Excerpt from The Town Book of the Corporation of Belfast, 1613-1816The only additions are the ornamental capital letters and the woodcuts in the text. All the proofs were corrected by the Editor directly from the Town Book itself, a process which occupied the evenings of many months.The words printed within brackets [] are struck through in the original with a pen, as corrections, and those printed in italics are interlineated in the manuscript. In the Votes the Editor has endeavoured to give fresh information from sources not hitherto accessible, supplementing Benns and other well-known Histories. A Chronological List of Notable Events is prefixed to the work, in which will be found a number of interesting items not previously printed.The Editor has been much encouraged in his labours (carried on in the intervals of professional duties) by the interest taken in the work by numerous friends.
