Pádraig Mag Fhloinn (Pat Glynn), Irish scribe, fl. 1828-1835.

Pat Glynn most respectfully begs leave to inform the public, particularly those who are admirers of ancient Irish literature that he will shortly publish a copious English Irish Dictionary in which will be found upwards of 100,000 words which have never been published in any dictonary of our vernacular Language.
