Smithfield And the Parish of St Paul, Dublin, 1698-1750 (Maynooth Studies in Local History)

About this book

"In the 1720s William Hendrick was the leading property developer in the Smithfield area of Dublin. The civic administration of the area at this time was largely within the jurisdiction of the local Church of Ireland vestry of St. Paul's parish of which Hendrick was a member. The book analyzes the physical development and the civic administration of Smithfield in the first half of the 18th century. It also gives short biographies of a number of the leading members of the local Protestant elite in this period."--Jacket.
