The pages of the original publication are reproduced in PDF and it is recommended that you use … Full Screen Mode. …… I found it easy to move into this mode. There is no doubt that the functions work well, taking you back and forth to the main index, and helping you zoom in and out when you want to read small print. Dublin research can be challenging, so it is always good news when a helpful resource such as this one become widely available at a reasonable cost.
