The Second Part of The Ulster Journal of Archæology has just appeared. We cannot better recommend it to our antiquarian friends than by pointing out that it contains the following papers:—1. Metropolitan Visitation of the Diocese of Derry, A.D. 1397. 2. Iona. 3. Anglo-Norman Families of Lecale, County Down.
4. Ogham Inscriptions. 5. Irish Surnames, their past and present Forms. 6. The Island of Tory in the Pagan Period. 7. Origin and Characteristics of the People in the Counties of Down and Antrim. 8. King William's Progress to the Boyne. 9. Antiquarian Notes and Queries. 10. Annals of Ulster.
We ought, in the same way, to specify the various papers to be found in the recently-published Reports and Papers read at the Meetings of the Architectural Society of the Archdeaconry of Northampton and the Counties of York and Lincoln; and of the Architectural and Archæological Society of the County of Bedford during the Year 1852,—but such a course is obviously impossible. There is one paper in the volume which, as especially worthy the attention of those interested in our Ecclesiastical History, deserves to be particularly noticed, namely, the Rev. G. A. Poole's Synchronological Table of the Bishops of the English Sees from the Year 1050 to 1550. How much good service might be done to Historical Literature by the compilation and printing of many documents of a similar character!
