§ 40. C. L. Falkiner.


Caesar Litton Falkiner, who had made the Irish land acts a subject of special study, and, in 1898, was appointed an assistant land commissioner, collected and discussed, in studies and essays published before his early death, much original material of Irish history in the eighteenth, and, afterwards, in the seventeenth, century. His seventeenth-century work on the Historical MSS. commission was both voluminous and valuable.   70
