Plantation of Ireland e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

But the tracings of the picture, as graphically sketched by its able and accomplished author, may probably be found to have been in some respects a little too darkly drawn.
