Excerpt from Historical and Literary Memorials of Presbyterianism in Ireland: 1623-1731 Notwithstanding all the care which has been spent on the preparation of this work, the Author cannot say that he is satisfied. Though he has done all in his power to collect information, the book must appear to his readers, as it appears to himself, defective in execution and often meagre in details. But had he waited till he could make it perfect, it would never have been printed. It is now given to the public, in the hope that it may interest those who wish to know our Presbyterian history, and that it may help to bring to light some additional facts, not yet known to the writer, but which may serve to enrich some subsequent edition. Most of the gentlemen, to whom the Author has been indebted for assistance less or more in gathering the material, are named in the notes; but there are two entitled to special recognition and thanks. The first is the Rev. Dr. Killen of Belfast, who, either from the library of the Belfast Presbyterian College, or from his own private library, most kindly gave the use of every pamphlet marked with the letters "A. C. B."
