The works principally consulted in the preparation of them were the "Social History of Ireland" and the "Irish Names of Places" by Dr. P.W. Joyce; the Mythological Cycle" by De Jubain- fourville; volumes and five of the long-since Society;defunct Ossianic the "Literary History of Ireland" by Dr. Douglas Hyde; Keating's "History of Ireland"; and a great number of Gaelic texts published by the Gaelic League and the Irish Texts Society, both of Dublin.

The temptation to treat them in a light vein proved irresistible.
