O'Brien had obtained a B.A. at Trinity College in 1831 and a year later he published his dissertation on the Round Towers of Ireland which he submitted to the Royal Irish Academy for a prize of a gold medal and purse of £50. The award went to George Petrie but O'Brien was awarded a consolation prize of £20. Pages xii - xxxii of this book are reprinted letters from O'Brien to various officers of the Academy to put his case as to why he too should have received a gold medal and £50, not £20. After this translation was published, an event also not without its problems as the manuscript and printed proofs were destroyed by fire in Mr Hardy's printing office in Dublin, O'Brien went back to the subject of the Round Towers and published a book in 1834, in the foreword of which he attacked a blameless Petrie. He died in 1837 aged 27 due, apparently, to his studious nature and poor health.
