ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER.
At the breaking out of the late unfortunate Rebellion it was my intention to note every occurrence of any moment, and at some future day to arrange and publish the same.—some Materials for such a Work I have collected, others I still wait for——Such an Historic record may be found acceptable; when ready it shall be announced to the Public.
The present Publication, now offered to the IRISH NATION, while it enumerates the dangers which awaited every loyal Man, must demonstrate to the deluded Creatures (aiding and abetting) the certain Impossibility of succeeding in any similar attempt.
To those persons who kindly supplied the Letters, &c. for the foregoing pages, I feel particularly indebted, and beg they will accept my grateful thanks. As I intend continuing an account of the other Engagements down to the French Invasion and their defeat at Ballinamuck, Gentlemen who have been in the different Battles which are not yet come to hand, are invited to forward an account of them as soon as possible previous to the completion of the second part of this NARRATIVE.
With respect,
I am the Reader's
Obliged Servant,
