	Richard Kirwan - LoveToKnow 1911
		RICHARD KIRWAN (1733-1812), Irish scientist, was born at Cloughballymore, Co. Galway, in 1733.
		Part of his early life was spent abroad, and in 1754 he entered the Jesuit novitiate either at St Omer or at Hesdin, but returned to Ireland in the following year, when he succeeded to the family estates through the death of his brother in a duel.
		He was one of the last supporters in England of the phlogistic hypothesis, for which he contended in his Essay on Phlogiston and the Constitution of Acids (1787), identifying phlogiston with hydrogen.

	Robert Boyle, Richard Kirwan and George Stokes
		Richard Kirwan, a founding member of the Royal Irish Society, was born in Cloughballymore, Co. Galway, the second son of Martin Kirwan and Mary French.
		Apart from his widely acknowledged chemical skills, Richard made also important contributions to mineralogy, meteorology and climatology; he published a two-volume work on logic; and a volume of essays on metaphysics.
		For Richard, geology was the handmaiden of true religion, and he repeatedly expressed alarm at systems of geology that struck him as favorable to atheism.

		Lewis had also purchased a copy of the second edition (1784) of Richard Kirwan's Elements of Mineralogy, which probably was of only marginal use on this point.
		Although Kirwan had been largely responsible for establishing the new science of mineralogy on a solid basis, Elements was primarily a laboratory manual, and Lewis and Clark lacked the chemicals and instruments to test their specimens.
		Kirwan had freed "the gross indications of the unassisted senses" from their attendant fallacies by rendering "more refined chemical tests" more conclusive.

	Kirwan Family History
		They tell us, that Maoldabhreac, son of Fiobhrann, son of Finghin, descended from Heremon, second son of Milesius, was father of Ciorrovan or Kirrovan, from whom the KIRWANS are descended.
		Some think them much more ancient, supposing them to be the family of KIRWICKE, already enumerated amongst the more early inhabitants of the town; and this supposition is very probable, as the orthography of the name has undergone various changes, viz.
		Anyone having additional information or links to the early Kirwan family in Ireland or the American colonies (1600's to late 1700's), please contact me, John McGowan.

	To My Daughter in France... by Barbara and Stephanie Keating
		She loves the man who has always been 'Papa' and the Languedoc vineyard in which she had the happiest of childhoods; Celine, her adored mother, is dead.
		But the truth of Richard Kirwan's liaison with her mother cannot remain buried, and the Kirwan children and their half-sister must overcome their differences and confront the past that unites them.
		What emerges is an extraordinary tale of an impossible but irresistible love affair, of passion and blind heroism, of sacrifices made for love and honour and of four families whose resistance to the German forces occupying France during the Second World War binds them across borders and cultures and through war and peace.
