Smith, Charles. The antient and present state of the county and city of Waterford. Dublin: A. Reilly, 1746
The Antient And Present State of The County And City Of Waterford by Charles Smith (1715-1762) was published in 1746 and is among the first significant histories of the region. Charles Smith aimed to produce a series covering every county in Ireland with fellow historian Walter Harris but the society funding the ambitious project folded in the 1730s. The work covers the history of Waterford from prehistoric times until the mid 18th century.

W. B. Yeats, The Tower, London: McMillan And Co. Ltd., 1928
The Tower by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was first published in 1928 . It contains many of the poet's best known poems such as The Tower, Sailing To Byzantium, Leda And The Swan and Among School Children as just a sample. The themes of the poems in the collection dwell on the elderly poet's angst about the decline of old age, his creative drive, missed romantic opportunities and nationalist disillusionment following Irish Independence.
