Dublin and its Vicinity

The city and suburbs of Dublin (Self Catering, Dublin, Ireland) are interesting as being the headquarters of two rare plants-Sisymbrium Irio, unknown elsewhere in Ireland, and Mercurialis anmia, which, though frequently occurring about other towns in the southern half of the country, is much more abundant here than elsewhere. Neither of these plants is indigenous in Ireland.

Antiquities

East Leinster includes the counties of Louth, Meath, Dublin, Kildare, Carlow, Wicklow, and Wexford. Being that portion of Ireland which lies nearest to Britain it has been more subj fe1 ected to English influence than the western portions of the island. It is probable that in early times the connection between Ireland and the Continent was direct, and that the Celts came from thence without first passing through England ; but even allowing this to be so, it must be admitted that in later times the dominant feature in Irish history has been its geographical position as regards England.
