About this Item
In two volumes. [12], lxxx, 376; [8], 435pp, [1]. Parallel Gaelic and English text. With an engraved portrait frontispiece, depicting Turlough Carolan, to Vol. I. Contemporary gilt-tooled vellum, contrasting brown calf lettering-pieces, marbled edges. Lightly rubbed and marked. Marbled endpapers, scattered spotting. Ink-stamps to half-titles and blank endpapers of John Raphael of Ahoghill, Galgorm, sometime director of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, Ballymena. The first edition of an extensive anthology of traditional Irish Bardic poetry, including compositions by the blind Celtic harper Turlough Carolan (1670-1738), selected and translated by historian James Hardiman (1782- 1855). The majority of the songs were likely taken from manuscript, the value of the work is however somewhat diminished by a lack of attributions. Jackson p.561. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # AQ24809
