(Collti1lued from page 18) Yet another famous historian from Laoighis was \Valter Harris, born at Uountmellick in 1686. He too, was a Trinity College man. In 1753 he married a great-grand-daughter of Sir James Ware, the writer, and thus became possessed of a great number of ancient manuscripts. 1\1any of these he translated and expanded. His greatest translations are " Annal ," "\Vriters and Bishops." His o\yn original \I'orks were "Life and Reign of Wil1iam Ill," published in 17-13, and "Hi'tory of Dublin," Jlublished posthumously in 176G. His death took place in 1761 and his manuscripts arc preserved 111 Armagh and in the ~ational Library, Dublin.
