Excerpt from The History of Ireland: From the Earliest Account of Time, to the Invasion of the English Under King Henry II

Wnoa vsn attempts to write the history of any nation more especially the antient part, can scarcely expect to escape censure, for many and obvious reasons. Of this I was sufficiently apprized, yet rather chose to rest on the candour of the reader, than relinquish a design to which I had no other motive than an endeavour to obvi ate some groundless calumnies thrown on the antient Irish by partial historians of a sister nation, and to afford the people of Ireland an easy opportunity of consulting the history of their own country. And I dare aflirm that the bulk of my readers will agree, upon the perusal of this small volume, that it contains more narratives of transactions and other facts relative to the affairs of Ire land, than any history of that nation to the invasion of Henry ll. Yet published.
