Leinster. —In this article, and in succeeding notes, will be given
the history and topography of Leinster. At A. D. 1363, in these
annals, have beenshewn the ancient divisions of Ireland into five
provinces or kingdoms, and the boundaries of each. The ancient
kindom of Leinster comprised the present counties of Wexford,
Wicklow, Carlow, and Queen's county, the greater part of Kil placed ancient Leinster, according our old annalists and to
pographers.
kenny, King's county, and Kildare, and that part of Dublin
south of the river Liffey. Parts of Kilkenny, bordering on Tip
perary, and the southern parts of the King's county, belonged to
ancient Munster, and some of the northern part of the King's
county belonged to the province of Meath. The above-named ter
ritories continued to be the limits of Leinster down to the reign of
Elizabeth, as may be seen in Spenser's View of Ireland, but in
after times the old kingdom of Meath was added to Leinster, and
also the county of Louth, which was part of the ancient king named Slainge, the son Dela, place called after him, In dom of Ulster.

Leinster. —In this article, and in succeeding notes, will be given
the history and topography of Leinster. At A. D. 1363, in these
annals, have beenshewn the ancient divisions of Ireland into five
provinces or kingdoms, and the boundaries of each. The ancient
kindom of Leinster comprised the present counties of Wexford,
Wicklow, Carlow, and Queen's county, the greater part of Kil placed ancient Leinster, according our old annalists and to
pographers.
kenny, King's county, and Kildare, and that part of Dublin
south of the river Liffey. Parts of Kilkenny, bordering on Tip
perary, and the southern parts of the King's county, belonged to
ancient Munster, and some of the northern part of the King's
county belonged to the province of Meath. The above-named ter
ritories continued to be the limits of Leinster down to the reign of
Elizabeth, as may be seen in Spenser's View of Ireland, but in
after times the old kingdom of Meath was added to Leinster, and
also the county of Louth, which was part of the ancient king named Slainge, the son Dela, place called after him, In dom of Ulster.
