Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Geography of Ireland
IN various respects an island, being (so to say) self contained, is the most convenient unit for detailed geographical study. The justification of this statement is one object of this volume; another will be served if it is found to suggest directions in which further geographi cal investigation is possible, whether on the physical, the historical, or the economic side. The absence, for the most part, of textbooks for such study points to the opportunity for research. My own indebtedness, how ever, to the works of Professor E. Hull on the physical and Dr. P. W. Joyce on the historical side must be acknowledged.
