BIBLIOGRAPHY
I have attempted to make not so much an exhaustive bibliography of the subject, which I think unnecessary in an account for general reading, as a list of books known to me or helpful in the writing of this work.
HISTORIES OF IRELAND
Green, Alice Stopford (Mrs. J. R. Green), Irish Nationality, London, 1911. One of the little volumes of the Home University Library series. It is written with vigor and much charm, but represents the ardor of recent Irish nationalism rather than critical handling of materials.
Joyce, Patrick Weston, A Concise History of Ireland from the Earliest Times to 1908, 20th ed., Dublin, 1914. A very useful little work. The earlier portion, to 1608, is an abridgment of the author's larger book.
Joyce, P. W., A Short History of Ireland from the Earliest Times to 1608, 3d ed., London, 1904. The careful work of an authority, and one of the best general histories of Ireland.
Morris, William O'Connor, Ireland, 1494-1905, Cambridge, 1909. One of the volumes of the Cambridge Historical Series. Revised by Robert Dunlop, who added notes and the last chapter, on the period 1868-1905.
Some of the best contemporary accounts, like the books of Edmund Spenser, Sir John Davies, Sir William Petty, and Bishop Berkeley, have been brought together in
