A HUNDRED YEARS OF BRAY AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD: FROM 1770 TO 1870. By "An old inhabitant." 80 pages, originally published in 1907 at Dublin, Ireland.

This scarce and entertaining local history gives us a view of the occurances in this County Wicklow town during a turbulent and complex century. The narrative covers both the major political events and characters, and the everyday social details such as fashions and modes of travel. A great number of people are named in this work, the greater proportion of them being the gentry but some farmers and working class people are included. Important primarily for the perspective it gives on life in Bray over a century ago, this little work will entertain as well as inform.
