History Studies: University of Limerick History Society Journal Vol (3)

peer-reviewedThe publication of History Studies volume 3 marks the beginning of a new period. The involvement of founder-editors David A. Fleming and Edward Horgan has come to an end. Both have done a magnificent job in establishing History Studies. On behalf of the History Societv of the University of Limerick we, the new editor, thank David and Edward for their work, They have made it easy for us to continue and expand History Studies. The variety and quality of topics tackled by the authors, shows that the study of history is alive and well in Ireland at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The articles presented here deal with a variety of issues such as education, medical history, and the First World War. This gives hope for future volumes of History Studies in which we plan to broaden the range of topics even further. We hope that readers will gain as much pleasure from reading the articles as we did editing them, Andreas Hüther Sarah Powe
