The tribute took the form of the following preamble and resolution: PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTION OF THANKS AND APPRECIATION FROM THE AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY. At the annual meeting of the American-Irish Historical Society, held in Boston, Mass., on the evening of January 24, 1907, the following minute was unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, The American-Irish Historical Society has learned of the excellent work of our distinguished fellow-member, the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, as embodied in his article on “The Ancient Irish Sagas,” recently published, and believing that some appropriate action should be taken to show our appreciation of the study and research exhibited in the able contribution mentioned, it is _Resolved_, therefore, that in the opinion of this Society a splendid example is set by President Roosevelt in finding the time and opportunity, in the midst of his many duties and responsibilities, to devote attention to a subject dear to us. We heartily congratulate him upon the results he has so ably exemplified and set forth as the outcome of his researches into early Irish history.[1] Footnote 1: A copy of the foregoing preamble and resolution was forwarded to President Roosevelt and the Society received a cordial reply.
