Excerpt from Lectures on Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Origin and Progress of the English Reformation From Wickliffe, to the Great Rebellion, Delivered in the University of Dublin
The following Lectures are published in compliance with a very general desire, often and in various ways expressed during the entire interval that has elapsed since they were delivered. The reasons why the Bishop did not print them himself will be found sufliciently explained in the Memoir prefixed. They are now printed substantially as they were written. In the very few instances in which it was found necessary to make any change beyond the mere correction of clerical errors, or to supply anything not from his own hand, the words substituted or matter added will be found enclosed in brackets.
