Brogan, S.\in"t, flourished in the sixth or seventh centurj'. Several persons in repute for holiness seem to have borne this name, which is variously wTitten Brogan, Broccan, Bracan, and even Bearchan and Bearchaniis. Of these, two are commemorated in the Irish Martyrologium of Aengus, the early date of which (c. 800) is now generally admitted. There, under 8 July, we read: ''Brocan, the scribe, gained a noble triumph without any fall"; and under

17 September: " Broccan of Ross Tuirc thou shouldst declare". Colgan (Trias Thaumat., p. 518) speaks as if he were inclined to identify both these persons with the author of an early Irish hymn upon St. Brigid. The glosses upon Aengus and the Mar- tjTologj' of Gorman, while seemingly treating them as distinct, prove that the matter admits of no cer- tainty. Some modern hagiographers incline to re- gard the St. Brogan of 8 July as the amanuensis and possibly the nephew of St. Patrick. They style him bishop and locate him at Maethail-Brogain, now Mothil in Waterford; but this is admittedly quite doubtful. St. Brogan of Rosstuirc, on the other hand, is identified with the author of the hymn to St. Brigid, and is believed to be the Abbot Brochanus referred to in the Life of St. Abban, preserved in the "Codex .Salmanticensis". Rosstuirc is generally as- signed to the Diocese of Ossory, and may be Ross- more in Queen's County.

Other Brochans are mentioned in the Martyrologj' of Gorman under 1 Januarj', 9 April, 27 June, and 25 August.

18 May, 1834; d. 11 May, 1895. He was the son of Achille-Victor, Due de Broglie, and his wife, Alber- tine de Stael, a Protestant and the daughter of Madame de Stael. After the death of the mother, who died young, he was brought up by the Baroness Auguste de Stael, nie Vernet; this aunt, although also a Protestant, exerted herself "to make a large- minded Christian of him in the Church to which sne did not Ix'long" (Monseigneur d'Hulst in " Le Cor- respondant". 25 May, 1895). Entering the NaN-y young, Broglie was appointed Ensign in 1857 and
