Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of William Hickey, Vol. 2: 1775-1782
Those readers who have expressed a desire for informa tion regarding the history of William Hickey''s ms. May be interested to know that its ownership can be traced for a considerable number of years. It was as far back as 1880 that the ms. Was first shown to the present owner by a very old friend who had received it with other effects on the death of a relative some fifteen years before that date. How this relative became possessed of the ms. Is unknown, but quite possibly he obtained it from Hickey himself. It was given to the present owner by the executors of his friend, so its uninterrupted possession for at all events between fifty and sixty years is well established.
