Excerpt: ...Righ at Cuil Dreinine, and defeated him, St. Colum Cille praying on their side, and saying, --"Oh, God Why dost thou not ward off the Mist, That we might reckon the number Of the host which has taken judgment from us, A host that marches round a cairn, And a son of storm that betrays us, My Druid--he will not refuse me--is The Son of God;--with us he will act How grandly he bears his course--Baedan's steed--before the host! In A.d. 5C5 is recorded the death (quies) of St. Brenainn of Bir, and a mysterious transaction, for whose explanation we have looked in the notes without any profit. "In this year the Muirgeilt (wild sea woman, mermaid), i.e. Liban, daughter of Achy Mac Muiredha, was caught on the strand of OUarbha in the net of Bedan, son of Iunle, fisherman of Conngall of Bennchair." The quiet historian, sitting in his quiet room in his quiet monastery, adding one piece of information to another, was glad of the visit of any inhabitant of the outer world who could or would furnish him with an interesting fact for insertion. It may be reasonably supposed that the thoughtful but often-credulous annalist would be at times victimized by some ancestor of the Baron Munchausen, who, in absence of any stirring authentic news, would communicate some choice fancy of his own, such as the above, or that of the gigantic woman farther on. The reader must not set chronicles such as this in the same class with the romantic annals, for everything heTe is put down in good faith, the writer being left pretty much at the mercy of his news-imparters. "A.D. 598. The battle of Dun-hJ(Fort of the Sacks, County Wicklow), gained on the fourth of the Ides of-January, by Brandubh (Rlack Raven) aad the Lagenians, in which Aedh, son uf Ainmire, ...

Book Description

Excerpt from The Dublin University Magazine, Vol. 48: A Literary and Political Journal; July to December, 1856 It is scarce] necessary to say that of the twofold, difficulty in question, one part relates to our possessions and rights in Central America, and the other to the attempt made during the late war to procure recruits from amongst the inhabitants of the United States. Upon each of these questions a Blue Book has been published. The controversies, which raged for some time simultaneously, are thus kept separate, though their separa tion in the liamen documents does not so completely isolate them from each other, as not to render a com °son valuable for the purpose of i ustrating the characters of the parties and the real objects they had in view. We propose to take up the Central American question first, both because it arose considerably earlier than the other, and because the lat ter will be dealt with more naturally in connection with the concluding por tion of the present paper.

Excerpt from The Dublin University Magazine, Vol. 12: A Literary and Political Journal; July to December, 1838 Yet, despite the drowsy grumblings of the Norwegian prophetess, we think it would be easy enough to shew both the justice and the expediency of a port mortem jurisdiction in some ia stances; particularly such as this. In the first place, to require us to catch such ephemeral insects as our present batch of culprits alive, would be con demning the hapless and bewildered critic to lay at snap-dragon for his pre an indeed, by this rule, the eel -same unlucky wig t whom we had been brisk enough to whip u the very instant he had chipped the shell, might claim exemption from our knives long before we could whet them for the scarif'ying. Besides, in dealing with this as With any other species of noxi ous vermin, it should be remembered that it is only their accumulation in swarms that renders the nuisance worthy of notice; nor, on the other hand, should it be forgotten that death is far from extinguishing it-the air which the have poisoned continuing rife with the elements of their repro duction.
