The 150th anniversary of the Irish potato famine in autumn 1996 is already stirring a highly emotional reappraisal of the history of English treatment of Ireland. The belief that the racist English refused substantial famine relief to Ireland because of their hatred for the Celtic race is widespread both within and outside the scholarly community. Reprint of the 1596 book. "The Society's aim is to bring the history and traditions of policing in Ireland (especially the history of the Garda Síochána) into the public arena in an organised fashion." James Hardiman (also known as Seamus O hArgadain) was trained as a lawyer and became sub-commissioner of public records in Dublin Castle. The death of so many during the Famine can not be accounted for with a single explanation pointing a finger at one party or event. One must consult Cultural History, Political History, Economic History, History of Plants and of Fungus, the History of Climate and of Geology and who knows what other histories to even begin to describe the complex entity known as the Great Potato Famine. The Irish Famine of 1846-50 took as many as one million lives from hunger and disease, and changed the social and cultural structure of Ireland in profound ways. The Famine also spurred new waves of immigration, thus shaping the histories of the United States and Britain as well.

A computerised index to the records was prepared with the help of IBM and is available for use at various locations in Australia."
