Dr. F. N. Robinson, assistant professor profes-sor of Gaelic at Harvard university, , who has been conducting a course of II instruction at the Catholic university i ! for the benefit of the students in the j Gaelic department, delivered a public ; lecture on "Early Irish Lyric Poetry." I Invitations had been extended to those I Interested in Gaelic literature and poet- J ry, and one of the largest audiences seen at the university for a long time gathered in McMahon hall on Monday i evening, April 21, to hear the lecture. ' The rector. Right Rev. Bishop Conaty, presided, and. In introducing Dr. Robinson, Rob-inson, he referred to the Gaelic literature litera-ture movement and acknowledged with gratitude the Indebtedness of the university uni-versity and of all lovers of Gaelic to the Ancient Order of Hibernians for 1 its princely gift, by which the chair of I uaelic had been established at the uni versity. Td Dr, Robinson the thanks of the university were due for his great 1 kindness in helping the work of the The lecturer dealt mainly with lyria . , i; poetry of the earliest ' period in Irish literature. He spoke first of the few poems that are found in the manu- "j ' . scripts of the old Irish period strictly t speaking, that is in the manuscripts 1 scattei-ed over the continent of Europe, which contain Irish glossaries, and 4 which were written from the seventh to the end of the tenth century. There is very little verse indeed; but such as there is has a peculiar interest and ! I rharm. He gave translations of sev- i eral fragments that have been discov- I ered in several corners of these old ! j manuscripts. The greater number of j , j the poems read are preserved in later i ' ..1 manuscripts in manuscripts of the S middle Irish period but their language shows them to have been composed, without doubt, many centuries earlier. They have come down to us usually as part of the national hero Sagas of the 1 Irish. In closing Dr. Robinson called attention atten-tion in particular to a poem recently published by Professor Kuno Meyer, and by him entitled "The King and the i Hermit." Dr. Meyer discovered this poem in a sixteenth century magazine, hut has given reasons for believing that it was written as early as the tenth centujv Bishop Spalding's Day. Preparations for the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the bishopric of Rt. Rev.
