Extract

With the permission of your Lordship I am about to address to you a short and concluding continuation of some Papers which were read in the season of 1850-1, containing hitherto unnoticed materials for a Memoir of Sir Walter Raleigh. Those materials were derived from various sources, public and private, and brought the history of one of the founders of our Society—a man of great learning, multifarious talents, and energetic and enterprising spirit—down to the year 1598; when I showed, I believe for the first time, that he was employed against the rebels in Ireland, and had offered a price for the head of Tyrone.
