Book Description
Excerpt from Memorable Dublin Houses Commence our tour of interest at College Green, we first visit Trinity College. In the first floor on the left of the Portico of the Examination Hall, standing on the right in Parliament Square - the entrance being in the court - lived, 1807-21, the eccentric Vice-Provost, and Professor of Oriental Languages, John Barrett, D.D., familiarly spoken of to this day as "Jacky Barrett." Many years before, when a student, and occupying a garret in the library square, where his extreme penuriousness led him to dispense with a fire in the severest weather, it is recorded that he was on one occasion found by some frolicsome fellow-students the night being bitterly cold-sitting doubled up, apparently reading his Greek lecture for the morning, with a rushlight stuck in the back of the chair, and growing stiff and torpid with the cold, and was resuscitated by a draught of hot rum punch from the kettle in which it was the custom to concoct the "brew." He kept his money in a stocking - which on one occasion burst in his hand during an interview with a student - until he had accumulated enough to buy a debenture. "So strong was his passion for hoarding," we read in the article above quoted, "that he never burned a candle in the evening unless engaged in writing or some other occupation which rendered one absolutely necessary... How completely this extraordinary passion had counteracted the natural kindness of his disposition was strongly exhibited in another instance towards his poor old attendant Catty.
