From earliest times to the days of O'Connell, the speed of travel was no faster than that of a galloping horse; news of great events could take days even weeks to reach from one end of the country to another. This book describes the significant changes in everyday life - food, entertainment, household goods, working conditions, medicine, roads and communication - and what brought them about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLouis Cullen, who is lecturer in history at Trinity College, Dublin, based the material on original and pioneering research he has carried out over a number of years. The illustrations are drawn from a variety of sources including the National Gallery, the National Library, the \u003cem\u003eLondon Illustrated News \u003c\/em\u003eand from many locations all over Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the older generation this book will recall a way of life in the countryside which has virtually disappeared and for the younger generation it will illuminate what life was like while historic events such as the '98 rising, O'Connell's repeal movement, the Fenians and 1916 were being enacted. For both parents and pupils, this book will serve as a useful companion to the Telefís Scoile series of the same title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis M.
