Joseph A. Galbraith

Galbraith, Joseph Allen (1818-90), professor of experimental philosophy and a proponent of home rule, was born in Dublin in November 1818, the son of Richard Galbraith, a merchant and Scottish Presbyterian, and his wife Rebecca. His father died in the 1820s, after which he supported himself in many ways. After receiving an intermediate education from the Rev. John Sargent of Donnibrook, and then on St. George's Street, he entered the TCD as a retired student on November 3, 1834, was awarded the title of Moderator in Mathematics (1839) and received a bachelor's degree (1840). Studying for 13 years at TCD College to pay for continuous preparation for an internship for one year, he became a TCD Junior Researcher on June 3, 1844, passing a huge exam (in Latin) on his first attempt, although he was clearly not until the summer of 1843 in classical preparation. In November 1844, he became a student in mathematics, and in April 1845 he was elected to the RIA. He was ordained deacon in the Irish Church in 1846 and served as junior dean in 1847-188. Despite his views, he listened with pleasure to the speeches of Daniel O'Connell (see) and others at meetings of the Association of cancellation in the Conciliation Hall on the Burg Embankment. Recruited by the Junior Dean for neglecting the preaching required by the office on ordinary topics about the main events in the British calendar after restoration, he defiantly shouted the vice-rector in his next sermon for his unwanted attachment to the lord's entourage. lieutenant.
