Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the County Dublin, Vol. 1: The People, Parishes and Antiquities From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Eighteenth Century Some explanation is, I feel, needed of the reasons which have led me to attempt a task which has already been performed with credit by another author. The undertaking of this work has been due to no feeling of confidence that John D'Alton's "History of the County Dublin," so far as his general treatment of the subject is concerned, could be improved upon. It has originated in a consideration of the quantity of material which has been made available since my predecessor wrote, and of the inadequate space allotted by him to the annals of some of the districts. My aim has been to interest the ordinary reader, rather than the specialist, who can best obtain his information from original authorities; and for this reason I have avoided technical descriptions and details. As the events of the last hundred years would have occupied an undue proportion of the history I have practically confined its scope to the conclusion of the eighteenth century. The parish, which I have chosen as the geographical unit, has been selected because in England it has been found the most convenient division for local history, and though Irish parishes are sadly wanting in the wealth of historical material which those of England afford, still they rival them in early origin, and in most cases possess remains of the primitive church in which their inhabitants at one time united in common worship. Much of the information, which this part contains, has been contributed to the proceedings of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland in two papers read by the late Professor Stokes on "The Antiquities from Kingstown to Dublin," and in five papers of my own entitled, "Stillorgan Park and its History," "Some Residents of Monkstown in the Eighteenth Century," "Monkstown Castle and its History," "Loughlinstown and its History," and "The Castle of Carrickmines and its History."

Book Description
Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of Tallaght in the County of Dublin Ll J HE want of local history has often been complained of, and few writers care to describe what is pass ing around them yet, in after years, how interesting do such records become! Old houses go to decay and their inhabitants die out in a comparatively short space of time no memory of either remains; and if any inquiry becomes necessary, there is great difficulty in finding out anything about them. Within the last two hundred years, what changes have taken place in the topography of our County of Dublin: new roads, new boundaries, buildings, and plantations, have in many places altered the face of the country. Woods which covered large tracts have dis appeared; wastes and marshes have been reclaimed and drained; hills formerly cultivated have again become covered with heath and furze, whilst others have been cleared and enclosed. How valuable would a History of the County of Dublin, such as d'alton's, written two hundred years ago, be in the present day. D'alton's is perhaps the only local History we have; and although it contains inaccuracies, still it is a most valuable record.

Excerpt from A History of the County Dublin, Vol. 4: The People, Parishes and Antiquities From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Eighteenth Century With the object of completing this History in six parts the present one has been considerably increased in size. It is hoped that the delay which, as a consequence, has attended its publication may be compensated for by the exceptional interest of the district to which its pages refer. Several of the great residences of the metropolitan county will be found to come. Under review, and the lives of not a few statesmen and soldiers who have had a share in shaping the destinies of.

Book Description
Excerpt from Southern Fingal: Being the Sixth Part of a History of County Dublin and and Extra Volume of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland When Howth and its Owners was published by the Society as an extra volume in 1917, the Council stated in the Preface that Dr. Ball had intimated his intention of completing his History in two more volumes, with a general review and index, and of bearing himself the whole cost. Last year he informed the Council that he had found, to his great regret, that he was unable to fulfil his promise. The reason that he was unable to do so was twofold, namely, because the purchasing power of money had greatly diminished, while the expense of printing and paper had increased, and because the material for a history of the northern part of the county greatly exceeded his anticipation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Howth and Its Owners: Being the Fifth Part of a History of County Dublin and an Extra Volume of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland On a first view the peninsula seems to have more connexion with the present than the past. As it is approached from the west by its isthmus modern villas and places of worship are alone seen, and within its limits houses Of the last century are every where most conspicuous. III addition, an artificial harbour on its northern shore, and a light-house at its eastern extremity, tend to increase its association with later times. But a closer inspec tion shows that the peninsula contains many ancient remains, indeed, more than any other area of the same size in the county of Dublin, and affords much scope for archfeological and historical research. A cromlech recalls the primeval age; a fortified head land, the days of the Celtic monarchy; an early sanctuary, the dawn Of Christianity; and the varied architecture of a castle and church, whose foundations were laid nearly seven centuries ago, the changes of subsequent periods. To the evidence of an event ful past afforded by these relics, the place names make addition, and establish a close connexion with the Scandinavian invaders, from whose tongue the names of the peninsula and its island are derived.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Ireland The struggle for liberty of trade seems to have been this session carried to the other side of the channel, where it was warmly debated in the English house of commons. The state of Ireland had grown so cala mitons and alarming, that it called for immediate attention and relief. There be gan to appear in England a strong feeling of sympathy for the sister island, and the subject was alluded to on several occasions in the English house of commons, until at length, on the second of April, lord Nugent moved that a committee of the whole house should be appointed to consider of the trade of Ireland. He observed, that the conduct of Great Britain towards its sister kingdom had been no less impolitic than unjust, and that the present situation of public affairs called particularly on this country to enter into a revision of the Irish trade laws. The only Opposition which showed itself against this measure at first originated with a few gentlemen, who from their situation as representatives of manufacturing towns or counties, entered into the prejudices of their constituents.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Ireland These two gentlemen proceeded to fulfil their mission, but their expostulations pro duced no effect, and they found that the only effect of their arrival was immediately to turn all thoughts upon Wexford, where it was determined to proceed without delay. Fitzgerald, willingly or by constraint, re mained with the insurgents, and marched with them that evening to a new encamp ment at the Three Rocks, not more than two miles and-a-half from Wexford. Three Rocks is the termination of a long but not high ridge of hills, called the Mountain of Forth, separating the baronies of Bargy and Forth from the rest of the county. Col clough returned direct to Wexford, where he arrived early in the evening, and having waited in the Bull-ring till the officers and other gentlemen in the town had assembled, he gave them an account of his proceedings, and announced that it was the intention of the rebels to attack the town. He then called on Mr. Harvey at the jail, with whom he agreed to return next day and change places with him, after which he set off through the barony of Forth to his own dwelling at Ballyleigh, which was about ten miles distant from Wexford.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Royal Dublin Society The present members of the Society, as well as the general public, may have certain ideas as to the utility and importance of its work in the past, without any definite conception of the varied and comprehensive character of the very thorough methods adopted in the course of their labours by the long line of distinguished men who joined in carrying out the Society's objects. It is well that now, at the close of nearly two centuries, through the public spirit of Lord Ardilaun, the details can be systematised, and some account in historical shape be given of its endeavours, so that the innumerable obligations under which our country stands to generations of Irishmen who have worked for the common good under its auspices may be recognised.
