FAREELL DOLLARD, PRINTINGHOUSE, DUBLIN. 1891. Price, lUufttrated and Post Paid, Ten Shillings. fool's c& PREFACE. The following pages will, I hope, throw a long-required light on . the history of the most central county in Ireland. I have endeavoured to explain its ancient and modern formation; and no effort of mine has been spared to describe that transition stage when the land of Longford or Annaly passed away from the ancient to the planter owners. At very considerable expense I have secured an accurate copy of the Patent Rolls of James I., showing, as will be found on perusal, who the ancient owners of every townland in Longford County were, and to whom these lands were conveyed by Royal Letters Patent. If the reader is at all of an inquiring turn of mind, it will be very easy for him to fill up the space of two hundred and sixty years with the names of any old families in these townlands, and he lias as accurate an idea as I can give of who are, and who are not, the " old stock " in Longford County to-day. I am aware that many people, from whom better should be expected, have uot hesitated to describe my previous publications on this subject as an attempt to laudato the O'Farrells, as they say, "because I am a Farrell myself." Such an idea can only be harboured by the ignorant.
