FOOTNOTES:[1]Dr. Beaufort.[2]On the top of this mountain Henry Eles by his own desire was buried; he was an ingenious man, and published several tracts on electricity.[From Rees'sCyclopedia.][3]The round tower of Downpatrick was taken down, in order to enlarge the west end of the cathedral, which is now repairing, after having lain in ruins for a great number of years. And it is very remarkable, that under the foundations of this tower, were found the vestiges of a more ancient church, which appears to have been of exceeding good masonry, and upon a larger scale than the present old fabrick; in the walls of which there are many pieces of cut stone, that have evidently been used in some former building. The same circumstance may also be observed in several of the ruined churches at Clonmacnoise.[4]From Ledwich'sAntiquities of Ireland.
