THE WHOLE WORKS OF THE MOST REV. JAMES USSHER, D.D. LORD ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH, AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND. VOLUME XVI. 1 6/6 3/250 In this volume the collection of letters published by Dr. Parr is concluded. Dr. Parr states that letter CCXXI. is from the Right Hon. Dudley Loftus, Lord Chancellor of Ireland; but this is certainly a mistake. Dudley Loftus was the son of Sir Adam Loftus, and great grandson of the Archbishop of Dublin: he was a very distinguished Oriental scholar, and after the Restoration was appointed Judge of the Prerogative Court in Ireland. The first volume of letters had been printed when Dr. Bandinel found in the Bodleian Library (Rawlins MSS.Letters, No. 89) a collection of letters to and from Archbishop Ussher, and with his usual kindness transmitted copies of them to me. It was impossible to arrange them in their chronological order, as some were among the earliest written by the Archbishop, and, therefore, I put them in an Appendix. Subsequently the volume was discovered at Shotover, from which Dr. Parr had taken away most of the letters. The remnant of the volume was kindly given to Trinity College, Dublin, by George V. Drury, Esq., the present possessor, as I have already mentioned in the Life of Archbishop Ussher. The few letters which remained are published in the latter part of the Appendix, commencing with Letter 425.
