An Illustrated History of Ireland from AD 400 to 1800

CHAPTER I
17/22

Materials of Ancient Irish History_.
This work was published at the sole cost of the Catholic University of Ireland, and will be an eternal monument of their patriotism and devotion to literature.

A chair of Irish History and Archaeology was also founded at the very commencement of the University; and yet the "Queen's Colleges" are discarding this study, while an English professor in Oxford is warmly advocating its promotion.

Is the value of a chair to be estimated by the number of pupils who surround it, or by the contributions to science of the professor who holds it?
