The State Letters Of Henry Earl Of Clarendon V2

The collection offers a detailed look into the political landscape of late 17th-century Ireland through the correspondence of Henry Hyde, the Lord Lieutenant during King James II's reign. It addresses key events such as the Irish rebellion of 1689, the Battle of the Boyne, and the Siege of Limerick. This two-volume set also includes Hyde's diary from 1687-1690 and supplementary materials from Archbishop Sancroft's manuscripts. Originally published in 1765, it serves as a significant resource for historians and those interested in Irish history.
