Sir William Wilde (1815 76), surgeon and father of Oscar Wilde, was
an Irish patriot and antiquarian with a keen interest in the
history of his country. This life of Gabriel Beranger (1729 1817),
published in 1880, describes the activities of an Irish antiquarian
in the eighteenth century. Born in Rotterdam, the Huguenot Beranger
moved to Dublin in 1750 and opened a print shop. Historical
pursuits were becoming popular in Dublin society at the time, and
Beranger's sketches of ruins and monuments found great popularity.
He went on several tours of Ireland, keeping a journal of his
observations and the people he encountered, while making plans and
drawings of antiquities with a view to later publication. Wilde's
work, drawn from Beranger's journal and from the memories of people
who had known him in his old age, offers an engaging insight into
early antiquarian practice in Ireland."
