O'NEILL AND ORMOND, A Chapter in 

 Irish History. By DIARMID COFFEY. 

 Demy 8vo. Cloth, 6/- net. 



" Has this singular distinction, that it deals with the 

 most confused and controverted period of the turbid and 

 turbulent history of Ireland at once lucidly and judicially. 

 It is besides a most opportune book dealing as it does 

 with the plantations and confiscations ... a history 

 of the time as unbiassed as it is interesting." Truth. 



" The chapter in Irish history which Mr. Coffey has 

 selected for special examination is one of the greatest 

 interest. . . . Mr. Coffey writes without heat or partisan- 

 ship, and congestion is inevitable where there are so many 

 different points of interest. But one gets the whole affair 

 in clear and bold outline." Pall Mall Gazette. 



" Will be valued for its careful study of the manuscript 

 and other sources of information. It is a careful piece of 

 historical investigation done with an aim after impartiality 

 although the author's sympathies are obviously with 

 Owen Roe O'Neill and his followers." Scotsman. 



" It sets forth in clear detail, marked by an absence of 

 a strong prejudice, the events of one of the most stirring 

 periods in the history of Ireland. The time covered lies 

 between the years 1641-1653, and the mere rehearsal of 

 the incidents during these twelve years makes interesting 

 reading." Glasgow News.

' ' In welcoming this book we welcome its author, who is 

 virtually a new historian. . . . The history of Ireland in 

 the author's view ' affords an interest not altogether dis- 

 similar from that which the physician derives from the 

 most painful and complex cases of bodily disease.' This 

 sentence strikes the note of treatment. Mr. Wilson writes 

 with the calm and patience of the inquirer into causes and 

 effects, and at the same time with a sympathy for the 

 sufferers equally consistent with the character assigned to 

 himself in the comparison.' " Daily News.
