Digitized by CjOOQ iC 134 WILLIAM EDWARD HARTPOLE LECKY (To Mr. Booth.) Athenceum: May 22, 1877. — 'I have been a good deal overtasked by proofnsheets. I am now in my second volume and very near my Irish chapters, which are the most difficult part, as hardly any part of Irish history has been tolerably written, and one has to gather one's materials very much at firot hand and from an immense mass of contradic- tions.' (To the Same.) Nimkgue: July 12, 1877. — ' I have been busy
... revising my "Methodists," which I am happy to say I have found not a difficult task. I am afraid I shall have to run over to Ireland for a few days in September to verify some of Froude's refer- ences. It is a great bore to me that my new book will lead to a personal quarrel, and the length of the Irish part (about 330 pages in a book of about 1200) is very disproportionately great; but I cannot help it, and want, at any literary sacrifice, to put on record, once for all, what I believe to be the true version of the facts of this part of Irish history.' Students of the 'History' cannot fail to realise the immense trouble Lecky took to disentangle the truth in every detail of the subject he was dealing with, never slurring over any difficulty, sparing no pains in sifting the original sources and bringing to bear on all matters his judicial impartiality.
