Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Marquess of Ormonde, K. P , Vol. 2: Preserved at Kilkenny Castle; Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty This letter is followed by consecutive transcripts of the letters sent by the Lords Justices and Council to the King, the Lord Lieutenant, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Secretaries of State, the Commissioners for Irish Affairs at Westminster, and other officials; and the volume includes, practically, all letters sent from Ireland by or with the authority of the Irish Privy Council to official persons in England relative to the progress of the Irish Rebellion and the measures taken for its repression down to January 15, 1643-4. The period thus covered is the whole period during which William Parsons and John Borlase, and, later, Borlase and Sir Henry Tichborne, were successively Lords Justices; that is from the outbreak of the rebellion, in October, 1641, to the assumption by the Duke, then Marquess, of Ormond, of the active duties of the Viceroyalty in Jan., 1644. Ormond was appointed on Nov.13, 1648, but was not sworn in until January 21, 1643-4, and the authority of the Lords Justices therefore lasted to the beginning of the latter year. Of the series of letters sent by the Lords Justices and Council, several have been printed in Eushworth sand Nalson sCollections, in Temples and Borlases Histories of the Rebellion, in the collection of State Letters which forms the third volume of Cartes Life of Ormond, and in the more modern collections edited by Sir John Gilbert. But no approach to a complete series of these despatches has ever been printed, nor, inasmuch as the records of the Irish Council were destroyed in the fire at Dublin Castle in 1711, did it seem likely that an authentic consecutive record of the proceedings of the Irish Government in the early days of the rebellion and war in Ireland would ever become available. But the fact that accurate transcripts of these despatches remained in existence after the destruction of the originals was made known by Carte in the preface to his invaluable work; and it is impossible to state the facts as to the authorities for the proceedings of the Irish Government from the outbreak of the Rebellion to Ormonds appointment to the Viceroyalty more lucidly than Carte states them in the following paragraph: - The Council Books of Ireland were burnt in the fire which happened in the castle of Dubhn, and consumed the Council Chamber, in the year 1711.
