Synopsis

The Journal of John Stevens offers a concise, documentary look at the War in Ireland from 1689 to 1691 through the lens of a committed observer and translator.

Drawing on Stevens’s own journal and surrounding materials, this edition frames his life as a translator of Spanish works and a participant in the era’s political and military events. It situates his writings within a broader tradition of translation and scholarship while presenting his firsthand accounts of sieges, campaigns, and the daily realities of 17th‑century conflict.

• Context on John Stevens’s life, travels, and role in the Jacobite period.


• Accounts of key events, including sieges and the arrival of French forces during the war.


• Editorial notes that compare Stevens’s translations with those of earlier and contemporary scholars.


• Front matter and reference material such as appendices, bibliography, and an index to aid research.

Ideal for readers of historical military narrative and 17th‑century studies who want a grounded, source‑focused view of Ireland’s war and the people who chronicled it.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This first edition of the Journal of John Stevens has had the advantage of the criticisms of two masters of seventeenth-century history, Mr,R.B agwell and Professor C. H. Firth, who most kindly read through the manuscript and proof-sheets. To Professor Fitzmaurice-K ellys special and intimate knowledge of Spanish literature I owe not a little. Mr. A. C. Stewart, of the British Museum, furnished me with valuable suggestions. Messrs. Macmi Uan Co. have been good enough to allow me to use the map of Limerick in my Revolutionary I reland and its Settlement. My thanks are due to Dr. F. Elrington Ball and Mr. T. U. Sadleir, for their readiness to advise me on difficult points, and also to Major and Mrs. Lenox Conyngham, of Spring Hill, for their kindness in lending me their copy of the Negociations ... en I rlande, 1689-90 by Comte d Avaux. It only remains for me to express my gratitude to my wife for the patience and judgement with which she revised the proof-sheets. ROBERT H. MURRAY. II Harcourt Terrace, Dublin.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
