Excerpt from The History of Ulster, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day
It will be seen by the most casual reader that we have not yet reached the solid ground of facts, but there may be some substratum of truth in the story of the Milesian settlement, for many leading Irish Chieftains claimed descent from the Milesians, and if lists of names are evidence we have it in the records Of over a hundred kings of Ireland. The chroniclers of this period seem to have revelled in making collections of names and pedigrees, and if these contain but a modicum of truth, they at least bear testimony to the industry and zeal of the compilers, as well as to the wonderful wealth of materials from which they drew.
