Early Irish History and Mythology. Dublin: D.I.A.S., 1946. First Edition. Pp x, 568. First Edition. Publisher’s black cloth boards. A very good copy.

Regarded on publication as the most important book on Irish history since the publication of Eugene O’Curry’s ‘The Manuscript Materials of Ancient Irish History,’ in 1860.

The book is concerned mainly with the early history of Ireland. Events and persons of early Christian Ireland are occasionally discussed; but for the most part it confines itself to the history of Ireland previous to official introduction of Christianity in A.D. 431.
