Description

First Edition, Very Scarce

The first edition of this work in the original paper boards. Ink inscription to the paste down. List of subscribers to the front of the volume. This volume is separated into the four provinces of Ireland, and includes details of its mail and stagecoach roads at the beginning of the 19th Century. Landowners' names, churches, markets, castle ruins, natural attractions, and memorable events are also mentioned, and consequently make this book a great source for research.

Condition

In the original paper boards. Externally sound, with some bumping to the extremities and losses due to insect damage. Joints are starting to split but are still firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally clean with just some spotting to the first and last few pages.

Overall: Good Only
