A reprinted extract from Harting’s ‘British Animals Extinct Within Historic Times’, published in 1880.  At that time ‘British’ included ‘Irish’.  See also the description from the book’s rear cover. 

In spite of the book’s age, it is still available from the publisher at £6.55, UK post paid, though this has not stopped one American bookseller asking £82.75 post paid for his copy!!
