Reprint of the original, first published in 1879.

Excerpt from Calendar of Documents, Relating to Ireland, Preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, London, 1285 1292 This our third volume, giving abstracts of the English Public Records relating to Ireland from 1285 to 1292 in elusive, differs in several material respects from either of the two previous volumes. Though of considerably greater bulk than the first, it contains upwards of two thousand articles less than it, and nearly twelve hundred articles less than the second volume. Nevertheless the matter con tained in our present volume is, we venture to think, neither less useful, nor less interesting, nor less important than that in either of the other two volumes. The reason of these peculiarities arises, we believe, from the multi plicity of details in the Irish Exchequer Rolls, of which we have here upwards of thirty-three. In dealing with such a vast and generally unconnected mass of matter it is difiicult to decide where to begin; but perhaps we cannot do better than follow the plan adopted in the two previous volumes, and consider the entries under general heads. We propose to do so in the following order - 1. Accounts; 2. Alienor, the Queen Consort; 3. Appointments; 4. Castles; 5. Chancery.

Excerpt from Calendar of Documents, Relating to Ireland: Preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, London, 1302 1307 For the text of this volume Mr. Sweetman, who had passed the pages through the press, is responsible. He had not, however, completed the index when he had to cease from his labours owing to failing health and eye sight, the latter no doubt aggravated by his zealous efforts to decipher many faded documents and by the arduous task of transcribing the taxation rolls. With reference to these, were he now living, he would doubtless take this Opportunity to thank the many friends who assisted him in endeavouring to identify the names of churches, &c.
