Amongst the various modes adopted by most modern nations for the advancement Of Science, and the investigation of natural and civil History, that of establishing literary Societies seems to be as effectual as it is prevalent. There are few nations in Europe that have not associa tions to promote Arts and Sciences; to encourage philosophical research; to illustrate local antiquities, and perpetuate national History. Ireland, also, has had her Societies, some of whom laboured, by their publications, to rescue from oblivion and decay, some of the vast quantities of her ancient Annals, her Laws, her Poetry, and her Music.
