THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY 183 



Weld's Roscommon being published, eight counties still 

 remained to be dealt with. The first set included 

 Hely Button's Observations on Mr. tArchers Statis- 

 tical Survey of Dublin. " The volumes give a general 

 view of each county, and form comprehensive guide- 

 books to the whole." * Weld's Roscommon, which gives 

 an account of the social and archaeological curiosities 

 of the county, and Tighe's Kilkenny are considered 

 the best of the series.
