CHAPEL-IZON, COUNTY DUBLIN.- The above romatically situated suburb of Dublin stands on the river Liffey, westward of the Irish capital, in a small but picturesque vale, which combines many features of truly sylvan beauty. Chapel-Izod is reputed to take its name from the pious daughter of an Irish monarch, who, on account of her wondrous loveliness, was called by the Norman Knights, La Belle Isode.
