ill offer to God with all possible devotion the
Holy Sacrifice of the Altar, beseeching our Divine Redeemer
to have mercy on our afflicted and persecuted country, and
to strengthen our clergy with His sanctifying grace. To
attain this end all the students will, moreover, on each
Friday, observe a rigorous fast, and will recite every day
at their evening devotions the penitential psalm, Miserere
mei Deus'".

Dr. Fleming was also a great patron of the learned men, such as the Four
Masters, Wadding, Harold, Colgan, and others, who at that time devoted
themselves to the study of Irish history and antiquities.

The present volume brings the history of the Archbishops down to the
memorable period of 1641. A copious and valuable appendix is added, in
which many most interesting letters of Irish bishops, generally
inedited, and other documents are published.

The succeeding volumes will appear without any undue delay.

_History of the Viceroys of Ireland, with Notices of the Castle of
Dublin_, etc. By J. T. Gilbert, Esq. Dublin: James Duffy. 1865.

This work is a valuable accession to Irish history. The author has had
access to the public records, and in this way has been able to fix the
chronology of important events, and to throw great light on a period
whose history had been written very inaccurately. The present volume
gives the history of the Viceroys from the Norman invasion in the
twelfth century down to the death of Henry VII. in 1509. The work will
be sought for with avidity by all who wish to become acquainted with the
real state of Ireland in the period before the Reformation, and it will
increase in interest as it comes down more closely to our own time.
