| THE OCONNELL MONUMENT - Glasnevin Cemetery, situated in a pleasant suburb of Dublin, is the last resting place of many famous people in Irish history. It holds, among others, the relics of Anne Devlin, the brave and faithful housekeeper of Robert Emmet; of John Philpot Curran, the king of Irish forensic eloquence; of Terence Bellew MacManus, the "rebel" leader of 1848, whose public funeral in 1861, "breathed a new soul into Ireland;" of John O'Mahony, the chief and founder of the Fenian Brotherhood; and also of Daniel O'Connell, the emancipator of the Irish Catholics, whose imposing monument is shown in the accompanying sketch. |
