Description
This ground breaking, three-volume set reconstructs for the first time the proceedings of the Irish House of Lords during the busy years of the late eighteenth century. Based in the first instance on press reports, this edition also brings together reports of individual debates and high-profile speeches to provide a unique vista on the personalities, policies and politics of the parliament over three decades. Presented with an extensive introduction, this work is a landmark in the historiography of eighteenth-century Ireland and in the history of the pre-Union Irish parliament.
