[10801] Russett publisher's cloth, gilt titles to spine, 9 x 6 inches. Old library matter with label to spine stamps & bookplate within, discard stamps. 443 generally clean pp., with the maps.  Good. Hardcover. This book "consists, as a glance at the table of contents will show, of two separate parts. Part I. comprises what, for want of a better distinction, must be termed a series of original papers. Part II. contains a number of accounts or descriptions of Ireland in the seventeenth century by seventeenth-century writers. The book has originated in the desire to realize for myself the social condition of Ireland at a period singularly pregnant of lasting effects upon her history; and I have ventured to think that some of the results of a study undertaken with that object may prove interesting to others." - Preface.
