| A History of the County Dublin The people,
parishes and antiquities from the earliest times to the close of the 19th century.
By Francis Elrington Ball.
This work covers almost all of Dublin and was originally published in six volumes
(1902-1920).
This is a scholarly work - a majestic six-volume history of old Dublin - and, considering
that it was produced before computers were even a dream, a textual monument to what
can be achieved through dedication, organisation and perseverance.
It's also as dry as dust (I think I'm allowed that after persevering through
photocopying, scanning and proofing (?) the entire six volumes).
The Environs of Dublin. A separate article from the
main work written by Ball for the British Association in 1908. Overview of the history of
Dublin.
