Rome, but it contains the Irish saints alone, omitting altogether the general martyrology. It was from a transcript of the Belgian MS. that Dr. Kelly published in 1857 the calendar alluded to above. III. The _Calendar of Cashel_, which is not now known to exist. According to Colgan, its author flourished about the year 1030. IV. The _Martyrology of Maolmuire_ (or _Marianus_) _O’Gorman_, written in Irish verse, in the times of Gelasius, Archbishop of Armagh, about 1167. Its author was abbot of Knock, near Louth, and the work is taken from the _Felire of Tallaght_, and is not confined to Irish saints. V. _The Book of Hymns_, a portion of which has already been published by the Irish Archaeological and Celtic Society, and of which a second portion is in the press, under the care of Dr. Todd. VI. Poems, such as the _Poem of St. Cuimin of Condeire (Connor)_, of the middle of the seventh century, published by Dr. Kelly, with a translation by Professor O’Curry; the _Naoimhseanchus_, attributed by Colgan to Selbach of the tenth century; the _Poem of St. Moling of Ferns_ (A.D. 675-695), and several minor poems. VII. Several of the great collections or _Bibliothecae_, of which he names expressly the _Book of Lecan_, the _Leabhar na Huidre_, and the _Book of Lismore_. VIII. The lives of saints in Irish and Latin. Of these he quotes no less than thirty-one. From this list it will be seen that almost all the literature of the early Irish Church has helped to enrich the pages of the _Martyrology of Donegal_. And since _norma orandi legem statuit credendi_, we could scarcely find a nobler monument of the faith and practice of our forefathers. The Church that places on her list of saints, bishops, and priests, and abbots, and consecrated virgins, and hermits, possesses in that very calendar a mark deep and broad enough to distinguish her from all the sects that belong to modern Protestantism. II. _Lectures on Modern History, delivered at the Catholic University of Ireland._ By Professor J. B. ROBERTSON; cr. 8vo, p.p. xvi., 528. Dublin: W. B. Kelly, 1864. The lectures included in this volume were delivered in the Catholic University of Ireland, on various occasions, in the years 1860 to 1864, and their purport has been well expressed in the author’s own words. Speaking in reference to all his literary labours, “I devoted”, says Professor Robertson, “my feeble powers to the defence of God and His holy Church against unbelief and misbelief; and of social order and liberty, against the principles of revolution, which are but impiety in a political form”. In these words we have the key-note of the entire work. The “History of Spain in the Eighteenth Century” forms the subject of two lectures. To these is added a supplement of more than fifty pages, in which the late Mr. Buckle’s “Essay on Spain”, contained in his “History of Civilization”, is severely but most deservedly criticised, and, we may add, is refuted by solid and convincing arguments.
