Book Overview

Lachrymae Academicae: Or The Present Deplorable State Of The College Of The Holy And Undivided Trinity, Of Queen Elizabeth, Near Dublin is a book written by Patrick Duigenan in 1777. The book provides a detailed account of the state of Trinity College, Dublin at the time and highlights the various problems that the institution was facing. These problems included financial difficulties, poor management, and a lack of academic standards. The book is written in a critical and often sarcastic tone, with Duigenan using humor to highlight the absurdity of some of the situations he describes. Despite its critical tone, however, the book is also a passionate defense of Trinity College and its importance to the intellectual and cultural life of Ireland. Overall, Lachrymae Academicae is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the state of higher education in Ireland in the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
