Ulick Du Burgh,* marquis of Clanricarde, and earl of St. Alban's, descended from an ancient family of English race. His father was the great Earl of Clanricarde, and his mother daughter of Sir Francis Walsingham, and successively the widow of Sir Philip Sidney, and Robert Devereux, earl of Essex. He was not a man of shining abilities, but of great humanity, courtesy, and generosity, strongly attached to his friends, a true lover of his country, and above all sordid views, or motives of private interest. He adhered to the crown from principle, and had a particular affection for the king's person. He, for some years, attended the court, where he contracted many friendships; and, indeed, few courtiers have been more generally esteemed. The great part which he acted for the king in Ireland, in the civil war, is well known. He appears to have been justly censured for the precipitate peace which he made with the rebels, to whom he yielded too large concessions. He was the author of "Memoirs relative to the Irish Rebellion," which were printed in octavo, 1722, and republished in folio, with the addition of many letters, in 1757. Judge Lindsay has given us a masterly contrast of him, with that of the Duke of Ormond, before this book. As the period of time in which it was written abounded with great events, in some of which the marquis had a deep share, there are anecdotes in it which are interesting and curious. Ob. 1657.
