Excerpt from The End of the Irish Parliament Thanks to the invaluable labours of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, a great number of the most important documents relating to the Parliamentary history of Ireland during the last thirty years of the eighteenth century - the period covered by this book - are now readily accessible to the student. The Dropmore Papers, the Carlisle Papers, the Rutland Papers, and the Charlemont Papers, together with the first four volumes of the Life and Letters of Lord Castlereagh and the Correspondence of Lord Charlemont and Lord Cornwallis, cover the greater part of the ground and furnish original authority for the events of successive Viceroyalties, especially from Temple to Cornwallis.
