'All of the articles are of a very high standard and individually and collectively enhance our understanding of the period 1641-50 in early modern Irish history as part of MUP's series. For the historian of political institutions, parliaments, and representative assemblies, there is much to learn and take for a greater understanding and awareness of important developments in Ireland during such a turbulent period. This is well worth a read.' Parliaments, Estates & Representation -- .
