About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Thomas D'Arcy McGee was an Irish refugee and a father of the Canadian confederation. His work on Irish history is comprehensive, encompassing twelve books; Book 11 subtitled “From the Accession of George I to the Legislative Union of England and Ireland”, addresses the 1700s, the Goerges, the further oppresion of the Irish people, and the final dismissal of the Irish Parliament.
