Ebook A History of Presbyterianism in Dublin and the South and West of Ireland

The history of the Irish Presbyterian Church, in its successive stages, has been already well told by such historians as Adair, Reid, Killen, Witherow, and Hamilton. In the present work the writer has confined himself mainly to the history of Presbyterianism in Dublin and the South and West. He hopes that he has succeeded in putting in permanent form some facts regarding Presbyterianism outside Ulster which hitherto were not generally known.

The materials for the following pages were compiled in the spare hours of a busy pastorate. But they have not been hastily put together. No statement has been taken at second-hand where it was possible to consult original sources of information. Even so, it is possible that there are many mistakes. Should any such be discovered, the writer will be glad to be informed of them.
