Sir William O'Kelly Aghrim was Poet Laureat at Vienna when he wrote this history of Ireland, partly in Latin verse, partly in prose. It appears by his ' Ad Lectorem' that he printed and published this first part, intending afterwards to supply a second, which probably he did not live to publish. This very rare book was given to me by my excellent and amiable friend

"This edition of 1492 by Verard appears to be unknown to all the bibliographical books Van Praet was entirely ignorant of it, for in his Catalogue des Livres sur Velin, vol. I. p. 338., he boasts of three copies on Vellum in the Royal Library of

the Verard Edition of 1494, which he calls the second edition, and he quotes the first from Laire's Index, II. 17. as printed at Rouen, 1490. Van Praet here makes two mistakes, for the edition quoted by Laire has no date, tho' Laire suggests that it is circa 1490, and even granting the priority of Laire's Rouen edition, the vellum copies in the Paris Library of Verard 1494 are evidently of the third edition, this copy of 1492 Verard being at least the second, if not the first. A third mistake of Van Praet, is in his stating from the prologue of the book that it was composed in 1467; the prologue says a este premierement commence a escripre' and Van Praet never looked at the last leaf where it is said

1469 le xxII de may fut premierement consumme ce present livre,' by which it plainly appears that the work was begun in 1467 and finished in 1469. The work was printed in the original French, and appeared of very high reputation, very frequently rein an English translation from the Press of Wynkyn de Worde in 1502 and again in 1506. A vellum copy of Verard's Edition of 1494 is in the British Museum. The present rare and perhaps unique Copy of 1492 was given to me by my dear Nephew Hugh Cholmondeley 1837." MS. note.
