Excerpt from The History of the County of Mayo: To the Close of the Sixteenth CenturyIN this first History of the County some errors must be expected, but I trust that they will be found to be very few as to matters of fact. Some Opinions are new, for which general acceptance cannot be expected at once, but it is my hope that such readers as study the evidence for themselves will agree with me, if not wholly, to a great extent.The fulness of the parts dealing with the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, and again of those dealing with the latter half of the sixteenth century, as compared with the part relating to the intervening two hundred years, is due to the want of full English Records after the King ceased to govern in Connaught.Ecclesiastical affairs are passed over lightly, because they have been dealt with already in my Notes on the Dioceses of Tuam and Killala and Achonry, published when I did not expect to finish this history, for which they were prepared.
