George Petrie. has exhaustively and con-
v%incingly shown that the story has no
fcCndation In fact. From its size, pecu-
liar construction and heraldic decoration
Mr.. Petrle deduced. to the satisfaction Of
archaeologists. that the harp belonged to
the smaller class of instruments used by
Irish .ecclesiastics to accompany voices in
or in the services Of the church. The in
strument Is but thirty-two inches high.
Thus Mr.. Petrie commended 1t was too
small to have been a bardic instrument,
quite untitled to have been played by the
minstrel at festal functions. The scholar
also points out that his argument for the
instrument being one for devotional pur-
poses is strengthened by the appearance
OF the letters II. H. s." carved in relief
OF the antiquary that this harp was made
for one of the two O'Neills who flourished
in the fourteenth century, the first as bish-
op Of Clogher. the second as bishop of
Derry.
One of the last Ministries who struck
harmony from the strings of the instrument
was a descendant of the prelates men,
Boru's harp" at Limerick in 176O. Twenty
years later 1t was presented to Trinity col
lege by the Hon. William ~Conyngham. The
harp, when perfect. had thirty strings.
1t Is of exquisite workmanship. The up
right pillar is of oak. and the soundboard
OF red sallow; the extremity Of the fore
arm has a Gaping of silver very artistt-
cally wrought. and there are other embel-
lishments in the same metal. There is also
stone. now lost. ireland in old days had
rare craftsmen in wood and metals. and
Bryan Roru's harp Is q most striking
example of their skill.
