The Academy is, I think, to be congratulated upon being the owners 

 of so considerable a fragment of the first book printed in Ireland, 

 especially bearing in mind that only two copies are extant, and that this is 

 the first occasion upon which any fragment of it has been found, so far as is 

 recorded anywhere. 



Every early binding ought to be carefully examined before it is thrown 

 away, as it was a general custom of early binders to utilize old materials in 

 binding later books ; and by this means many fragments of early printing 

 have been from time to time discovered.
