It deals entirely with the province of Munster, and embraces a period of three years. It commences with the joint entrance of Lord Monntjoy upon the Viceroyalty of Ireland and Sir George Carew upon the Presidency of Munster in 1600, and ends with the suppression in 1603 of the Munster insurrection, which was caused by the landing of the Spaniards at Kinsale. "But its atmosphere," as its latest editor says, "unlike that of any modern book treating of the times, is the atmosphere of the age ; in every sentence we breathe the air of the six- teenth century ; we are in the presence of actualities, face to face with real and actual men, can almost hear them speak, and feel around us the play of the passions and the working of ideas and purposes so characteristic of that age, so foreign to our own. Such an experience must bring enlightenment. Pacata Hibernia, once well read, is certain to produce a lasting effect upon the mind of the reader. The book deals with the stormy conclusion of a stormy century, the lurid sunset of one of the wildest epochs in our history." Besides, the recent revelations of the State Papers give a fresh importance to such old histories as this. Mr. Standish O'Grady brings to the editing of the narrative knowledge based on these Papers and on other researches. The results of his work are to be found in very full and elucidatory notes and in a preface, which, although here and there floridly eloquent, is an important contribution to Irish history. Mr. O'Grady is too confident, perhaps, that Thomas Stafford, who gave himself forth as but the editor of Pacata Hibernia, was also its author.
