The plant called Lon- don-pride grows here. The summit of this moun- tain is remarkable as being the burial-place of the ingenious Henry Eeles, who published many papers on electricity. In his principal work, which appeared in the form of Letters from Lis- more, and was printed in Dublin in 1771, he claims the credit of discovering the identity of electricity and lightning. According to his own directions, Henry Eeles was buried on the highest part of Knockmeledown, with his horse and dog. Lism...ore, once a celebrated city, became after- wards a neglected and miserable village, con- sisting of a few hovels, and without any trace of its former magnificence, except what might be gathered from the ruins of the castle and tlu' church. It continued in this state lor many 350 TOPOGRAPHY AND ANTIQUITIES. years, and is thus represented about the mid- dle of the last century. Since that time, the Duke of Devonshire has expended large sums in improving and beautifying the tow^n and precincts of Lismore, and, by the greatest liberality to his tenantry, has entirely removed all the grounds of complaint taken notice of by Wakefield and other writers.
