Excerpt from The Early History of the Town of Birr, or Parsonstown: With the Particulars of Remarkable Events There in More Recent Times, Also the Towns of Nenagh, Roscrea, Banagher, Tullamore, Philipstown, Frankford, Shinrone, Kinnetty and Ballyboy and the Ancient Septs, Princes, and Celebrated Places of the SurroundingIT is with diffidence I introduce this work to the public. The people of Birr and the neighbourhood are aware that neither my father, the late Thomas Lalor Cooke, by Whom the materials were collected, nor I, who arranged and put these materials in their present form, could devote much of our time to such an occupation. In consequence of this, and my father's long illness and death, there has been delay in the publication and it cannot be expected that even now this book could be as perfect in style and finish as if it were the production of an experienced author, whose entire time was passed in literary pursuits.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
