Transcriber’s Notes:
- A number of obvious typos have been corrected. Except for these corrections, the spelling and punctuation of the book have not been changed.
- In the source book there are 539 footnotes numbered by chapter, so that footnote number 1 is the first footnote in each chapter. In this e-book the footnotes and their markers have been renumbered from 1 to 539 thus giving each footnote a unique marker.
- All the footnotes have been moved to the end of the book.
- The cover image contains a photograph, taken by the transcriber, of the remains of one of the two round towers on the old monastic site of Clonmacnoise on the eastern bank of the River Shannon in County Offaly.
