Chapter XXVII: Introduction (21)

Some time ago I received a copy of the 8th Volume of the American
Irish Historical Society’s records. I want at this time to apologize
for not acknowledging receipt of it before. While I have not been
asked by any publishing house to fill a 5-ft. shelf of the best
sellers, I will cheerfully recommend this book to anybody in search of
a liberal education of the Irish chapter in American History. The book
and yourself reflect credit upon one another.
