Crawford, C.B.E., was good enough to place at my disposal a very detailed account written by himself of the voyage of the _Fanny_, and the log kept by Captain Agnew.

My friend Mr.Thomas Moles, M.P., took full shorthand notes of the proceedings of the Irish Convention and the principal speeches made in it, and he kindly allowed me to use his transcript.

And I should not like to pass over without acknowledgment the help given me on several occasions by Miss Omash, of the Union Defence League, in tracing references.
