APPENDIX

No. I.

A letter to Col. Newenham from a Roman Catholic Clergyman

of the Diocese of Cork; namely the Rev. Doctor Walsh, who rece

ntly died in the 44th year of his age, an illuftrious example of

evangelical zeal, purity and edification, and literally a victim to

the exceffive weight and labour of his parochial duties.

No. II.

Resolutions of the Roman Catholic Prelates in 1799.
