To
HIS EXCELLENCY
THE EARL OF CARLISLE, K. G.,
VICEROY OF IRELAND,
ETC. ETC. ETC.
My Lord,
The scenes and characters which i have endeavoured to depict in these volumes will be necessarily new and strange to you; but if they excite interest in the native annals of a country of which i find but little real knowledge existing, the object of the work will have been attained; while, by the kind courtesy which permits me to dedicate it to you, your excellency confers upon me a very sincere gratification.
I have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's very faithful servant,
MEADOWS TAYLOR.
Old Court,
Harold's Cross, near Dublin,
August, 1863.
