Eminent historians have written the History of Ireland but it may be matter for surprise that the Irish Gene alogies were never published. This surprise, however, lessens when we re?ect that the distracted state of Ireland in the bitter past, and the passions that have agitated her different sects and parties may have supplied motives for their suppression. Those passions are happily subsiding I therefore trust there is no irregularity in now unveiling the Irish Genealogies.
