| THE GRATTAN STATUE, COLLEGE GREEN.- In 1876, the corporation of Dublin caused Foley's striking statue of Henry Grattan, the greatest of not alone Irish, but also of European, orators, of modern times, to be erected in College Green, opposit the old House of Parliament, in which he uttered the splendid speeches that have made his name immortal. Grattan, unlike O'Connell, was noted for vehemence and what may be called angularity of gesture. |
