Its original design was to bring into public notice scarce and inedited tracts relating to Ireland. After the publication of a few numbers on this plan, it lay dormant till the year 1781, when it was revived, chiefly at the instigation of the late Rt. Hon. W. Burton Conyngham, who then instituted a Society for the investigation of Irish antiquities. Some differences arising concerning colonization and etymology, the Society dissolved; and the author of the Collectanea, with some trifling assistance from Mr. O'Conor of Balinagare, carried on the work nearly to the close of his life, but with a material deviation from the original design; for the latter numbers consist wholly of original disquisitions." -Sir Robert Peel's Catalogue called Biblio theea Hibernicana.
