Excerpt from Derry: A Tale of the Revolution of 1688 An impression seems to prevail in some quarters that the work which has now, by the blessing of God, reached the Sixth Edition, is a mere fiction; or at least that the facts relating to the defence of Derry have been greatly exaggerated, under the influence of imagination or of party spirit. This is an erroneous supposition: characters have certainly been introduced, and domestic scenes described, for the purpose of bringing forward the object of all earthly things most dear to the author's heart - that of affording instruction, in their own tongue, to the Irish-speaking aborigines of the land; and also of realising more vividly the sufferings to which individuals were exposed during the period of their wonderful defence of the Protestant fortress; but in every particular where public events are noticed, she has been most scrupulously exact in following the historical records of those days, and now, after having for the first time actually visited the spot, inspected its numerous monuments of the siege, and collected every species of information that could be obtained, she finds but one misstatement to correct throughout the narrative.
