The Book of Kells is referred to in the Annals of Ulster as being "The Chief
Relic of the Western World." It contains 678 illustrated calf-skin or vellum
pages with the last two being without illustration. The major part of the
Book was probably written in the Columban Monastery's scriptorum on the island
of Iona, in Scotland and was coloured using natural dyes, made by the monks.
The ink has not faded in 1000 years.

THE EAGLE WING--THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND TO AMERICA,
1636 The deposition of their ministers, which took place August 12th, 1636,
hastened the preparations for emigration, and on the 9th of the following
September, the EAGLE WING, a vessel of one hundred and fifty tons, set sail from
Lockfergus with one hundred and forty emigrants prepared for the voyage, and a
settlement in a new country. The colonists took with them the necessary
implements for carrying on fisheries, and also a considerable amount of merchandise
to assist them by traffic to meet the expenses of the voyage and necessities
of the new settlement. Among the emigrants were four noted preachers, ROBERT
BLAIR, JOHN LIVINGSTON, JAMES HAMILTON, and JOHN McCLELLAND: all afterwards
promoters of the cause of truth in Scotland and Ireland. Among the families
that composed the company were the names Stuart, Agnew, Campbell, Summervil,
and Brown. Many single persons united in the expedition, and with them sailed
Andrew Brown, a deaf mute, from the parish of Larne, who during the revival
had been deeply affected, and had given satisfactory evidence, by signs
connected with a godly life, of having been truly converted. Like the voyagers in
the MAY FLOWER, this devoted people met with difficulties. The New England
Memorial traces them in the former case to the knavery of the shipmaster, first
in springing the leak, then in landing them far north of the intended harbour;
in the present case the parties concerned referred them to the providence of
God.
