Book Description
Excerpt from Collections on Irish Church History, Vol. 1: From the Mss, of the Late V. Rev. Laurence F. Renehan, President of Maynooth College In submitting to the public a posthumous work, it is usual to point out the authority under which the Editor acts, the changes he has made in the original papers, the aid, if any, he has received in preparing them for press, and finally, the nature of his design. On each of these heads a few remarks have to be made in this preface. I. The following "Collections" are taken for the most part from the "O'Renehan MSS," bequeathed by the late President of Maynooth, the Very Rev. Laurence F. Renehan, D.D., to the Trustees of Maynooth College, "for the use of the public library of said College." Some time after Dr. Renehan's lamented death, the Editor, at the suggestion of the Rev. Matthew Kelly, D.D, since deceased, applied for permission to publish, on his own responsibility, such portions of these MSS as he may think fit; and the permission on the above terms was kindly granted by the Board at their June meeting, 1858. This volume was put to press immediately after, and was printed down to p. 138, when Dr. Kelly died. Under his care it had progressed thus far, the additional notes, pp. 8, 13, 48, 108, being also written by him; and it is much to be regretted that the whole work was not edited by him, for no man living was more competent to the task, having devoted, or rather sacrificed his life to the study of Irish history. II. The changes made by the Editor it is unnecessary to specify in detail, as they are invariably marked most distinctly by being placed within brackets both in the notes and text.
