Excerpt from The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places
An addition of knowledge On Holy Ireland: - These were the first words of Gilla-na-Neeve O"Heeren, when he undertook to complete the description of Ireland, which his predecessor, John O"Dugan, had left unfinished; and they form a very suitable motto for the book 1 now offer to the notice of the public. For this book completes the work that was only half accomplished by the first series of "The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places."
When I first took in hand to write a book on Irish Local Names, I thought I could grasp the whole subject in a single volume; and in the attempt to do so, I compressed as much matter into the First Series as any readable book of the size could conveniently hold.
