book, who is an older gentleman who has long been an avid reader, said this was one of the best and most important
5 books he has ever read. Another person saw original at library of Bob Jones Univ. and ordered a copy from me, and could
not believe the quality, being far better than the original; he took his new copy to BJU and showed it to them, and they
ordered a copy so they could "retire" to the archives the original.

I may print this if enough people are interested; it is ready to print.
- The History of Ireland from the Earliest Period to the Present Time (1867; 1885 ed.) Martin Haverty; Hardback 1,162pp., illustrated, chapters on Celtic literature & geography of counties of Ireland (not in 1867 ed.). This is not “Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland, by the Four Masters” (7 vols./4,000pp. rare & very expensive). [Though I do have a few volumes in paperback by another publisher. INQUIRE. Haverty drew directly from The Annals..., gleaning most relevant & from modern editors of The Annals... (Dr. O’Donovan, Prof. Eugene Curry, Rev C.P. Meehan, Dr. R.R. Madden, & other eminent scholars). Haverty’s considered finest work on Irish History; entire text intact; contains short history of “The Annals...” & brief biography of The Four Masters, editors & translators (& photos) Haverty, & others who wrote classic works on history of Ireland (Geoffrey Keating, Villanueva, etc.) written / compiled by Modern Publisher. INQUIRE if interested

Maybe I will prepare the first volume or two of this if any are interested; and then I will do the other volumes too.
- Ancient History (1730-1738) Charles Rollin, 4 vol, c.780p./each, Vol 1 (from 1855 London ed. with intro. & biog. from 1829 ed.) Vol 2,3,4 (from latest London ed. c.1900) EXCELLENT! Christian perspective. Extensively quotes Herodotus, Pliny, etc. Quoted extensively by later historians.
