About This Item

139 p.; ill.; 20 cm. 1979 translation.

Well-bound softcover with illustrations throughout, once owned by the Manitoba Genealogical Society. There are the expected library markings and shelfwear, including a small tear to bottom of cover, and a few dogears throughout, but otherwise quite Fine internally.

From the rear:

This diary is, at one and the same time, both a fascinating social history and the self-portrait of a most sensitive man. It was written in Irish between 1827 and 1835 by Humphrey O'Sullivan, while living in Callan, Co. Kilkenny. He followed his father's calling when he became a hedgeschool master but later went on to be-come a prosperous businessman and philanthropist. No aspect of life escaped his attention, from the dire poverty and degradation of the peasantry to the flora and fauna of the region. O'Sullivan's notation of life in Ireland is to be found in manuscripts now in the Royal Irish Academy.
