Notes
Warburton’s Dublin contains the copy of the Charter of Dublin issued
to the men of Bristol by Henry II, which Joyce parodies (from this or
another source such as Hely Thom), in Finnegans Wake, p.545: ‘Wherfore
I will & firmly command that they do inhabit it, & hold it for
me & of my heirs, well & in peace, freely and quiety, fully &
amply & honourably, with the the liberties & free customs which
the men of Bristol have at Britstol, & through my whole land.’
See also reference to same in Denis Johnson, ‘Non-Information in
Finnegans Wake’, in Robin Skelton and David R. Clark, eds.,
Irish Renaissance, A Gathering of Essays, Memoirs, and Letters from
the Massachusetts Review (Dolmen Press 1965), p.122.
