« "Contemporary History of Affairs in Ireland, " Vol. II, p. 412.
CARLYLE'S life of CROMWELL. 181 enthusiasm, in brutal buffoonery, and in moral turpitude there is not tliroughout English literature a more monstrous and disgraceful produc- tion than the Irish portion of Carlyle's "Life of Cromwell. " Froude, who suppresses all mention of Benburb, in which a purely Irish army contended against English and Scotch, and afterwards, in reference to the battle of the Boyne, a conflict of mingled nati...onalities, affirms that the English always defeated the Irish, also omits the siege of Clonmel. He is thus able to exalt the efficacy of murder by saying that the terrible blows at Drogheda and Wexford virtually ended the war.^ We might imagine that Ludlow was ignorant of Avhat occurred if we had not his own testimony to his vivid knowledge of the truth. Wlien giving an account of the surrender of Limerick, he informs us how Ireton, on account of the blood formerly shed at Clonmel, - twice induced the court-martial to condemn Hugh O'Neill to death, and refrained from executing the sentence only in consequence of the dissatisfaction of some of his officers.
