Excerpt from Irish Antiquarian Researches, Vol. 1 The best Irish History is but a meagre detail of events, chie y military, gathered from chro-f nicles, and preceding historians, in which errors, mistranslations, and absurdities are recapitulated and perpetuated, leaving the mines and quarries of truth, the original records of the country, and the interesting remains, which demonstrate the accuracy or falsehood of legendary history, almost entirely unexplored.
