Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 615 p. ; 23 cm. ; ISBN: 038920160X; 9780389201601 ; LC: DA950; Dewey: 941 ; OCLC: 7112692 ; brown cloth ; no dustjacket ; ex-lib, stamps, label ; "This is the first dictionary devoted solely to the events of Irish history. Although a small country, Ireland has had a history of great complexity : any work such as this which attempted to deal with events from earliest times to the present could only be contained withing manageable limits at the cost being severely restricted in scope. It has been necessary, therefore, to concentrate on a specific period. It seemed to us that the period since the Act of Union was the appropriate one to choose, for three main reasons. The availability of the source materials is greater than for earlier centuries. Proceeding from this, the modern period has been the subject of a great number of excellent and scholarly studies, on both general and specific subjects, [and] finally, it would appear that the greatest public interest is focused on the history of Ireland since the Union." ; FINE.
