After leaving school he helped found two Cork institutions: in 1849, with Justin McCarthy, he established the Cork Historical Society and in 1852 he founded the Cork Young Men's Society. In 1851 he undertook a continental tour, the experiences of which gave him the material for his first publication, Letters on land tenures, in which he contrasted Irish and continental tenurial systems.(Submitted on June 4, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
