speaks of him thus:-"In our notes we have had before our eyes almost all the works of James Ussher, of Dublin, whose very name is the highest praise; but especially his Antiquities of the British Churches, and Collection of Ancient Letters. Bollandus and his associates speak of him in these terms:- Ussher's works in the Latin language, on the Antiquities of the British Churches, written with much learning and modesty, are often cited by Colgan with commendation. With ourselves too, they have been deservedly precious.' And to notice only one other such tribute from his adversaries, the late eminent titular bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, Dr. Doyle, speaking of Lanigan's Church History, pronounces it to be "a work, which for extensive knowledge, deep research, and accurate criticism, surpasses, in his opinion, all that has ever been produced by the Established Church, collectively or individually in Ireland, Ussher's labours only excepted." [See "A Defence by J. K. L. of his vindication of the religious and civil principles of the Irish [R.] Catholics.
