  • Summary

    Goldsmith was a prominent member of the Irish diaspora in London. This chapter details recent research on the London’s Irish population in the eighteenth century and offers a picture of his many connections and friendships within this community, with particular reference to compatriots in his social and professional milieux. The chapter demonstrates how London saw a level of social intermingling and professional collaboration between Irish of different denominational origins which was hardly achievable in Ireland.
