| ST. KIERAN'S COLLEGE, KILKENNY.- The saint whose name gives title to the college pictured above is held by some Irish savants to have preceded St. Patrick himself in his holy mission to "Green Innisfail." His chair, or throne, composed of native stone, stands in the north transept of the venerable Cathedral of St. Canice in this ancient capital of the English Pale, founded by the formidable Strongbow himself in that fateful year for Ireland, A. D. 1172. |
