Excerpt from The County and City of Cork Remembrancer, or Annals of the County and City of Cork The design of the following work was suggested by former publications of a similar character; in 1783 Mr. J. Fitzgerald published the first Cork Remembrancer in 1792, Mr. A. Edwards published the second the present attempt is the third. E believe our city has furnished the only examples of such compilations. Indeed our predecessors in this path, accompanied their local anecdotes With a general chronicle of the world, which, however, we have rejected from our plan, as being rather inappropriate. Our book is therefore, for the most part, a mere collection of trifling incidents, which occurred in the city and county of Cork but frivolous as the facts detailed, may appear to many, they often present more Vivid images of other times, than grat ci details similar trifies of our own time find their places 1d. The newspapers, and are allowed to be, at least, amusing and although those of other times lose part of then attractions by their remoteness, they yet derive from the same source, an interest of another kind, and may well claim a compiler's labour.
