Colon. Agr. 1762-72 One of the most interesting volumes relating to the History of Ireland. The Supplement, comprising pp. 728-950, is of extreme rarity. Although the title bears the imprint of Cologne, it has been clearly ascertained that it was produced under the author’s inspection, by a printer named Edmund Finn, at Kilkenny in Ireland. In most copies of Burke’s Hibernia Dominicana, five leaves, pp. 137-146 inclu- sively, are wanting, having been SUPPRESSED BY AUTHORI@Y; this copy has these castrations, which are of very rare occurrence.
