Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report to the Right Honourable the Master of the Rolls Upon the Carte and Carew Papers: In the Bodleian and Lambeth Libraries Now when it is remembered that for every reign, from the time of Henry VIII., the documents count not by hundreds but by tens of thousands, in various handwritings and many languages, and that the labour of wading through, still more of reading, the contents of such voluminous collections, has hitherto deterred the historian from attempting anything more than a superficial and partial examination of the true materials of history, the importance of a calendar giving sufficient information and abridging useless labour will, we think, be readily admitted. Therefore, though we do not doubt that a Calendar of the Irish Papers in the Carte collection, arranged after the plan adopted in the State Paper Calendars issued under your sanction, would be a great boon to the Irish scholar, and though it is unlikely that the Curators of the Bodleian will, in any catalogue of the Carte Papers they undertake, depart from the rules they have hitherto adopted in their catalogues, yet it appears to us that it would not be desirable, under the circumstances, for the Government to frame a Calendar of the Irish Papers alone in this collection; especially in our present uncertainty as to the course which the Curators of the Bodleian may think fit to adopt. But it appears to us desirable that copies of all official papers in Carte's collection should be made and placed in the several offices in Ireland from which the originals were thoughtlessly and improperly removed by Carte.
