| A VIEW IN PHOENIX PARK.- When we consider that the renowned "Phoenix" is seven miles in circumference, and has a corresponding number of gates, it is not wonderful that it should possess so many, and such beautiful, points of attraction. Dublin is indebted to Charles II., England's "Merry Monarch," for the foundation of this noble pleasure ground. If he did nothing else for Ireland, he, at least, gave her capital one of the grandest popular resorts in the world, when, in 1662, he formed a deer park, "partly out of the lands of Kilmainham, which had been surrendered to the crown on the suppression of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and partly from the purchase of neighboring townlands." |
