The Antiquities
of County Clare
Ordnance Survey Letters, 1839
by John O'Donovan & Eugene Curry
The Examiner
March 1998
Their records of the county based on
a typescript of their original manuscripts prepared in 1928 by Rev. Micheal
O'Flanagan, have now been newly published as The Antiquities of County
Clare (CLASP Press, €21.00). The production is a credit to the Clare
LocAl Studies Project, which was set up by four members of County Clare
Library staff in co-operation with FÁS. There are numerous original
maps and several illustrations features and ruins. Dr. Willie Nolan of
U.C.D. provides a scholarly introduction, and his comment that "this
collection breathes life into the landscape and serves as a measure of
both loss and survival" is a description that befits the book beautifully.
