Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Literary and Musical Studies The Irish Literary and Musical Studies contained in this volume consist of revised versions of lectures delivered from time to time before the Irish Literary Society of London, the Royal Literary Society, the National Literary Society of Dublin, the National Eisteddfod at Carnarvon, the students of Alexandra College, Dublin, and the Belfast Philosophical Society; also of revised versions of articles and reviews in The Contemporary Review ("Celtic Nature Poetry"), The Dublin Review ("Early Irish Religious Poetry" and "The Preternatural in Early Irish Poetry"), The Cornhill Magazine("Tennyson in Ireland" and "James Clarence Mangan"), The Spectator ("The English Spoken in Ireland," "The Religious Songs of Connacht," "An Irish Wonder Book" and "Edward Bunting"), and A Treasury of Irish Literature in the English Tongue ("Sir Samuel Ferguson"), published by Smith, Elder and Co., to whose editors and publishers I gratefully acknowledge permission to republish them. My original verse translations from the Irish contained in the articles on "Celtic Nature Poetry," Early Irish Religious Poetry, and The Preternatural in Early Irish Poetry, and many others, by my own and other hands, will appear in an anthology of English verse renderings of Irish Poetry entitled Harpstrings of the Irish Gael, with some twenty illustrations in colour, Celtic capital letters, and a cover of Celtic design by George Morrow, to be published coincidently with this volume by the Devin-Adair Company of 437, Fifth Avenue, New York.
