All Saints' Cootehill, 1819-2019 : A history of the church, the parish, and its people
The story begins in the mists of the seventeenth century with the establishment of a pre-reformation church on Drumgoon Hill, followed by the building of St. James, the first Church of Ireland place of worship in Cootehill, and later, its replacement by the present-day All Saints’ Church, on Market Street in 1819. The book helps to shine a light on cross-community relations during the nineteenth century, recalling the forgotten friendship of the Rev. Archibald Douglas and James Browne, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Kilmore, both of whom co-operated on important projects for the betterment of life for the locals. All Saints’ reveals more to the reader, about the life and labours of Bishop John Richard Darley, who established the Darley School, a man of charity who gave to all, regardless of creed. There are also many interesting tales, such as the draining of the lake at Killyrue, the rent reductions provided during An Gorta Mór, to Lady Wyndham’s humorous encounter with a donkey, and a rector’s bout as the chairman of Cootehill boxing club. This book will be a must for anyone with an interest in Ireland’s local, social and cross-community history.

Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland
"The Memoirs are a uniquely detailed source for the history of the northern half of Ireland immediately before the Great Famine. They were written in the 1930's to accompany the 6" ordnance survey maps, but with one exception were not published at the time. In this new edition they act as a nineteenth century Domesday book and are essential to the understanding of the cultural heritage of our communities. The Memoirs document the landscape and situation, buildings, and antiquities, land-holdings and population, employment and livelihood of the parishes."--Back cover.
The Origins of Modern Irish Socialism, 1881-1896
It is commonly believed that James Connolly initiated modern Irish socialism when he founded the Irish Socialist Republican Party in May 1896. This book challenges that myth by making available for the first time a detailed history of the beginnings of modern Irish socialism. Based on original sources, this study traces the development of socialism in Ireland from the influence of William Thompson, Marx and the First International through to the arrival of Connolly and the struggle for independence. The author explores the radicalizing element of the land war, the impact of British socialism in Ireland, and the emergence of socialist organizations in Dublin. He also examines the leading role played by socialists in the politicization of the labour movement and charts their changing position in relation to Irish independence.
