 Some biographical memoirs of the Mossops, father and son, 

 were also introduced; individuals of whom but little is known, 

 even in Dublin, their native city, beyond those works which 

 have long been admired as worthy of the best days of the 

 medallic art. 



Mr. Todd, for Mr. Petrie, read a paper by the late Dr. 

 West, " on the Ancient Geography of Gaul and the British 

 Isles." The principal object of this paper is to ascertain 

 whether the Belgae were of Teutonic or Celtic origin, and 

 whether they spoke a Gaelic, or Irish, or a Cumric or Welch 

 dialect of the Celtic; the author inclined to the opinion 

 that they were of Celtic origin, and spoke a dialect of the 

 Cumric, more resembling the Cornish than the Welsh, but 

 different from the Erse or Gaelic ; he brought many curious 

 and valuable facts to support his theory.
