Old Flaherty.— Roderick O Flaherty, the learned Author of the Ogygia and History of West Connaught, edited by James Hardiman, Esq., for the Irish Archaeological Society. Here we incidentally discover the state of misery to which this venerable man was reduced in his old age, after the confiscation of his ancient and ample inheritance. For a biographical notice of this learned individual, see the genealogical and historical Account of the O Flahertys, compiled from original documents, in Appendix II. to History of West Connaught, p. 362.
