Lawlok — A Calendar of the Liber Niger and Liber Albus. 5 



In the work of constructing a calendar of this book, much assistance has 

 been derived from a table of contents written on the blank pages at the end 

 of the volume by the elder Anthony Dopping during his brief tenure of the 

 Bishopric of Kildare (1679-1681), and printed in the Second Eeport of the 

 Irish Eecord Commission, supplement, p. 308. 



It only remains to place on record the writer's gratitude for help so often 

 and so kindly given by H. F. Berry, Esq., Litt. I)., i.s.o., and M. J. M'Enery, 

 Esq., in deciphering difficult passages, and by several friends in identifying 

 obscure place-names.
