Reading edition

Chas. E. Lewis, Q.C. (C.) 1824. Justin McCarthy (P.) 1795.

To the black North, to Derry fair, a great “Historian” came, Backed by the strength of all his clan, by Parnell’s mighty name, His was the task, by wiles or force, to wrest the Virgin Crown From the proud city by the Foyle, of siege’s great renown. In vain the Separatist force, for naught their trumpets blown, Derry has shown that she prefers a “history” of her own! Coblentz, December 1885.
