PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY,

1904.

AN INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

The present is the fourth volume of the Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society. This volume, like each of those preceding it, is complete in itself. It contains a record of the organization since the third volume of the Journal was issued, and presents a large amount of additional material within our line of work. The Society continues to maintain the high standard established by its founders, and is doing a great amount of good in its chosen field. The organization has already secured a place in the front rank of American historical societies, and enjoys the most cordial relations with organizations long established.
