In addition to all these there is a Chemical Museum, containing a great variety of specimens for use at lectures, and everything that is required for the prosecution of the various researches conducted in the School. The Professor’s Rooms and private Laboratory are on the floor immediately above the Quantitative Laboratory, and in direct communication with all the departments.[168] [Illustration: THE PRINTING OFFICE.] [Illustration: PULPIT NOW IN DINING HALL, ONCE IN OLD CHAPEL.] FOOTNOTES: [139] Stubbs’ _History of the University of Dublin_, pp. 5, 6.

[144] The _Ampelopsis veitchii_ planted on the eastern front in 1887 by G. L. C. & E. P. W., as seen in summer and autumn, has done wonders for the New Square. The hawthorns in every quadrangle brighten the whole face of the College in early summer. [145] He began life as a house carpenter. [146] There are in Dublin, at the present day, accomplished architects who have done, and are doing, good work both within and without the College walls. It is obvious that these remarks have no application nor reference to them, save in so far that even their best work has in it nothing peculiarly Irish. [147] Letter to Montagu, May 18th, 1748.

[150] I am obliged to Mr. George Cook, the manager of the Burlington Hotel, for this information, and for afterwards showing me over the house. [151] The Old Square of 1685 occupied apparently the site of two yet older quadrangles. [152] “It is an accursed thing not to die.” This strange saying will be found in Epictetus, Diss. II. VI. 12, where the philosopher adds that man, like corn, having once been sown, must look forward with satisfaction to the harvest when he shall also be reaped. The slave moralist may perhaps have met St. Paul at Rome. [153] These are modern pictures of no value or interest. There is an authentic and most interesting portrait of Bishop Berkeley in the Common Room. [154] Born 1665; died 1745. [155] Vigo Street, built at this time, takes its name from this most popular victory. [156] Sir Robert Stewart, Mus. Doc., Professor of Music in the University, and Organist of the College Chapel, to whom my best thanks are due, not only for this information, but for many details as to the Chapel Organ kindly communicated in MS. [157] The clapper weighs 2 cwt. 13 lbs., and the total cost was £230. [158] The belfry stage is not of sufficient size to admit of the swinging of so great a bell as that of the College; it is accordingly rung by chiming only. [159] One corner, indeed, had to be strengthened about the middle of the present century.
