The opening Volume of the Fourth Series of our Journal is herewith brought to a conclusion and, in the variety and value of its papers, it will be found to be not unworthy of its predecessors. To Sir William R. Wilde, whose loss to Irish Archaeology we can hardly hope to see filled, our Members were indebted for the graphic notices of Gabriel Beranger's labours in the cause of our country's art, literature, and antiquities. In these papers will be found very interesting delineations of men, in aimers, and places in Ireland a century ago.
We would bespeak particular notice for " Irish Art in Bavaria," a contribution from the facile pen of Miss Stokes. Mr. O'Beirne Crowe has translated for us two curious Bardic Legends from the Lebor na li Uidre, a manuscript of great antiquity, which is preserved in the library of the Royal Irish Academy. These wild myths (1, The drowning of Eochad in Lough Neagh ; and 2, The Demoniac Chariot of Cu Chulaind) are sufficiently stirring even for the readers of modern sensational romance.
