Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Diocese of Down and Connor, Vol. 2: Ancient and Modern

In presenting to the public the Second Volume, the writer feels called on to offer an apology to his readers for the delay which has intervened since the publication of his first Volume. That delay has been inconvenient, but it was unavoidable. To a Parish Priest, the collecting and arranging of historical and antiquarian papers, must necessarily be the employment of only the odd half hours which he can snatch from clerical duties. The reader will observe that throughout these volumes I have attempted to collect the principal historical incidents connected with each parish, and that I strove to recall the names and acts of the men, who in the past, did in that locality anything memorable. The transfer of the land from one proprietor to another, too frequently effected by violent means, necessarily came within my programme. Even the historical tales connected with a particular locality were, in my opinion, of too much topographical interest to be entirely omitted. Many of these old household tales, common to the whole Aryan or Japhetic race, and told by their firesides in the infancy of the human family, were afterwards moulded into their present form by some local bard to please a generous patron. They gladdened the social gatherings of the old clansmen, who once occupied the lands we now cultivate, and they ought therefore to have for us an interest. The Rath, the Dun, the Cromleach, and the Ruined Castle, have each been noticed, because I was writing for many who would not have other antiquarian works to consult. So far I have striven to supply my readers, whether they be Catholics or Protestants, with an information which they should possess; while the history of their churches, the succession of their pastors, and the privations which their ancestors patiently submitted to, in order that they might hand down to us their ancient faith, must have for my Catholic readers an interest which they alone can feel. Perhaps they may have expected from me what I cannot give - a detailed account of each parish and of its churches and its priests.
