Excerpt from Ireland Under the Normans, Vol. 1 The object I had in view in the preparation of this work was, primarily, to* give a more adequate as well as a more accurate account of the anglo-norman invasion of Ireland, and of the settlement consequent thereon, than had hitherto been published; while it was my expectation that -a closer study. Of the period would enable a more just estimate to be formed of the influence for good or for evil of the domination of the new people. A beginning would thus have been made towards filling up the gap in Irish history to which allusion has been made. In the course of my study of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries (which has been spread over many years) I have not only had occasion to correct many misstatements of fact which have passed current, unquestioned, from writer to writer, but I have been led to regard the domination of the English Crown and of its ministers in Ireland, during the thirteenth cen tury, and indeed up to the invasion of Edward Bruce in the year 1315, as having been much more complete than has been generally recog nized, and to thinkthat due credit has not been given to the new rulers for creating the com parative peace and order and the manifest progress and prosperity that Ireland enjoyed.
