in 1038, hut constructed successively some centu-
ries later, is a dilapidated Gothic edifice, contain-
ing some interesting monuments : among them
that of earl Strongbow, the first English invader
of Ireland. There are, besides the two cathedrals,
nineteen churches and two chapels of easfc.; of
which few are deserving of particular notice. St.
Andrew's is a vain and unfinished attempt after
the church of the R.otunda at Rome St. Wer-
ourgh’s exhibits the Ionic, Corinthian, and com-
posite, in its facade; and contains the remains,
but not the monument, of lord Edward Fitzge-
rald. St. George’s is a modern edifice, with a
handsome Ionic fluted portico and a light and
lofty steeple.

There are in Dublin twenty Roman Catholic
chapels. The metropolitan chapel, built by sub-
scription, and begun in 1816, is in the best taste,
xe2x80x94a large edifice, with a simple but majestic Doric
portico, resting on an elevated plane, approached
by a flight of steps, and sustaining a marble pedi-
ment. The places of worship for dissenting non-
catholic congregations are also very numerous,
and exceed, in proportion, the number in any
other part of the United Kingdom. There are
about a hundred public hospitals, and other be-
nevolent institutions and private associations, for
the relief, protection, reformation, and education
of the poor.

Dublin contains one public and two large sub-
scription libraries; the Dublin Society, for pur-
poses of science and art; the royal xrish acade-
my, and several others. Literature, however, in
Dublin is rather an accessory accomplishment
than a profession : there is no authorship, no pub-
lishing trade. The university sends forth well
educated and disciplined generations, but does no
more : the junior fellows are occupied with the
“ crambre repetita” of public and private lectures,
and other academic duties, whilst the senior fel-
lows five in opulence and learned ease.

The medical and surgical schools are well sup-
plied with professors and all the other means of
knowledge,xe2x80x94much frequented, and in high re-
pute. Several attempts have been made in Dub-
lin, but without success, to establish a school of
art: men conscious of their genius, or who have
proved it, migrate to London. From these may
be singled out, without distinguishing invidious-
ly, the president of the royal academy in London
(Mr. Shee,) and Mr. Mulready.

The chief manufactures of Dublin are, what are
called Irish poplins, tabinets, silks, cottons, wool-
ens, and hardware,xe2x80x94of which last the extent
does not at all equal the excellence.
