Note 175 — Chapter XXXII · CROMWELL IN IRELAND, 1650

Authorities as for last paragraph; Aphorismical Discovery, p. 616; Dillingham to Sancroft in Cary’s Memorials of the Civil War, ii. 217. The articles of surrender are printed in Murphy’s Cromwell in Ireland, p. 341, with the date May 18, but the letter in Whitelock (456) says May 10. Certainty is unattainable, but Cromwell’s battery was probably near the railway station on the slope of Gallows Hill. Since the above was written I have read the account of this siege in Rev. W. S. Burke’s Hist. of Clonmel, 1907, but have not thought it necessary to alter the text.
