Gilbert's History of Dublin
Harris may have been the first to write a history of Dublin (1766) but the city's finest chronicler, J. T. Gilbert, came nearly 100 years later. Anthony Roche has kindly lent me his copy of Vol. I of this classic work (1854). If anyone can lend me Vol. II and/or III I'll get busy!
