Excerpt from The Beginnings of Modern Ireland Of the materials upon Which the ensuing narrative is based, a considerable part exist only in manuscript; While most of the remainder are contained in books which, being bulky, expensive, and, in many cases, out of print, are seldom found outside a large public library. For this reason I have thought it desirable to insert in my narrative numerous and lengthy extracts from official and other contemporary documents.
