WEXFORD.
Sir,-In_ both of the very interesting and entertaining articles on Professor Allen, he is reported as saying that his mother was from Wexford in the West of Ireland. Whether it is worth while drawing attention to this inaccuracy I dén’t know; I shall leave it to your discretion; but Wexford is situated in the South-East corner of Ireland. It is more than a matter of geographical location because Wexford is altogether different in character from the West of Ireland. The latter is wild and barren. and rugged, with grand scenery in Connemara, whereas Wexford is rich farming country. It follows that the people are different too.
