'The Historical Songs of Ireland: Illustrative of the Revolutionary Struggle' (1841)


To the present-day reader this title, at first glance, probably suggests that it contains a very different type of ideological content than it actually does. This is a collection of 13 songs from 1688 & 1689, from the Williamite Revolution / Glorious Revolution, compiled by Thomas Crofton Croker and which is available online here. Croker was born in Cork in the significant year of 1798 - his Wikipedia page is here.
