Subject(s): Summary: Printed and manuscript newspapers were imported into Ireland from England as early as the 17th century, and these were soon used as copy by the Dublin printers for Irish newspapers. While most of the Irish titles from the 18th century have not survived, the 'echoes' of Irish news items that were carried into English titles are available. This booklet will hopefully assist local historians in researching newly available aspects of Roscommon's history
