_The Wanderings of Usheen._--The poem is founded upon the middle Irish dialogues of S. Patric and Usheen and a certain Gaelic poem of the last century. The events it describes, like the events in most of the poems in this volume, are supposed to have taken place rather in the indefinite period, made up of many periods, described by the folk-tales, than in any particular century; it therefore, like the later Fenian stories themselves, mixes much that is mediæval with much that is ancient. The Gaelic poems do not make Usheen go to more than one island, but a story in _Silva Gadelica_ describes "four paradises," an island to the north, an island to the west, an island to the south, and Adam's paradise in the east. _Printed in Great Britain by_ UNWIN BROTHERS, LIMITED WOKING AND LONDON Transcriber's Notes: Page 16: 'thictkes' changed to 'thickets' Page 172: 'He brings in' could be 'She brings in' Page 263: 'Before this duy' changed to 'Before this day' Page 290: 'Far from the hazel and oak.' changed to 'Far from the hazel and oak,' Page 295: 'move far off' could be 'move far oft'
