70 POSTSCRIPT,
The short account of the Balbirnies which follows hereinafter we have judged it prudent
to bind along with that of the Yances, but as the latter family cannot be expected to take
any interest therein, they need not trouble themselves with its perusal/
The portraits we have placed in front of the latter will not, we hope, be deemed by members
of either family out of place or in bad taste. Such may be very unusual, but our readers
will please bear in mind the production and printing of such a work, not for public but for
family use and reference, is very unusual. No objection we presume can be made to the
portrait of General Jackson, and we hope some of the Coagh Vances will be able to trace
a resemblance to him in some of its members, which we think we can distinctly do.
Cork, 3rd December, 1860.
