the expense of Donald Mac Loughlin, King of Ireland, for 
Donald [Mac Amalgaid,] Primate of Armagh, at the close of 
the eleventh century. Thename of the hereditary keeper of the 
bell is also inscribed on the cover, and it is remarkable that 
it was in the possession of one family from the period in 
which the case was made until it passed into Mr. M‘Clean’s 
hands. ‘The names of the artists who made the case are 
also given, from which it is proved to have been of Irish 
manufacture. 
All these bells are of a quadrangular ‘form, and vary in 
height from four to fifteen inches; and that they are of the 
antiquity assigned them by popular tradition the author 
proves by a chain of historical notices, collected from the 
Irish annals and other records.
