Excerpt from The History of the University of Dublin: From Its Foundation to the End of the Eighteenth Century, With an Appendix of Original Documents Which, for the Most Part, Are Preserved in the College The History of the University of Dublin, compiled from the original documents belonging to Trinity College, has hitherto never been written. At the suggestion of Primate Ussher, Bishop Bedell, when Provost, made some efforts towards an account of the foundation of the College, but he failed to procure some of the original letters of Queen Elizabeth and other early documents which he required, and unfortunately the transcripts which he made of Chaloner's papers have been lost. Provost Hutchinson made some progress in collecting materials for a history of the University, but the design was never carried out. Dr. Barrett also collected and copied out a large number of original documents of great interest, and even commenced to write a history, but his researches were confined very much to the condition of the College in the seventeenth century. His papers, which have been written with little regard to order, but which manifest a great amount of research, have been preserved in the Muniment Boom of the College.
