Excerpt from The Neighbourhood of Dublin: Its Topography, Antiquities and Historical Associations Since the first edition Of this book appeared eight years ago, I have suffered a personal loss in the death Of mv father, P W. Joyce, who wrote the Introduction to the volume. Disorganisation caused by the War has considerably delayed the second edition. I trust the appearance in it of several new chapters, together with the addition of numerous notes, will compensate for any disappointment experienced by those who have recently found it impossible to Obtain Copies of the earlier issue.
