We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

This term gives names to places by rivers and lakes as well as by the sea: and in many cases the t is changed to d by eclipse. There is a lake in the parish of Moyrus in Connemara, called Loughannadown, i. e. Lochan-na-dtonn, the little lake of the waves; so called, I suppose, from being very much exposed to the wind, and subject therefore to high waves. Near Knocklona; in Limerick, there aro four adjoining townlands called Mitchelstowndown of which the proper Irish name is Baile-Mhistealaighna-dtonn Ballyvistela-na-down; the first part signifies the town of Mitchell, and this has been translated, while the last part has been left untouched. The whole name means "the town of Mitchell of the waves." The epithet na-dtonn, " of the waves," may belong to the place, as it is situated on the Morning Star river; and in this case the inference would be that it was so called to distinguish it from Mitchelstown in the county Cork, not very far off: but I think this unlikely. Or it may be that the person who left his name on the place was called " Mitchell of the waves," because he was a sailor or a voyager. On the western shore of Lough Swilly in the parish of Clondavaddog, Donegal, there is a little hamlet called Bunnaton, the bun or end of the wave--a name which probably was originally applied to the highest point reached by the surge in the little bay. A varied form of the genitive is seen in Derrintin, the name of a small lake and townland near the Erriff river, four miles above Leenane at the head of the Killeries; Doire-an-tuinn, the oak-wood of the wave. In the last name the word is used in the masculine. But it is more generally femini...

I rish Place names that is, representing them in English letters, of which the main purpose was to convey the correct I rish sounds certain letter-changes had to be made. Some of these were regular, i.e. in accordance with established phonetic or grammatical laws; some irregular not in accordance. These phonetic laws and customs are set forth, and that for the first time, in Vols. I and II of this work; but for convenience of reference I will here briefly state the most important of them, with some others not in the first volumes, referring my readers to these two volumes for fuller explanations. A spiration I rish consonants are often aspirated, by which they are changed and softened in sound. A spiration is commonly denoted by putting hafter the letter. In the anglicised forms the aspirated sounds only are retained, represented by the proper English letters. I. Band maspirated (bh, mh) are sounded like vor w.

He was born in Ballyorgan in the Ballyhoura Mountains, on the borders of counties Limerick and Cork in Ireland, and grew up in nearby Glenosheen.
He then attended school in Mitchelstown, County Cork.
The family claimed descent from one Seán Mór Seoighe (fl 1680), a stonemason from Connemara, County Galway. Robert Dwyer Joyce was a younger brother. Joyce was a native Irish speaker who started his education at a hedge school.
Joyce started work in 1845 with the Commission of National Education.
He became a teacher and principal of the Model School, Clonmel. In 1856 he was one of fifteen teachers selected to re-organize the national school system in Ireland.
Meanwhile he earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1861 and Master of Arts in 1863 from Trinity College, Dublin. He was principal of the Training College, Marlborough Street, in Dublin from 1874 to 1893.
He was President of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland from 1906 to 1908, an association of which he was a member from 1865.
Joyce was a key cultural figure of his time. His wide interests included the Irish language, Hiberno-English, music, education, Irish literature and folklore, Irish history and antiquities, place-names and much else. He produced many works on the history and culture of Ireland.
His most enduring work is the pioneering The Origin and History of (first edition published in 1869).
The P.W. Joyce collection at the Cregan Library in Street Patrick"s College, Drumcondra, Dublin, reflects many of Joyce"s interests and includes many rarities. The collection also contains nine manuscripts associated with Joyce and his family members, including a very fine manuscript in P.W. Joyce"s own hand of Echtra Cormaic itir Tairngiri agus Ceart Claíd Cormaic (Adventures of Cormac in the Land of Promise), a passage from the Book of Ballymote, which Joyce translated into English.
