Note 142 — Chapter XXX · RINUCCINI TO CROMWELL, 1649

Ormonde’s account is in a letter to the King, August 8, and in one to Lord Byron, September 29, Carte’s Original Letters, ii. 392, 407; and see his answer to the Jamestown prelates, October 2, 1650, in appendix 48 to Cox’s Hibernia Anglicana. Colonel John Moore to Fairfax, August 4, Egerton MSS. 2618, f. 36. Jones’s account, dated August 6, is in Cary’s Memorials of the Civil War, ii. 159; Clarendon’s account is virtually Ormonde’s, Hist. of the Rebellion, Ireland, pp. 77-79; Walsh’s Hist. of the Remonstrance, p. 609; the account given by Bellings, vii. 127, does not differ materially from Clarendon’s. The discipline of Ormonde’s heterogeneous army was probably bad. The author of the Aphorismical Discovery, ii. 102, says the Lord Lieutenant ‘kept rather a mart of wares, a tribunal of pleadings, or a great inn of play, drinking, and pleasure, than a well-ordered camp of soldiers.’ For the topography of the battle I have used Mr. Ellington Ball’s article in the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, vol. xxxii. For the plunder taken see Contemp. Hist. iii. 158, and a version of Jones’s account rather fuller than that given by Cary in Z. Grey’s Examination of Neal, iv. appendix 6. As to the state of the garrison see Two Great Fights in Ireland, London, 1649, and a Bloody Fight at Dublin, July 4.
