This is an 1880 book, The Apparitions and Miracles at Knock, prepared and edited by John MacPhilpin of Tuam and published in Dublin by M. H. Gill and Son. The Internet Archive holds a Google scan of the Harvard College Library copy.

It argues that natural light could not have caused the apparition and lists cures recorded in Archdeacon Cavanagh's diary.
