One of the first Irish-English dictionaries of the 20th century, written by linguist and author W O'Neill-Lane. An original copy of the book can be seen in the National Library of Ireland in Dublin.

This dictionary was compiled by the writer William Emperor O'Neill-Lane. I am related to him on my mother's side. On the page it mentions that he also wrote a book named 'Highways and Byways of Ireland'. With my photography and writing I am following in the footsteps of my illustrious and literary ancestor.
