History at University College Dublin is dedicated to the memory of
their colleague Albert Lovett (1944-2000) who taught at UCD for
twenty-five years. Covering topics from 1066, Edward II, The
Lombard League, the Irish-Counter Reformation, Ireland and colonial
America, Irish-born elites in Canada and the U.S., and nature and
nationalism in modern Ireland, these essays provide lively reading
on subjects covering a wide range of time and place, reflecting
Lovett's own interests.

law may be of easy access-has extracted the many commandments,
precedents and customs which are to be found throughout the sacred
writings and has sought to present them logically and
systematically, in the style of a modern law book." -- Preface, v
