Corporation book of Ennis

"... Here edited for the first time, is a record of the transactions of Ennis Corporation in the period 1660-1810. The book is essentially a transcription of the corporation records mad by the town clerk John ÓDonnell in 1796... it illustrates how a provincial corporation, dominated by a Protestant elite, functioned in an overwhelmingly Catholic town in the eighteenth century." --Dust jacket.
