His eyesight had begun to fail him, the formation of a cataract having been felt with great inconvenience.

He had not read more than one quarter of his speech when this complication was discovered, and he was unable to find the missing sheets.

The opportunity had come for gratifying its desire, and at the same time bringing it under the Irish ecclesiastical regime. The pall at once separated it from Canterbury and united it with Ireland. It was the price paid for its submission to the Primacy of Armagh. Gregory therefore became archbishop of Dublin, and had the right—which his predecessor ...
