First sentence: THE question of the Origin and Uses of the Round Towers of Ireland has so frequently occupied the attention of distinguished modern antiquaries, without any decisive result, that it is now generally considered as beyond the reach of conclusive investigation; and any further attempt to remove the mystery connected with it may, perhaps, be looked upon as hopeless and presumptuous.
