Obituaries
Peter Barry: One of the foremost eye surgeons of his generation
Obituary: He used surgical skill, persuasiveness and humility to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes

Peter Barry FRCS, who has died unexpectedly after a brief illness aged 67 years, was one of the foremost eye surgeons of his generation. As well as being an international ambassador for Irish ophthalmology, he was the national clinical lead for ophthalmology, leading wide-reaching reforms in hospital and community delivery of eye healthcare.

He pioneered major surgical advances in Irish and European ophthalmology: modern cataract surgery and primary vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair in the early 1980s.

Having wide-ranging international impact, he was a cofounder and recently president of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). In addition to superb surgical outcomes in his own patients, thousands more had safer cataract surgery when he chaired the first international clinical trial proving the benefit of prophylactic antibiotics. This landmark study has now been accepted worldwide as setting the clinical standard of care in dramatically reducing post-operative infection, the most devastating blinding complication of cataract surgery.

Peter James Barry was born in Dublin and educated at Gonzaga College. Being academic, gregarious and quietly religious, he briefly started Jesuit studies but quickly switched to UCD medical school. Clinical training in ophthalmology began at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital, Dublin, with completion of the majority of his clinical residency at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London.

Absolute focus
Fellowship training followed in London and the US in vitreoretinal surgery, then in its infancy, but Moorfields quickly established itself as an international leader under Peter’s mentors, David McLeod, Peter Leaver and Robert Cooling. Appointed consultant ophthalmic surgeon in 1984 to his alma mater, the Eye and Ear Hospital, Dublin, he initiated vitreoretinal surgery and maintained a continuous separate retinal detachment rota.

He had a joint appointment with St Vincent’s University Hospital, where he quickly established a dedicated registrar cataract training module.

As ESCRS president, he established three themes: youth, education and research which reflected his lifetime clinical focus. He took an immense interest in fostering the careers of many future ophthalmologists. Combining the attributes of high clinical and surgical acumen, work ethic and attention to detail, his clinics and operating lists were both intense and occasionally dramatic. Mentoring by example, he expected the same absolute focus. Patient empathy was his main driving force and he used his surgical skill, persuasiveness and humility to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes.

Charismatic and debonair
Peter Barry’s Sunday routine began with a ward round at the Eye and Ear Hospital accompanied by his daughter Lisa, followed by ice cream and reading at Mass at St Vincent’s.

Charismatic and debonair, he was great company in social situations and an eloquent protagonist in formal meetings. He was just as happy delivering the Ridley Medal Lecture as sharing clinical woes with a colleague.

He was a devoted family man and he is survived by his wife Carmel and four adult children, David, Stephen, Simon and Lisa.

PETER BARRY 1948-2016

David Spalton
Published: Tuesday, July 5, 2016

Peter’s sudden and tragic death was a shock for all of us. He was a particularly good friend to me and to many of you who are reading this.
Peter co-organised the European Intraocular Implant Club meeting in Dublin, Ireland in 1990. It was at this meeting that the decision was taken to change the name of the society to the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and from that time Peter served as a board member, treasurer, then as president, and finally
as a director.

Throughout all these years he was a steady guiding hand, the work of the society never far from his heart, and the formative role he had in the success of the ESCRS cannot be overstated. In my opinion this success was due to two strong personality attributes – the first being a superb ability to chair a committee meeting, and the second being a dogged determination to see something through to the end once he had started on it, strongly aided by some Irish charm and a puckish sense of humour.

Time and time again I would watch in admiration as, during a committee meeting, after a sometimes lengthy and rather stringent discussion, he would summarise the problem and come up with the common-sense solution that we had all missed, which we could all agree on, and then we would move on to the next item on the agenda.

Through his friendship with Ulf Stenevi and Mats Lundström, he led the way in developing the society’s studies in the prevention of postoperative endophthalmitis and benchmarking surgical outcomes with the
EUREQUO database.

His greatest memorial will be the endophthalmitis study which eventually turned out to be the biggest antibiotic study ever undertaken. He conceived the project, raised the finance and put together a dedicated and expert team, and then saw the project through the trials and tribulations of regulation, bureaucracy and recruitment until its
eventual success.

As we all know now, the intracameral injection of cefuroxime at the end of surgery reduces the incidence of infection five-fold. The study has become the standard of care in many countries and we, as surgeons, and more importantly our patients have good reason to be grateful to him. Few of us will ever leave such a legacy.

Peter was educated at Gonzaga College in Dublin. At one time he contemplated a career in the Church and few of us knew he retained a strong Christian faith throughout his life. However, he went into medicine instead, graduating from University College Dublin in 1974, where he won the Medical Society Gold Medal and also the Gibson Cup, the Irish Medical Schools Debating Cup (perhaps an early sign of later achievements).

He was a resident at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London from 1976 to 1979, followed by a retina fellowship at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. After this he returned to a consultant appointment at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital and St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin.

His funeral took place on the most perfect Irish summer day at the church opposite St Vincent’s Hospital, with a congregation packed to standing room only with his family, his friends and colleagues, golfing chums, and I suspect a large number of grateful patients too. Lisa, his 20-year-old daughter, with great courage and fortitude, gave a eulogy none of those present will ever forget. It was an incredibly sad end to a life so well lived and we all extend our sympathy to his wife Carmel, and his children David, Stephen, Simon and Lisa.

Professor Peter Barry passed away

It is with very great sadness that the EVI announces the death of our colleague Dr Peter Barry, who passed away on Thursday, 26 May 2016 after a short illness.

He was a person of great vision who made an immense contribution not only to the success of the ESCRS but to the wider world of ophthalmology, as indicated by our featured article under http://www.vision-research.eu/index.php?id=888 in remembrance of Peter

Peter Barry was head of the Department of Ophthalmology in St Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin and was the senior retinal surgeon at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital, Dublin. Having completed his training at Moorfield's Eye Hospital in London, one of the largest eye hospitals in the world, Peter completed a retinal fellowship in the USA.

Peter has served on the Board of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons for over twenty years first - as Treasurer and as President of this prestigious Society. He was a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, the Irish College of Ophthalmology, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, and the United Kingdom and Ireland Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons.

Peter will be sorely missed.

Fr Douglas H Bluett SMA dies in London

The SMA British Province has lost its senior missionary with the death of Fr Douglas (Dougie) Bluett in a London hospital on Monday, 27 March 2010.

In recent years he had suffered from cancer though never allowed it to dim his missionary calling. He continually requested a return to front line service in Africa though his illness meant that his wish could not be granted.

Fr Bluett, born in Dublin in 1934 was raised in the Church of Ireland before converting to Catholicism and becoming a Catholic priest.

He was ordained in Keffi, diocese of Makurdi, by Archbishop Peter Y Jatau of Kaduna, Nigeria in 1972. For 36 years Fr Bluett ministered in several parishes in the diocese of Makurdi, most notably Doma. He was a renowned teacher and for many years taught at St Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary in Makurdi. He had the great joy of seeing part the area where he worked made into a separate diocese, Lafia.

Fr Bluett is mourned by his sister, extended family, friends and his confreres in the British Province as well as in the wider Society.

Fr Rob Morland informs us that, in accordance with his wishes Fr Dougie will be buried alongside other SMA colleagues Manchester.

Richard Callanan: February 9th, 1945 - May 13th, 2015

Richard Callanan, who has died aged 70, was a founder member, with others including Deirdre O'Connell, Tom Hickey, Sabina Higgins (née Coyne) and Mary Elizabeth Burke-Kennedy, of Dublin's famous Focus Theatre, which flourished from 1963 to 2012.

He later made a successful career as a BBC television producer, winning two Bafta awards for children’s programmes in the 1990s.

He also made significant contributions to further education with the Open University (OU) and, after retirement, with the University of the Third Age (U3A).

Callanan had joined the BBC in 1969 to work with the newly established OU. One of his fellow trainee producers at the time was Nuala O’Faolain.

His interest in drama first surfaced at school, at Belvedere and Clongowes, and he was later an active member of Dramsoc at UCD, where he studied English and history from 1965 to 1968.

Among his roles was Antony, opposite Mary Elizabeth Burke-Kennedy's Cleopatra and the title role in John Osborne's Luther.

He was part of the production team for the Focus Theatre's first show, Kelly's Eye by Henry Livings. It was at the Focus too that he began what was to become a lifelong friendship with the actor Sabina Coyne, now Sabina Higgins, wife of President Michael D Higgins.

At UCD, Callanan was also a leading member of the Literary and Historical Society, appearing in the first Irish televised student debate with Patrick Cosgrave, later an adviser to Margaret Thatcher, and John Cooke, who became a High Court judge.

Jesuit training

Callanan had spent two years, after leaving Clongowes, as a seminarian at the Jesuit novitiate at Emo House in Laois, a stage of his life that was terminated, according to his brother Fionnbar, “by mutual consent”.

An Open University colleague, Nick Levinson, remarked at Callanan’s funeral service that his old friend retained the ability to be self-critical, which he speculated might have been a hangover from his Jesuit training, which helped him to “see both sides, and face both ways” when pondering a course of action.

One of Callanan’s special gifts, Levinson said, was casting actors. Among those he recruited were Patrick Stewart, Leo McKern and Ben Kingsley, all of them at a relatively early stage of their careers.

Callanan eventually left the Open University to work for the BBC, especially in children’s television.

In retirement, Callanan returned to further education with the University of the Third Age, where, his colleague Patricia Isaacs said, “he led a group on modern literature, sharing his great love of Irish poets in particular with members”.

Richard Callanan was born in Dublin in 1945, the youngest of five children of Richard Callanan, one of the first recruits to the Army of the Free State, who rose to the rank of major-general, and Margaret McGuinness from Longford, both of whom had been active in the War of Independence, and later, in the Civil War on the pro-Treaty side.

He is survived by his widow, Sally Burr, by his children, Sam, Megan and Joe, his brother Fionnbar and his sister Mona. A sister, Eithne, and a brother, Niall, predeceased him.

My friend Richard Callanan, who has died aged 70 after a fall, made important contributions to two great educational endeavours: making TV programmes for the Open University and co-ordinating groups for the University of the Third Age (U3A).

He was a maker of arts programmes for the Open University between 1969 and 1979; and among those he recruited to appear in OU productions were Patrick Stewart and Ben Kingsley. Richard was largely responsible for the famous appearance of Max Wall as Vladimir opposite Leo McKern as Estragon in Waiting for Godot in 1977. He went on to become well known too as a producer and director of children’s programmes: in 1990 he won a Bafta as producer of the BBC series Maid Marian and Her Merry Men; and in 1993 a second for Archer’s Goon.

Richard was born in Dublin, the youngest of five children of Richard Callanan, an Irish army officer, and his wife, Margaret (nee McGuiness). He was educated at Jesuit schools and spent two years training to be a priest at Emo House, in County Laois, before the arrangement was terminated by mutual consent. From 1964 until 1967 he studied English and history at University College Dublin – during which time he became a founder member of the city’s Focus theatre – before moving to London to study for a diploma in modern social and cultural studies at Chelsea College.

Richard’s Jesuit education provoked some stark recollections of the pedagogic arts from him. It also, though, helped him to “see both sides and face both ways”. He never forgot the importance of drawing out his students and he was a supremely attentive listener. This attracted him to what the U3A, in north London, had to offer.

U3A’s guiding principle - “those who learn shall also teach and those who teach shall also learn” – was natural to him and his work on James Joyce, WB Yeats and Seamus Heaney was revelatory. He also taught a Shakespeare course to students in a residential home for the elderly, Mary Feilding Guild, who were not able to make even the shortest journey to reach normal classes. Prognostications of failure because of the age of the students were triumphantly repudiated.

He is survived by his wife, Sally, and his children, Sam, Meg and Joe.

Andrew Campbell, Bishop of Kilmore, 1753-1769

Student Days in Spain

Micheline Walsh

During searches on the Continent for unpublished documents of Irish interest I found several relating to Andrew Campbell. As little is known of his student days in Spain it has been suggested to me that I translate these documents from the original Castilian and Mallorqu?n for publication in Ireland. They are in the Archivo Histórico de Mallorca, the Archivo Capitular de la Catedral de Palma de Mallorca, the Archivo del Palacio Arzobispal de Sevilla and the Archivo General de Simancas.

Andrew Campbell was born about the year 1711 in the County Louth parish of Dunany and Port, now the parish of Togher. In 1733 he was a student in the English College of Saint Gregory in Seville where he studied humanities and philosophy for three years and theology for one. Already a priest, he entered the Jesuit novitiate in Seville where he was such an instigator of intrigue, as his superior wrote later, that he was dismissed from the Society. The same superior gives an interesting testimonial to Campbell's qualities in stating that in view of his talent and competence he was admitted to the Jesuits.

In the summer of 1737 Campbell made an application to the King of Spain stating that he had completed his studies of philosophy and theology and asking for the usual financial grant to help him to return to the North to preach the gospels. Having apparently failed in this application, the granting of which was usually a matter of form, it is possible that he continued his studies in the famous Complutensian University of Alcalá de Henares, although he does not say so himself, and he claimed that he was awarded a doctorate of theology by the less prestigious University of Sigüenza.

In March 1740 the sisters Maria and Margarita Lawless of Palma de Mallorca appointed Campbell their agent in Madrid and four months later he again applied to the King for financial aid to enable him to return to Ireland. In this he was successful but, for some reason about which we can only speculate, it was not until 19 September 1741, over fourteen months later, that the treasury order for one hundred ducats was signed in favour of Andrew Campbell.

After this date I have found no further evidence of Campbell in Spain and I assume that he returned to Ireland shortly afterwards. On 3 April 1753 he was appointed Bishop of Kilmore; on 30 September 1769 he made his will which has been published by Canon Carrigan, and he died on the first of the following December. From the Vatican Archives Father Cathaldus published a reference to Campbell stating that he finished his studies in Alcalá de Henares and, having received a degree in a different small university, he returned home (studia terminavit Compluti, et accepta laurea in alia parva universitate, rediit in patriam). Philip O Connell found his tomb in the old graveyard of Port in the Bishop's native parish and Father Patrick Campbell of the same parish of Togher has thrown much light on the local background.

My very succinct and incomplete summary of Campbell's student days in Spain is based on the following documents to which I add some explanatory observations for their better understanding :

1. Don Andrés Cambel is listed in the registers of the English College of Saint Gregory in Seville
   as having received tonsure and minor orders on 18 September 1733, the subdiaconate on 18 Sept ember 1734 and the diaconate on 5 March 1735.
   Cambel: this was the simplified spelling of his name by which Campbell was known during his studies in Spain.

2. On 7 August 1737 the following letter was written by the King's secretary to the Scot Jesuit, Father William Clarke, confessor to King Philip V of Spain. From 1726 until his death in 1744 Father Clarke was confessor to the King and his adviser on affairs concerning Scot, Irish and English clerics in Spain and on these matters his opinion was all important. The letter is:

   Reverendísimo Padre,
   By the order of the King J send you the five enclosed memorials from Don Andrés Candel [sic], Don Carlos Lynch, Don Diego Nolan, Don Juan Coleman and Don Patricio Shaw, apostolic missionaries, so that you may forward your views concerning their requests. May God keep you as I wish. Buen Retiro, 7 August 1737.
   El Marqués de Verren

   Apostolic missionaries: during part of the sixteenth and throughout most of the following two centuries, Spanish ecclesiastics usually spoke of the Church in Ireland as the Irish Mission and referred to priests in Ireland as missionaries or apostolic missionaries

   Buen Retiro: this was one of the King's residences in Madrid and its grounds are now a famous public park.

3. Campbell's memorial, enclosed with the preceding letter, is written in the third person following the usual practice in such petitions to the King and it reads as follows:

   Señor,
   Don Andrés Cambel, collegian of the English College of Saint Gregory of the University of Seville and apostolic missionary, places himself at the royal feet of Your Majesty and says that he has finished his courses of philosophy and theology as appears from the attached testimonial which he presents to Your Majesty; he proposes going to the North to preach the gospels and to defend the catholic faith against the heretics, but he is unable to accomplish stich a holy purpose without the viaticum which Your Majesty, with catholic zeal, is accustomed to grant in similar cases; therefore, with all humility, he begs your Majesty to order that he be helped with the said viaticum to enable him to achieve his holy objective. The petitioner will thereby receive great favour from the royal and catholic bounty of Your Majesty.

   Viaticum: from the late sixteenth century Spanish university and ecclesiastical authorities often contributed towards the expenses of young Irish priests returning to Ireland on the completion of their studies, and from the middle of the seventeenth century this aid was undertaken in a gradually more regular way by the King. This royal contribution was called viaticum and the applicant had to present a certificate that he had completed his ecclesiastical studies and to give an undertaking that he was returning to Ireland. As a rule the viaticum varied between fifty and a hundred ducats according to the time or the strength of the lobby. As the value of the ducat of those times in our money of to-day would range at least from four to six pounds the viaticum was a generous contribution the obtaining of which led on occasion to abuses. There are records of some who preferred the more comfortable fife in Spain and no longer had the courage to face the dangers and hardships in Ireland. They managed to get the viaticum and then remained in Spain where sometimes we find them as tutors in wealthy families or chaplains in Irish regiments in the Spanish service. In order to counter such abuses the royal treasury often ordered that the viaticum be paid only at the last moment at a named port of departure for Ireland.

   As it is possible that Campbell studied in Alcal? de Henares following his failure to get the viaticum in 17371 it should be noted that the Irish College of that city was in a privileged position with regard to the viaticum. In Spain there were four colleges, apart from those in Spanish Flanders, for the education of Irish ecclesiastical students for the secular clergy. The Irish College in Madrid is usually numbered as a fifth but in fact it was more of an Irish ecclesiastical hostel than what we would understand as a college. Of these four colleges, that of Alcal? de Henares was the only one not directed by the Jesuits and the students there elected their own rectors usually from the senior students of theology. This led to a frequent change of rectorship which was a much sought-after post if only for the reason that, on setting out for Ireland, all ex-rectors got the viaticum of the time doubled.

4. The testimonial attached to Campbell's memorial is in the form of a printed statement with blank spaces for the name of the person, the date and the number of years spent in the study of theology; these spaces are filled in by hand and the document is signed by the prefect of studies and four professors. Similar testimonials were produced by the other young applicants mentioned in Document 2. As the document is in straightforward Latin a translation is not necessary:

                   IHS
   Praefectus Generaiis Studiorum, & Professores Sacrae Theologiae in hoc Hispalen praecipuo Societatis Jesu Collegio universis has literas visuris notumfacimus, & testam D.

   Josephus de Iturrate Josephus de Tenas Josephus Gomez Joannes de Escazena
   Stud. Pfs. Gens. Sacre Scripture Interpte. Prime. Cathe. Profr. Resp

   Simon Real
   Philosophiae Profess

   Quadriennium: it would appear from the original, and there remains a suggestion of i in the photographic copy reproduced on page 303, that quadriennium was written over erasion of a shorter word. This might explain the apparent contradiction between the statement of the testimonial that Campbell had read four years of theology in the college and the declarat of Father Valderas in his letter to Father Clarke three months later that Campbell had st one year of theology in the college.

5. Before making any recommendation Father Clarke apparently thought it well to wri further information to the rector of the college in Seville; I have been unable to trace his but the following is the answer he received:

   Padre mío y Se?or,

   With reverence I have received your letter. I rejoice in your health and offer mine to you, wishing that you use it in anything that may please you.

   I have no knowledge of the order which you say His Majesty {may God keep him) has given concerning the students who return to their country; my books only show evidence of the alms of fifty ducats as help for the viaticum. When His Majesty was in Seville I made repeated representations to have these alms established on a regular basis but I was not successful. For this reason the students ask for various testimonials in order to present their own petitions and very often, so as not to offend the truth, they cannot be given with the necessary exactness, all the more when they are requested for other legitimate ends connected with the students promotion and advantage.

   Don Patricio Shaw's testimonial may be treated favourably by your reverence for he is in the fourth year of theology which he is unable to finish owing to ill-health and it is necessary to send him to the mission without delay. Don Juan Coleman went to England more than two years ago but did not notify me of his arrival as others do. Cambel's case is worse; he studied philosophy and one year of theology in this college. In view of his talent and competence he was admitted to the Company, being already a priest, but he was tempted in his vocation and was such an instigator of intrigue in the novitiate that our Father General, on being consulted, advised that he be dismissed, which was done. I have strongly opposed his readmission and he is not lacking in supporters. They have made representations to me concerning testimonials, which I have refused to give except in the form which you have seen. They say that the said Cambel is in this city and I have no evidence that he intends to return to the mission. Your reverence will decide according to your judgement in Domino and will let me know what I must do. May God keep your reverence many years. Seville, 24 September 1737.
   Luis Vaideras.

6. In the papers of Mallorquín notary John Ginard, which are preserved in the Historical Archives of Mallorca, there is a power of attorney for Campbell made by Maria and Margarita Lawless and dated 8 March 1740. It is a long document and would make tedious reading were it published verbatim with all its repetitious and legalistic formalism. It suffices for our purpose to state that it gives full and absolute authority to Andrew Campbell to represent the sisters in all matters referring to their property and business in the Court of Madrid.

   Maria and Margarita were two of four sisters of Captain-General Patricio Lawless, governor of the Balearic Islands, one of the most distinguished Irishmen in Spain during the previous thirty years and who had died in 1739. Lawless had left Ireland for France after the Treaty of Limerick and he was subsequently outlawed in absentia and his property confiscated. In 1704 he passed with permission from the French to the Spanish service where his promotion was both extraordinary and rapid. From being a major in O Mahony's Dragoons he became an officer in the King's Guards, was made major-general and entrusted with some well-known and very important missions by Philip V. In 1709, on the recommendation of the King, he was made knight-commander of the order of Alc?ntara and, most unusual double honour, he was also granted a commandery in the order of Santiago.

   Later Lawless was appointed lieutenant-general and we may be excused a twinkle of amusement on hearing that in 1713, on the signing of the treaty of Utrecht at the end of the war of the Spanish succession, this outlawed felon from Ireland appeared in London to present his credentials to Queen Anne with all the diplomatic immunity of Spanish ambassador to the Court of Saint James. Having spent several years in this post he was appointed ambassador to France and finally, in December 1721, he was rewarded for his very distinguished services to the Crown by being made captain-general and governor of the Balearic Islands. After thirty years' absence from Ireland Lawless then invited his sisters to share the residence and prestige of the new governor.

   We know from Bishop Campbell's will that his sister Margaret married a Patrick Lawless to both of whom he bequeathed half the lands as ordered in my father s will. Neither Campbell's will nor the Lawless sisters' power of attorney mentions any relationship; if there be none, how ever, one must wonder how the very aristocratic and influential sisters of Mallorca should know and place such absolute confidence in the very unimportant, and as yet almost unknown, young Irishman from Louth four hundred miles away in Madrid. One might also wonder if the renown and influence of the Lawless family of Mallorca were not a significant factor in changing the attitude to Campbell of the King's adviser between 1737 and July 1740, the latter date being a few months after Campbell had been appointed by the Lawless sisters their full and absolute agent in the Court of Madrid.

7. In July 1740 Father Clarke was again consulted about Campbell in a letter from the King's secretary:

   Reverendísimo Padre,
   By order of the King I send you the enclosed memorial of Don Andr?s Cambel so that you may express your views concerning his request. May God keep you many years as I wish. Buen Retiro, 8 July 1740.
   Berdo Verdes Monteno.

8. This second memorial from Andrew Campbell to the King suggests that he had used the intervening years to good purpose :

   Señor,
   Don Andr?s Cambel, priest of the Irish nation, Doctor of the University of Sigüenza, places himself at the royal feet of Your Majesty and with the greatest humility says that, having finished his studies of philosophy and theology and having acquired the necessary competence for the apostolic mission of his persecuted country, he has resolved to go to the said holy mission to preach the gospel. But he is unable to do so owing to lack of funds for his journey and, as he knows that for this purpose Your Majesty has most generously granted the viaticum to other apostolic missionaries in a similar case, he begs Your Majesty to order that he be given the customary viaticum for his journey and he will thereby receive favour from the bountiful generosity of Your Majesty.

9. There was no certificate from the University of Sig?enza confirming that Campbell had completed his ecclesiastical studies satisfactorily and Father Clarke does not appear to have made enquiries there as he did in Seville three years before. We can only surmise as to the reason and as to why he seems to strain the truth in making his recommendation so entirely favourable :

   Muy Señor mío,
   I write in compliance with the King's order which you transmitted to me concerning the request made by Don Andrés Cambel in his memorial. I have seen a testimonial from the rector of the English College in Seville who states that the person in question studied, in that college, philosophy for three years and theology for one year. He did not continue because he was in poor health and the climate did not suit him. However, as it is evident that he continued and concluded the courses of theology in other universities of Spain, I believe that it would be fitting that His Majesty's favour be extended to him and that he be granted the usual viaticum for his journey to the missions of Ireland for the glory of God, the good of those catholics and the conversion of heretics. His Majesty will decide according to his pleasure. May God keep you many years as I wish. Madrid, 13 July 1740.
   Guillermo Clarke

10. A brief note attached to Document 8 above states that an order for the payment by the Spanish treasury of one hundred ducats by way of viaticum to Don Andr?s Cambel was issued on 19 September 1741, over fourteen months after this application, and this is the last reference we have to Bishop Campbell's student days in Spain.
