| DONEGAL ABBEY, CO. DONEGAL.- The ruins of Donegal Abbey, which crown a height above the lovely bay, recall mainly to the Irish mind the inestimable services to the Irish history of the "Four Masters"-chief of whom was Brother Michael O'Clery, of Kilbarron-who here complied the famous "Annals," familiar to all scholars, and covering a period that reaches from beyond the foundation of the pyramids of the Nile to the year of grace 1616. This great work was accomplished under the patronage of the generous and patriotic Feargal O'Gara, Lord of Moy O'Gara and Coolavin. |
