Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Vol. 22 of 2: Formerly the Royal Historical and Arch?ological Association of Ireland; Founded as the Kilkenny Arch?logical Society
With the steady and rapid growth of the Society in the last few years are many signs of awakened interest in Irish Antiquities and History. This is evidenced in the activity of the two newly-risen local Societies which our Society may justly claim as daughters. But still more in the great increase in the number of Papers submitted to the parent Society for publication. At the same time the enlarged number of Members has placed at the disposal of the Council additional funds available for printing. They have therefore felt justified in so far enlarging the size of the Quarterly Parts of the Journal that the four parts issued in the year are now sufficient to form a separate volume. The Journal for the year 1892, is therefore now presented to the Members as the second volume of the Fifth Series. It is the twenty-second volume of the Society's Journal, numbering consecutively from the beginning in 1849, forty-four rears ago.
The form of the publication has at the same time been changed. Originally the Journal was in form a record of the meetings of the Society. The Papers read were then printed as matter incidental to the business of the meeting, only a few of the longest Papers having distinct titles. This plan was open to several objections.
