The Trinity College estates, 1800-1923

Trinity College of Dublin had extensive land holdings scattered over 16 counties of Ireland. "This book is not only a study of institutional estate management through a turbulent period of Irish land history, but also an examination of a uniquely complex middleman system --on the college estate were to be found examples of almost every conceivable landholder in nineteenth century Ireland, ranging from peers of the realm to indigent maiden ladies." --Dust jacket.
