As it has not been found possible to reprint the Registry, in these pages, without departing in some degree from the form of the official list as originally published, it will probably be considered desirable that all those points should be distinctly indicated in which the reprint differs in any respect from the original publication. These, then, are the following: Ist. In the original list, the age of each Parish Priest is indicated in words, thus :-" Sixty-five years." I have adopted the more compendious form of using merely figures, thus-65. 2nd. In the column recording the date of ordination, a form somewhat shorter than that of the original has been adopted, in several instances. Thus, in the lists of several counties, the words, "Anno," or "in the Year," or "received Orders in the Year," or "received Orders of Priesthood," are prefixed, in the original, to each entry in the sixth column. I have deemed it unnecessary to reproduce those formal expressions. So also in some cases where the day of the month is mentioned, I have used the more compendious form -4th, 16th, 21st, &c.,-instead of the fuller forms of expression "the fourth," "sixteenth," "one and twentieth," &c.,which are used in the original. 3rd. When the name of the county is entered thus, "in the County of Dublin," I have omitted the words "in the," except in those cases where the county alone is recorded without any more precise reference to the place of ordination. 4th. The following abbreviations of words have been employed :-Archbp. or Abp. for Archbishop, Bp. for Bishop, Tit for Titular, Co. for County. All other abbreviations which occur, are reproduced from the original. 5th. Except in the first and last lists-those of Antrim and Wicklow I have omitted the signature which, in the original, stands in precisely the same form at the end of each of the lists. 6th. In the lists of the Counties of Galway and of Meath, I have omitted the word "Parish" or " Parishes," either of which is in the original subjoined to each entry in the fifth column. No other changes have been made. Considering the official character of the publication with which I had to deal, I have not felt myself at liberty to fill up the occasional blanks, or to correct any of the numerous misprints which occur in it. 7th. In the list of the County of Tipperary, the words Popish Parish Priest of," or "Popish Parish Priest of the Parish (Parishes) of," are prefixed, in the original, to each entry in the fifth column, from 1 to 24 inclusive. In those cases, I have reprinted merely the names of the Parishes in question-in conformity with the mode of entry uniformly observed elsewhere throughout the Registry. W. J. W. There cannot be a second opinion as to the value of the Collection of Documents contained in the twelve volumes of the RECORD which have been published up to this date. But, no doubt, many of your readers must from time to time have experienced the inconvenience of being obliged to devote considerable time to the examination of a number of volumes in order to discover some document of which they were in search, or indeed, to ascertain whether the document in question had been published in the RECORD at all. For my part, I have felt this two-fold inconvenience so strongly, that I have thought it a judicious expenditure of time to devote some spare hours to the compilation of the enclosed List, for which I hope you may be able to make room in your next number. I ought perhaps to state that I have included in it all the Documents which are to be found in the RECORD, not merely those published in an independent form, but also those emibodied in Articles, Answers to Correspondents, and the like. But, of course, in this latter class of cases, I have made reference only to such documents as were published in their integrity, taking no notice of mere extracts. In some cases-indeed in many-I found it difficult to determine whether a particular paper could be fairly regarded as a Document. But in every such instance, I have gone upon the principle of more fully securing the general usefulness of the List, by including in it everything that was not clearly out of place. And as I have revised the entire List repeatedly and with great care, I think I can guarantee that you need not hesitate as regards its publication, from any misgivings as to its completeness. I remain, Rev. and dear Sir, Most faithfully yours, WILLIAM J. WALSH. 552 INDEX TO DOCUMENTS. VOLUME I.
