FROM THE FRONT FLAP: Learned societies, such as the Royal Society of London and the Academie des Sciences of Paris, were a central feature of the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. K. T. Hoppen shows that a study of the work and membership of these groups is essential before any realistic assessment can be made of the scientific world at this time. The present book provides a detailed examination of one such institution - the Philosophical Society which flourished at Dublin between 1683 and 1708 and numbered among its members Sir William Petty and George Berkeley. ; 297 pages .

"This paperback edition brings together in one volume Oliver MacDonagh's acclaimed two-volume biography of Daniel O'Connell. The first part of this biography traces O'Connell's life in France and Ireland; his secret marriage; his financial irresponsibility and cares; his practice at the Irish Bar; his mobilization of the Irish masses; and the tremendous achievement of Catholic Emancipation in 1829. The central theme of the latter part of O'Connell's life is his demand for, and campaigns in support of, the repeal of the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Although it failed, it was an epic struggle against immense odds and a masterpiece of the political art. In its power of depiction and analysis, this is a fitting biography for the giant of nineteenth-century Irish history" [from the back cover]. The seminal biography of a noted Irish patriot!
