x, 492 p., [1] leaves of plates : ill. map (fold.) ; 8vo (23 cm). Provenance: authorial dedication to front free endpaper: 'Hearing from Lady Lavery [i.e. Hazel Jenner Lavery, Lady Lavery (1880–1935)] that the Marquise Lady Londonderry has the love of the Gael, this print is sped to her, because some parts of it concern the olden holders of the territory she loves, & may interest her.
