* Lectures delivered in the University of Dublin where, in the author's opinion, circumstances required a more detailed and precise historical work than that of Blackstone. Sullivan employed "an historical method... more entertaining to Beginners, and better adapted to shew the Reasons for the original law, and its several subsequent alterations." (Preface).
