It brings us from the founding of the College in 1795 through to the 1830s and describes the College’s role in the cultural and political life of Ireland at the time, including the links between the College and the nationalist rebellions. There are accounts of notable graduates and fascinating vignettes of the day-to-day life and activities of the College. [From jacket notes]
