ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL. PKEFACE, SOME writers seem to think they should epitomize their entire works in their preface; others seem to think they ought to strip themselves of every good quality and attribute they possess, in order to approach, in all humbleness and humility, the great public; whilst others are meaner still they mortify themselves, and absolutely do penance for sins they never committed, in order to induce that many-headed tyrant to throw them a kind word. Our design in writing the fol- lowing pages was to bring together various materials belonging to, and connected with, the rise and progress of Bandon from its earliest infancy, without heeding whether the narration of a fact exposed the faults or offended the prejudices of any person or of any party.

There is no subject read by so many different lights as history. The blood-thirsty tyrant in one man's eyes, is but a strong-minded prince in those of another.
The policy which induced the king of a neighboring state to decoy tens of thousands of his most industrious subjects to his capital, and then murder them in cold blood, was as vehemently applauded by one class of readers as it was as vehemently abhorred by another. Ages, also, like individuals, often read the same fact differently. When Charles I. Outraged every liberty and every feeling of his people, indignant England, no longer able to withstand his treachery and his tyranny, struck off that insincere monarch's head. The monarchists of that age absolutely recorded an invocation in our prayer- book, in which they commended 'his meekness, patience, and great charity,' and implored the Almighty, 'that our land may be freed from the vengeance of his righteous blood; ' yet there is no monarchist in this age has even ventured to reprehend the good sense which swept this absurdity from our devotions.
It is the same on the all-important subject of religion. Opinions still vary as widely on points of doctrine, and even in the interpretation of the divine commands, as they did formerly on the subject of passive obedience, the divine right of kings, and similar theories long since passed away. Even that church herself, which glories in her infallibility, and long before she was rent with schism, pronounced that to be orthodox in ono century which she denounced as heterodox in another.
