Note 56 — PART I The Graces
Reading edition
In Harris’s Fiction Unmasked, pp. 53-60, there is an excellent summary of the pretexts put forward for these plantations. The most important papers relating to the plantation of Leitrim will be found in Desiderata Curiosa Hibernica, II., 52-77. Miss Hickson (Ireland in the Seventeenth Century, II., 276-299) has printed some interesting papers relating to the plantations of Longford and Ely O’Carroll. For an Irish view of the plantations, see David Rothe’s Analecta Sacra.
