Excerpt from History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, Comprising the Civil History of the Province of Ulster, From the Accession of James the First, Vol. 1: With a Preliminary Sketch of the Progress of the Reformed Religion in Ireland During the Sixteenth Century; And an Appendix, Consisting of Original Papers The reader will observe, in perusing the following pages, that my materials have been collected from various quarters, and from widely ditferent sources. In addition to the ordinary histories of Ireland and Great Britain, and such other historical and bio graphical works as I could obtain, I have made use of several rare pamphlets relating to Irish affairs, which I consulted in that noble institution, the British Museum, and which have enabled me to throw additional light upon the transactions recorded in this volume. To these various publications I have carefully re ferred in the notes, as occasion required. My references might, indeed, have been easily increased, and my array of authorities rendered more imposing; but where the facts stated were gene rally known and uncontroverted, I did not conceive any reference necessary while, out of the numerous works which might have been produced to corroborate the same fact, I preferred referring to that only which appeared to be the original authority.
