Excerpt from Ireland and Her People, Vol. 4: A Library of Irish Biography; Together With a Popular History of Ancient and Modern Erin; To Which Is Added an Appendix of Copious Notes and Useful Tables In preparing the present narrative the constant aim has been to present a faithful picture of Irish history, unimpaired by bias or prejudice, and to omit nothing of importance bearing on the subject which would be of general interest. A perusal of the work will, we believe, convince the reader that every period of Erin's history has been treated concisely and thor oughly, and that the narrative has not been inter rupted by extraneous matter or the text burdened by a list of authorities. Copious notes on disputed points and frequent reference to the later and bet ter authorities will be found in the Appendix to Volume V. A systematic plan has been followed throughout, making reference easy, and the search for facts in Irish history, it is believed, more of a pleasure than a task.
