ARCHITECTURE, -
Firtst.—A special history of Irish architecture from the
early erections of cromleagh’s and round towers, to the
building of the Custom-house in Dublin. Several engrav-
ings of the various style of Irish architecture will be in-
troduced, including, besides various towers and castles,
beautiful perspective views of Cormac’s chapel—Holy
Cross Abbey and the Irish Parliament house. It will be
proved in this essay, that the sublime style of architecture,
misealled gothic, is in fact Irish; and the names of the
pious architects who introduced that style throughout
Europe, with the names of the churches which they erect-
ed, will be given.
RELIGION.
Sixru,—The history of the ancient worship of Ireland
and of the introduction of Christianity into that kingdom
with some reflections on its nature—the extensive Univer-
sities of Ireland-.-the state of literature at various periods
=+the establishment of Universities by [righ scholars, in
the sixth and seventh centuries—the revival by those
pious missionaries of the learned languages, writing, lit-
erature, religion, arts, science and music, through Europe,
after the barbrrous violence of Saxon, Goth and Vandal
had subsided.
“THE HISTORIANS.

modern historians of Ireland, with accounts of the reconls
which they compiled, and the places where they are now
deposited, and the best compilations that now exist.

tinguished men, from Olam Fodlha to Connell, eom-
rising two hundred eepurate « lives,” which will include
the kings, warriors, writers, saints, bards and artists who
flourished during the ages prior to the English invasion.
and those heroic soldiers, patriots, martyrs, poets, musi-
cians, orators, authors, and artists of our country who
shone at mervales| in the gloom of seven centuries of
Anglo-Saxon oppression, including those who now live
and surround O'Connell in his | hetwie struggles for na national
independence.
PORTRAITS OF GREAT MEN.
Nintu.—A series of well executed engravings of a few
of the foregoing, which represent the costume ‘of different
ages—head and half-length.portraits, of Ollamh Podtha,

Welfe Tone, Flood, Grattan, Curran, Lord Edward Fitz-
gerald, Robert Eiamet, O'Connell, before the Catholic As-

HISTORICAL VIEW OF OTHER NATIONS.

land, and Europe generally, by which the reader may be-

will make nearly twelve hundred pages octavo. tis stereo-

calumniated land,—for this book will be your vindicator
and cheering companion in exile, or in bondage.
| As to pecuniary profits I shall have little, every man
acquainted with publishing will tell you this is the cheap-

of the subscribers until the book is realy f for delivery.
