Details: Product description With an introduction and notes by Andrew Carpenter. [Dunton was a London bookseller and publisher who, in 1699, published an account of his adventures in the book trade in Dublin during the previous year. Apart from insights into the Irish publishing world at that time, Dunton also remarks on Irish life generally]. Synopsis Published in 1699, this book by a London bookseller and publisher is a composite of travel writing, talk of the book trade, and personal reflections. From editor Carpenter's introduction: [This book is] as idiosyncratic in its form, style, language and tone as anything ever written on Ireland....the first part is, in places, tediously pugnacious.
