General History
A Concise History of Ireland by P. W. Joyce, circa 1910.
This is a very useful concise history of Ireland for anyone wishing to get an overview of the subject, and has been written quite objectively.
Early Irish History and Antiquities, and the History of West Cork by Rev. W. O'Halloran, 1916.
A good overview of the early history of Ireland from the earliest inhabitants to the Battle of Clontarf. It is also useful for its descriptions of the various antiquities of the country: cromlechs, pillar stones, raths, ogham monuments, etc. The history of West Cork covers from the Battle of Kinsale to the French arrival at Bantry Bay, and includes information on the main families of the area.
A History of Ireland and Her People by Eleanor Hull
A more in-depth history, well-written and with good objectivity. It covers the History of Ireland from the earliest times until the early part of the 20th century.
The Story of Ireland by A. M. Sullivan, circa 1900.
Sullivan leaves you in doubt to his religious persuasion and political beliefs in this history. The book was published as part of the Atlas and Cyclopedia of Ireland, 1900.
An Illustrated History of Ireland by Margaret Anne Cusack (or Sister Mary Frances, Nun of Kenmare), 1868
Cusack converted to Catholicism and became a nun before eventually reverting back to Protestantism. This history was written whilst she was in the convent and with the zeal of a convert. As with most 19th century histories of Ireland the objectivity of this book can be questioned, but it nevertheless contains plenty interesting information and useful footnotes.
