Footnote:

The Irish politician Sir Lucius Henry O'Brien, third Baronet (1733-1795) was the eldest son of Sir Edward O'Brien, who represented County Clare in the Irish House of Commons for thirty years. He campaigned on issues such as removing restrictions on trade with England and asserting Irish legislative independence, the third volume covers the years 1723 to 1738 and not to 1732 as given on the title page. The three volumes run to over 1700 pages and are indexed. The volumes' intricate details point to a dedicated politician, possibly preparing for his entry into Politics - as the volumes contents pre-date his ascendance to Parliament.
