Hello Frank and List, 'Counties Londonderry & Donegal, a Topoghraphical Dictionary of the Parishes, Vilages and Towns of these Counties in the 1830s' , by Samuel Lewis, first published in 1837, by S. Lewis & Co., 87 Aldersgate Street, London, has been republished in 2004 by: Friar's Bush Press. 160 Ballylesson Road, Belfast, BT8 8JU, Ireland. ISBN 0-946872-63-5 'The book presents an unusual combination of contemporary sources on life in Counties Londonderry and Donegal over one hundred and sixty years ago. The text is extracted from Samuel Lewis's monumental two volumed topographical dictionary of Ireland, first published in 1837. It has been combined with many maps and engravings of the period. The end result is a very special view of the parishes and towns of these counties in the years before the great changes of the Victorian era. It provides a compelling record of agriculture, industry, population, buildings and antiquities in the 1830s.' trarefore This is by no means a complete guide to life in 1830s Ireland and there are many more Derry than Donegal pages. However, many of you may find it invaluable and the dozen or so Donegal photographs and maps alone are well well worth the price of Euro 18.75. The book should be available from ABC Book Shop, Letterkenny, from The Four Master Book Shop, Donegal Town..etc. Beannacht Dé, P.J.
