Named for its mythical leader "Captain Rock," avenger of agrarian wrongs, the Rockite movement of 1821-24 in Ireland was notorious for its extraordinary violence. In Captain Rock, James S. Donnelly, Jr., offers both a fine-grained analysis of the conflict and a broad exploration of Irish rural society after the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.Originating in west Limerick, the Rockite movement spread quickly under the impact of a prolonged economic depression. Before long the insurgency embraced many of the better-off farmers. The intensity of the Rockites' grievances, the frequency of their resort to sensational violence, and their appeal on such key issues as rents and tithes presented a nightmarish challenge to Dublin Castle--prompting in turn a major reorganization of the police, a purging of the local magistracy, the introduction of large military reinforcements, and a determined campaign of judicial repression. A great upsurge in sectarianism and millenarianism, Donnelly shows, added fuel to the conflagration. Inspired by prophecies of doom for the Anglo-Irish Protestants who ruled the country, the overwhelmingly Catholic Rockites strove to hasten the demise of the landed elite they viewed as oppressors.
Drawing on a wealth of sources--including reports from policemen, military officers, magistrates, and landowners as well as from newspapers, pamphlets, parliamentary inquiries, depositions, rebel proclamations, and threatening missives sent by Rockites to their enemies--Captain Rock offers a detailed anatomy of a dangerous, widespread insurgency whose distinctive political contours will force historians to expand their notions of how agrarian militancy influenced Irish nationalism in the years before the Great Famine of 1845-51.

Surprisingly Effective and Convenient!
Color: Bag Petrol
I wasn’t sure what to expect with the purse clean ball, but it has turned out to be a great little gadget! It’s simple to use—just toss it into your purse, and it quietly works to pick up crumbs, lint, and small debris.
The sticky interior does an excellent job of collecting all the random dirt that accumulates, and it’s easy to clean—just rinse it under water, let it dry, and it’s good as new. I also love that it’s compact and doesn’t take up much space in my bag.
If you want an easy way to keep your purse tidy without constantly emptying and shaking it out, this is a fun and effective solution. Highly recommend it for anyone who likes to keep their bags neat and clean!

Highly recommend
Color: Black
I love these so much. They make the perfect stocking stuffer but as a chronically messy person, I love throwing them in my purse or backpack. They pick up so much and are really easy to wash off.

Clean Your Purse
Color: Pink
This ball is pretty cool. It acts like a lint roller inside your purse getting all the dirt, crumbs, & lint that accumulates at the bottom. When it's looking nasty, you can rinse it off in the sink & it's good to go back in your purse. It's one of my best Amazon purchases and I will probably buy again if/when the sticky wears off or having a spare on hand.
