Samuel Smiles indeed has a boatload to say -- bits of it oddly reminiscent
of Weiss ;-> -- on Huguenots in Ireland, and in his inimitable fashion has
several half-page footnotes that include various clues and pointers worth
looking into.

My usual caveat: Smiles was not a scholar, and he was definitely the leader
of the Society For The Restoration Of Huguenot Descendents' Social Standing,
so take care when reading, and verify everything with other sources.

To avoid larding up people's inboxes, I have PDF'd the relevant sections and
placed the PDF at http://www.demarests.com/documents/smiles_on_ireland.pdf
