Description:
1868 1ed IRELAND History Irish Colonial AMERICA & SLAVERY Catholics Illustrated

James MacGeoghegan was an Irish Roman Catholic priest and historian. His 'History of Ireland' was written in French and published at Parish in 1758. John Mitchel's 1868 'History of Ireland' professes to be merely a continuation of MacGeoghegan, though Mitchel is throughout much more of a partisan than MacGeoghegan.

This 1868 edition includes numerous full-page illustrations throughout including a color frontispiece! It is notable, not only for its impressive illustrations, but for the contents including
·
Treaty of Limerick
·
William II
·
Battle of Landen
·
Queen Anne
·
Influence of the English Parliament
·
Important early American affairs, correspondence between Ireland and the British Colonies – discussions on American slavery and English alliances concerning slaves
·
And much, much more

Description:
First Edition. London 1937. Scarce copy of the personal perspective of the Irish journalist and war correspondent Francis McCullagh (1874-1956) on the Spanish Civil War which was raging as he wrote.

The binding is tight. Book has age related shelf wear but boards are sound with slight soiling to rear cover and spine.
Gilt lettering on spine (a little faded). Spine extremities a little rubbed.
Text block is very good+ with very light spotting to to first three leaves and final three leaves only. Otherwise leaves clean with no markings.Small black mark on lower edge not affecting leaves.
A very good copy. Very scarce.
