Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records Relating to the Dioceses of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise At the suggestion of my venerated Bishop, the Right Rev. Dr. Woodlock, I commenced the collection of these records, with the view of rescuing from oblivion the names and actions of those prelates who, in their days, ruled over these ancient dioceses, pleased God, and were found just. Such a suggestion should have for me the force of a command. Besides, it is fitting that the history of our Bishops should be known, and their names held in benediction amongst us, from generation to generation. St. Paul has commanded us to remember our "prelates." I, therefore, entered upon this work with a willing and earnest spirit. The field of inquiry I soon found to be vast - much neglected, and scattered over with ruins and few inscriptions upon them. Some portions of that field I found almost barren and waste, without remain or trace of cultivation of any kind. Other parts were, indeed, strewn with fallen fruits; but being huddled together in such heaps of disorder and negligence, as rendered it very difficult to collect much that is palatable and digestible for cultivated and refined appetites; thus the prospect generally, presented a dismal and disheartening coup-d´æil. Happily, there were here and there bits and corners in very good order, upon which evidently the care and attention of highly skilled and accomplished labourers had been employed; and these cheered me on when I was tempted to abandon the work for want of continuity of materials.
