The topographical and historical Map, which accompanies the
Annals of the Four Masters, has been compiled chiefly for the purpose of illustrating the events recorded, and pointing out the territories possessed by the Princes, Lords, Chiefs, and Clans, mentioned in the course of the Annals, thus elucidating the His tory, Topography, and Antiquities of Ireland. The Map has been arranged by Philip Mac Dermott Esq. , M. D. and compiled part ly from the ancient Topographies of O'Dugan and O'Heerin, which are given in the Annotations to the Annals, and explained in the Preface and Introduction, and partly from the Annals of the Four Masters themselves, one of the best and most accurate authorities, on the rank, titles, and territories, not only of the Irish Princes, Chiefs and Clans, but of the great Anglo-Norman or Anglo-Irish families. A great mass of materials has beenalso collected from va rious other sources. Abraham Ortelius, a celebrated geographer of Antwerp, who died in 1598, published a Map of Ireland, giving the names of the principal Irish and English possessors,in the reign of Elizabeth, and this Map was republished by the learned Charles O'Connor of Belenagare, about the year 1770, showing the principal Irish and English proprietors in the reign of James beginning the 17th century.

736 EXPLANATION OF THE MAP.
To make this Map as correct as possible, great labour has been Aileach in Donegal. Their kings ruled over Ireland 197 years,
encountered in collecting the materials, which have been carefully and accurately arranged, the compiler and publisher being most
anxious to render it a document that can he relied on as perfectly authentic. The Map has been engraved, with great accuracy, by W. H. Holbroke, of Crow-street, Dublin, who also executed the ancient Irish Ornamental Letters in the Annals, and the Illumi nated Title-page. The art of illuminating MSS. was practised from very remote ages, chiefly by the monks, who embellished their works on ecclesiastical history with paintings in beautiful and bril liant colours. These artists were called Illuminators, and decorat ed their books with elegant ornamental letters, emblematic figures, portraits of Saints, Angels, &c. , exquisitely coloured, and gilt or burnished with gold. Many magnificent specimens of this ancient art are to be found in various Libraries throughout Europe, parti cularly in ecclesiastical works, Lives of Saints, Books of the Gos pels, Missals, &c. The Irish ecclesiastics extensively practised this art, and many of their Books, of great antiquity, still remain, such as the Book of Armagh, or of St. Patrick, the Book of Kells, or of St. Columkille, which is preserved in Trinity College Dublin, and many more in various Libraries, all exquisitely illuminated. After the invention of printing, the practice of illuminating books fell into disuse, but has been again partially introduced in modern times, particularly in England, by the celebrated Pugin, who is the great revivor of this art, and has published a book of splendid specimens. The illuminated Title-Page to the Annals of the Four Masters does great credit to the taste and talents of Mr. Holbrooke, who has executed, in a very elegant style, that and other speci mens of this costly and difficult embellishment, and has the merit of being the first who has attempted to revive this beautiful and ancient art in Ireland.
Ancient Colonies. —On a Map of ancient Ireland, the Colonies that peopled the country from the earliest ages should be placed ; but as its size was not suitable for that purpose, the following ac count of them is here subjoined. The Celts were descended from Gomer, and the Scythians from Magog, two sons of Japhet, son of Noah, and both these people originally dwelt in the countries near the Euxine and Caspian seas, on the borders of Europe and Asia. (See Notes in Annals, p. 363 to 365).
1. The Partholanians came from Scythia near the Euxine sea, and were located chiefly in Ulster, at Inis-Samer in Donegal, and also at Binn-Edair now the Hill of Howth, where they were all, in number nine thousand, cut off by a plague, after they had been in Ireland thirty years.
2. The Nemedians, who were Celto-Scythians, came from the
country near the Euxine, and were located chiefly in Ulster at Ardmacha, or Armagh; in Derry, and Donegal ; and at the hill of Usneach in Meath.
3. The Fomorians, who were African pirates, of the race of Ham, and considered to be Canaanites or Phenicians, who were expelled from their country by Joshua, were located along the coasts of Ulster and Connaught, mostly in Antrim, Derry, Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo and Mayo, and had their chief fortress, called Tor Conaing, or Conang's Tower, on Tor Imis, or the island of the
Tower, now Tory Island, off the coast of Donegal ; and another at the Giant's Causeway, which was called Clochan-na-Fomo raigh, according to O'Brien, in his Dictionary, signifying the Causeway of the Fomorians, as it was supposed to have been con structed by this people, who are represented as a race of giants. These three colonies came to Ireland at different times, about 1600, to 1500 years before the birth of Christ, and had many fierce contests with each other.
4. The Fir-Bolg or Belgians, according to some accounts, were Scythians, and came from Greece, but are more correctly consi dered a Celtic race from Belgic Gaul, and came to Ireland about 1300 years before the Christian era; they were located in Meath and Leinster, but chiefly in Connaught, where the Fir-bolg kings ruled for more than a thousand years.
and this people being represented as highly skilled in the arts,
they are by some Antiquaries supposed to have built the Round Towers.
6. The Milesians or Gael, originally Celto-Scythians, near the Euxine Sea, on the borders of Europe and Asia, settled in Spain in very remote ages, and were mixed with the Celtiberians and Phe nicians. They came to Ireland from Gallicia, in North Spain, about 1000 years before the Christian era, and conquered the Damans. The Milesians were divided into three great tribes, the Heremonians, Heberians, and Irians, so called as descendants of three brothers, Heremon, Heber, and Ir, the sons of Milesius king of Spain. The Irians had Ulster; the Heremonians possessed Meath, and Leinster, and afterwards, also, Connaught and Ulster; the Heberians had Munster. The Clanna-Breogain, or Brigantes, were a branch of the Milesians, and so called from their ancestor Breogain, king of Spain, who was grandfather of Milesius; they were also called Ithians, from Ith, the son of Breogain, and some times Lugadians, from Lughaidh, the son of Ith. The Brigantes were located in South Leinster, and under the name of Ithians and Lugadians, in Cork and Kerry, or ancient Desmond.
7. The Cruthneans or Picts were Celto-Scythians, and, accor ding to our ancient historians, came from Thrace, soon after the arrival of the Milesians, or about 1000 years B. C.
, but not being permitted by the Milesians to remain in Ireland, they sailed to Albain, or Scotland, and became possessors of that country; in the course of many centuries, colonies of them came over and settled in Ulster, about the beginning of the Christian era, and at subsequent times; they were located chiefly in the territories which now form the counties of Down, Antrim, and Derry. An account of these colonies, and the tribes Ireland, mentioned the
