Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Genealogies, Tribes, and Customs of Hy-Fiachrach, Commonly Called O'dowda's Country: Now First Published From the Book of Lecan, in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy, and From the Genealogical Manuscript of Duald Mac Firbis, in the Library of Lord Roden
The last years of Firbis's life were employed in drawing up a glossary for the explanation of our Old law terms, the great desideratum of the present age. Of the fate Of this last performance we know nothing, but we may well suppose it lost, as the author lived without a single patron, in days unfavourable to the arts of which he was master.
