Note 21 — PREFACE.
Reading edition
The ruins of O’Rourke’s castle still exist. They are sublimely situated on a rock that hangs and frowns over a rapid river, near Manor Hamilton, in the county of Leitrim. A few trees are scattered immediately about the castle, and around are heathy mountains rising to the clouds. “O’Rourke’s noble feast” has been rendered immortal by the translation of Dean Swift.
