| –055.06+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 395/2: (of Parnell, a poet and vicar of the parish of Finglas) 'Goldsmith and Johnson, his biographers, kill the poet in the following July, 1717; but he lived for at least one year longer than they allow him, for there is an entry in the parish vestry book, dated April 12, 1718, and signed with Parnell's name, in his own handwriting' |

| –086.20+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 391/1: (of the village of Mullahuddart) 'boasted of an ancient society, established so early as the reign of Henry VI., A.D. 1532, the "Guild or fraternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mullahuddart." This guild is stated by Mr. Mason (Hist. St. Patrick's Cathedral) to have been established by Act of Parliament, convened by Richard Talbot, Archbishop of Dublin, and then Lord Justice' |
| –201.33+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 399/1: 'the "last" bishop of Kildare, with whom the see was extinguished... He was an amiable man, but excited some popular dislike by establishing a large dairy, of which he sold the milk. He was then christened by the dairy boys "the buttermilk bishop."

| –408.09+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 400/2: 'the monument of F. Grose, the antiquarian. The following is the inscription, which has the singular merit, for an epitaph, of being literally true: - "To the Memory of Captain Francis Grose, F.R.S., Who, whilst in cheerful conversation with his friends, Expired in their arms without a sigh, 18th of May, 1791. Aged 60"' |
| –422.20+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 402/2: (of the Maguire family) 'By successive confiscations and continued improvidence, their vast estates were exhausted, and the small patrimony which Bryan inherited was early squandered. He obtained a commission in the army, as his royal descent would not allow him to stoop to any other merely useful employment. With a prince's pride and a pauper's purse, his position in society was anything but enviable' |
| –434.07+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 397/1: 'a round house with a conical roof, which looks like a squat Esquimaux variety of one of our genuine Irish round towers... That odd building is an inconvenient parish school-house, built by the good-natured and hobbyhorsical Delany; it was his little whim' |
| –439.01+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 399/1: 'Glasnevin... is now a declining village, and, like its neighbour Finglass, mourns over the fickleness of fashion' |

| –570.32+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 391/2: 'The denial of the luxury of washing was a special mark of sanctity. One holy virgin, much renowned in eastern hagiology, Silvania of Jerusalem, could boast, at three score, that she had never washed her hands, or any part of her whole body, except the tips of her fingers, to receive the communion. Probably her sanctity would have been less conspicuous among the native Irish where dirt was a less common virtue' |
| –579.29+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 399/1: 'The modern predilection of the citizens of Dublin for the sea' |
| –579.31+ | Irish Rivers, The Tolka 400/1: 'The first extramural Christian burial-ground established in Dublin was the burial-ground of St. George's parish, adjoining the Royal Canal' |
