Dix — IVm. [{earmy, second carUcsi known Dublin Printer. Ml I 



apprentice of Kearney's, or learnt tlio bnwinoss I'mni liini ; Iml aliont liim I 

 hope to treat on a future occasion. 



It is clear that Kearney must iiave printdl a goo<l deal, and tliere were 

 various Proclamations printed for the Government here, Ijut unfortunately so 

 far extant copies have not been found. It is clear also that Kearney must have 

 set up a good portion, if not all, of the New Testament in Irish several years 

 before it appeared. While, tlierefore, it is possilile that either Usher or John 

 O'Kearney or someone else may have been the actual printer of the Catechism 

 and broadside poem in 1571, yet it seems to me possible, even probable, that 

 William Kearney was 'the actual printer; and, therefore, in the absence of 

 clearer and more positive evidence to the contrary, I take him to be the 

 second earliest known printer in Uublin.
