Thomas Percy, 1729-1811, Bishop of Dromore, was the author of these translations, concerning which he writes in the Preface: “It would
be as vain to deny, as it is perhaps impolitic to mention, that this attempt is owing to the success of the Erse fragments.
It is by no means for the interest of this little work, to have it brought into a comparison with those beautiful pieces,
after which it must appear to the greatest disadvantage.” On the back of the title-leaf is the statement: “N.B. This little
tract was drawn up for the press in the year 1761: but the publication has been delayed by an accident.”
