Westropp article of 1900, a "must see"

[smcarberry]

Yes, I just keep finding Westropp articles. I am actually searching with placename words and stop in my tracks when I get to a publication with stunning maps and pictures. Then I scroll back to the title page to learn, yet again, that Thomas Westropp is the author.

This very long article was produced as a mixture of early-day blog
and guidebook for fellow antiquarians, after a group from Westropp's
society had toured Clare to see the good old sites. Westropp really
outdid himself with maps, sketches, elaborate drawings, photos, and
far more history than one person should know (I hope he tried documenting it). Immensely informative and eye-opening.

I show first the official title and then how to reach it on Google Books.

Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland
Antiquarian Handbook Series, No. V
by T. Johnson Westropp, 1900

This search phrase was tested and works --
Go to the Google main page and look for the blue-links in a toolbar in
the upper lefthand corner (which start out Web Video...) Click on the
blue link labellled "more" and then choose "Books" from the resulting
menu. In the search box, use exactly this phrase:

quinhy subject:ireland

The results will be labelled as Royal Society of Antiquaries. Both
page 400-something and p. 81 work just fine. Just scroll back to the
start of the article and settle in for a while.

For those lacking the time to do so, this article provides substantiation
of something that I had guessed when I was doing my earlier searching,
that Quinhy or Quenhi was shortened at one point to become the
modern name Quin, the town to the east of Ennis and the site of
a preserved friary.
