The stories, best first
1 in all
Each story keeps the passage it was read from. Open one to read it as the scan has it, and, where the companion has written its own telling, that too. The passages are read off photographs of the page by machine, so a word here and there comes out wrong; they are kept as the reading produced them, so you can check any of them against the scan.

Read off the scanned page by machine, so a word here and there is misread. Kept as the reading produced it, not corrected.
It is deserving of the highest commendation that these ruins are, with good taste and good feeling, protected from wanton or idle injury by the tenant of the adjoining farm ; who, not long since, at his own expense, preserved the beautiful east window from being lost, having judiciously replaced some of the stone mullions, which, loosened by the hand of Time, had fallen down, and the want of whose support threatened to bring the whole of the tracery speedily to the ground.
Dr. Lentaigne presented, on the part of Mr. Peter Quit], some portions of a skeleton, an urn, and a fragment of another, all found on the townland of Kiltalown, close to the boundary of Killinarden, and in the parish of Tallaght, on the lands of John Robinson, Esq.

As the companion tells it
Somewhere close to Rathmore stand the ruins of an old church, and they survive because of one man's care. The tenant of the adjoining farm has protected these ruins from wanton or idle injury. Not long ago, at his own expense, he saved the beautiful east window from being lost. Some of its stone mullions had loosened and fallen down, and without their support the whole tracery would soon have come to the ground. He judiciously replaced them. The record calls this good taste and good feeling, and deserving of the highest commendation.
