Elsewhere, a brief description of "the nature of the irish, who are cal'd naturall Irishe, out of Campion's History" is annotated, "This being a booke of Commmon place this comes not out of order." The volume begins with a letter addressed to the author's son, in which the author describes the contents of this manuscript as "the fruits of my solitude whilst under restraint" as a royalist prisoner at Exeter, ca. 1651-53.
