Excerpt from Some Worthies of the Irish Church: Lectures Delivered in the Divinity School of the University of Dublin
I have come now, wrote Dr. Stokes, in the concluding chapter of his anglo-norman to the limits which I have marked out for myself. Were I to go farther I should tread upon the boundaries of the modern history of Ireland. At some other time, if God spares me health and strength, I hope to deal with that subject. It was with the view of fulfilling the purpose here indicated, that so much of his time was Spent, in the closing years of his life, in amassing materials connected with the later history of the Church of which he was a member. The period which seems to have had most attraction for him was the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Had he lived to develop the scheme which he had devised, it appears almost certain that he would have told the story of that period, in the form of a series of biographies; and he often spoke of his intention of printing his lectures on Archbishop King. There can be no doubt that they at least were written with the ultimate purpose of publication.
It has been the reproach of the Irish Church in the past that the mass of its members have had so little knowledge of its chequered history, and have shown so little interest in its story. If that reproach has now been to some extent removed, it is largely due to the unwearied labours of Professor Stokes. There was, indeed, earlier in the present century a distinguished band of scholars who devoted great learning and energy to the investigation of Irish Ecclesiastical History. The names of William Reeves.
