The editor contemplates issuing a second series at some future period. = The Meeting of the British Association at Belfast, in 1852, gave rise to the publication of this Journal, which is devoted principally, but not exclusively, to the History and Antiquities of Ulster, the last province which held out against, the English sway. It was, at an earlier period, the battle-field of the native Irish Chief- tains and the Scandinavian Sea-Kings. Other distinct races of men, from time to time, are recorded to have effected settlements in the district, whose lineal des- cendants yet remain. The mountains still preserve their ancient Cairns and Crom- lechs of pre-historic times ; the vallies their earthen tumuli; the peat-bogs daily give up their ancient treasures of gold, silver, and bronze, teeming with the most varied and remarkable memorials of successive phases of society.—Lutract from Prospectus.
