Excerpt from History of the Viceroys of Ireland

From the number of works styled "Irish histories, " published in the present century, it might be supposed that little remained to be told of the Viceroys, or representatives of the Kings of England in Ireland. the authors of such compilations, however, relied upon the statements of those who had preceded them, in the same path, and neither examined primary Irish sources, nor consulted the archives of England and Ireland, which form a main and authentic basis for Anglo-Irish history. Thus, hitherto, there has not been published even an accurate Catalogue of the Viceroys of Ireland.
