ANECDOTA FROM IRISH MSS. MS. Egerton 146, in the handwriting of Maurice O'Gorman and Edward O'Reilly. Oraid don leightheoir. Ó baodhasa .cc. A fir leaghtha an leabhráin bhig,* féach an tobar ó ttáinig: uille a tarbha iona thaidhbhsi, buime h'anma an obair si. An cisde trer cheannaig fer an ferann ionnar foilgheadh — ag so an fearann ionna bhfuil, neamhfhonn do nocha dlighear. O reader of this little book, Behold the well from which it sprang: Its use is greater than appears, This work is thy soul's nurse. The treasure for whose sake a man has bought The land in which it was concealed — (Here is the land wherein it is), He should not be indifferent to it.
