This early work constitutes a comprehensive study of Ireland s
indigenous system of law. Brehon Law survived in Ireland until the
17th century when it was finally supplanted by the English common
law. Brehon law was first transcribed in the 7th century, but had
existed long before in the form of customs that were passed down
the generations in the oral tradition. Ginnell s handbook is a
fascinating read that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on
the bookshelf of any legal or social historian, and all those that
are interested in the history of the Emerald Isle. Comprise
Contents Include: Ancient Law; existing remains of Irish Law; The

Conclusion. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
