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.
