Excerpt from A Short History of the Irish People, Down to the Date of the Plantation of Ulster Having been asked by the widow of my lamented friend, Dr. A. G. Richey, to edit for publication a new Edition of his Lec tures on Irish History, I gladly accepted the task as a tribute to the memory of one who, as truly said in the Edinburgh Review for April, 1886, p. 437, saw his way through the complexities of Ancient and Modern Celtic life with a discernment almost intuitive in its appreciation of facts, while his scrupulous love of truth was only equalled by his pity for the long darkness of human misrule, which made him say, The study of Irish history teaches us sympathies with all parties. That this description is true his writings show, but how true can only be known by those who have had, as I have had, long friendship and intimate association with him. Dr. Richey's Lectures were published in two volumes. The first, published in 1869, under the title of Lectures on the History of Ireland down to 1534, consisted of eight Lectures delivered to the pupils of the Alexandra College, Dublin, in 1869. The second, published in 1870, under the title of Lectures on the History of Ireland, from ad. 1534 to the date of the Plantation of Ulster, consisted of ten Lectures delivered in Trinity College, Dublin, ln Hilary Term, 1870, in continuation of the previous series.
