Notes
J. C. Walker was the intermediary between Charles O’Conor’s and
Dean Bernard when O’Conor sought to hand over her memoir of Ireland before
Christianity. O’Conor writes to Walker (31 Jan. 1786) that he encountered
Barnard’s Enquirey [sic] into the Original of the Scots in Britain
[n.d.] with pleasure, adding somewhat later (16 Feb. 1788) that ‘it
will help greatly to recommend the essays now in my hands on that subject
[...]’. See Ward & Ward, ed., Letters of Charles O’Conor (1988),
pp.460, 492.
