Description
Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Donegal and Antrim
I have laid myself under so many debts in this task of compilation that it is impossible to make complete acknow ledgment: yet I cannot omit some mention of Dr. Macdevitt''s excellent volume T fie Donegal For the history I have consulted chie?y the Dz''efz''onmy of National Bz''ograpny, Hill''s Illaea''onne/ls of Anz''rz''in and of course o''curry''s edition of the Annals of Me Four Masters. I owe a more personal debt to my friend who is known as Moira o''neill for her permission to reprint two charming lyrics, and acknowledgments on the same account are due to the editors of the Specialer and Blaeéwaod''s Magazine. But chie?y I have to thank Mr. John Cooke, editor of Murray''s Hand-wok 10 Ireland, first for the assistance afforded to me by that excellent work, and secondly for his great kindness in revising the proof sheets of this book. To my many friends in the North I owe a gratitude which goes back to days long before I ever troubled them about things that I was writing; and I entreat their indulgence for stories maimed in the telling, and for whatever else I may seem to have written amiss in these pages which treat of a country not to be separated from my remembrance of them.
