R. I. A. and honorary secretary to theSociety for the Preservation and Publication of the Melodies of Ireland, con-tained 57 selections.Still hale and hearty in his eighty-sixth year, and devoted to the enjoymentof his cherished hobby, Dr. Joyce is likely to be heard from again in the world ofmusic before be becomes a nonogenarian or joins the heavenly choir.I148
