The antiquary and artist George Petrie (1790–1866) was one of the founding fathers of Irish archaeology. His wide interests included architecture and ecclesiastical history, and he was at the forefront of efforts to preserve endangered historic buildings. This 1868 biography was published by his friend William Stokes, the distinguished physician.
