Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Monaghan: From the Earliest Records to the Fenian Movement The following pages are a collection of essays and papers, written from time to time by the Author, under the following circumstances: - In the winter of 1891, the Rev. Father George M'Meel, then Administrator of Monaghan, urged on the members of the Monasjhan Parish Branch of the Irish National Federation, of which he was President, to get up some literary entertainment with which to conclude the meetings, after the usual social and political business had been disposed of. The chapter, "Old Monaghan," in this book, was the first step taken at the branch towards carrying out Father M'Meel's suggestion. Most of the other papers were read at intervals before the Branch, and a few of them have already appeared in the Peoples Advocate and the Weekly Freeman. When many of these pages had been read, the late Most Rev. Dr. Donnelly, Lord Bishop of Clogher, spoke to the writer about the propriety of writing a history of the town of Monaghan.
