a columnar screen at one end of the hall was later adopted by many Irish houses, such as Castle Ward in County Down.

	Architecture
		Its design has been locally attributed to Sir Edward Lovett Pearce, however, it would be wise to heed Maurice Carig's advice 'to remain on guard against the temptation to attribute every Pearcean-looking building out of 1730 to the master himself'.
		the building is less robustly classical than Pearce's other known designs, for example Bellamont, Castletown, or Cashel Palace, - and the distinguishing feature of these houses- a distinctively Calssical treatment of the rooline - is almost entirely absent from the Cork building, where there is no attempt to hide the steep slated roof.
		The Red House, porbably so-called because brick buildings were comparatively rare in Munster up to the eighteenth century, was built by the Uniacke family in 1710.

	Early Work - Richard Cassels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Architecturally at the time Dublin was an exiting place to be — Edward Lovett Pearce, also newly established in the city, was working on Castletown House, the great mansion of Speaker William Connoly, and the new Irish Houses of Parliament simultaneously.
		A comparison of the Printing House and Leinster House shows the evolution from the true Palladian style to the, commonly referred, Georgian architecture style in Ireland during the quarter century that Dublin was to be almost rebuilt.
		The untimely death of Edward Lovett Pearce, aged 34, in 1733, made Cassels Irelands leading architect working in the sought after Palladian style.

	Andrew Cusack: The Old Irish Parliament House
		Pearce's creation was fronted by an E-shaped Ionic collonade and portico facing what by then became known as College Green.
		What is somewhat odd, perhaps even off-kilter, about Pearce's plan is the prominence it gives to the House of Commons, presumably at the expense of the House of Lords.
		This may have reflected the fact that Pearce was himself a member of the Commons, but it is also probable that William Connolly, the powerful Speaker of the House as well as Pearce's political mentor, played a part in this seemingly inappropriate architectural distinction.

	Review Article - Studies - Spring 2002
		Foremost among those building on Craig’s work is Edward McParland, whose early articles on Irish neo-Classicism, culminating in his magisterial study of James Gandon in 1985, constitute some of the most satisfactory accounts of the subject and paved the way for his latest work on public architecture in Ireland.
		Instead we have William Robinson, Thomas Burgh, Richard Castle and Sir Edward Lovett Pearce with a notable contribution by the Florentine, Alessandro Galilei.
		Castle and Pearce, however, had tantalising connections with Vanbrugh - Castle worked in his drawing office, Pearce was his cousin and inherited some of his drawings - and McParland skilfully identifies his influence.

		In a less capable pair of hands (and the less than inspiring title of this volume barely helps tempt the wavering reader in), such an unpromising mise-en-scene could so easily have led to a dismal trudge through what many might consider to be 80 years in the provincial backwaters of architectural history.
		The Parliament House (Edward Lovett Pearce) has been converted into the head office of the Bank of Ireland.
		He was also, according to a vindictive contemporary, `an energetic adulterer', the lover of `sexual contortionist' Lady Allen, and the `chief agent of that frenzied hermaphrodite Lady Newburgh - she who invented strategic placement of bedroom mirrors so as best to view her own sexual pleasure'.
