Excerpt from The Martyrology of Donegal: A Calendar of the Saints of Ireland It must be very nearly twenty years, since the late eminent scholar, Eugene Curry, gave me some tracings or fac-similes which had been procured from Irish MSS. preserved in the Burgundian Library, at Brussels. These suggested the hope that some of the valuable documents collected by Colgan and his associates, which, before that time, had been regarded as lost, might be found among the Brussels MSS.; and this hope was soon after wards converted into certainty by Mr. Bindon, who directed my attention to the Catalogue of those MSS., published by the Belgian Government, and drew up from that work a complete account of all the MSS. in the Irish, Latin, French, and English languages, which had any reference to Irish history, in the Burgundian Library. This paper I had the honour of communicating to the Royal Irish Academy, in Mr. Bindon's name, at their general meeting, on the 24th of May, 1847, and it is printed in the "Proceedings" of that body.
