A NEW NATIONAL COLLECTION

Historical Mementoes of Volunteers, United Irishmen and the '98 Groups

Failure to achieve a A IrIsh capital, not only for the purpo e of vlewmg complete revolution led to the establishment of the magnificent collection of the national antiquities tlie United Irishmen alld the sacrifices of of this country-which in the pa t I have occasionally Fitzgerald, Tone and Emmet. de cribed in this journal-but also the fine collections of ] ri h silver, glass, etc., in the rt Division. To the latter in recent years have been added two hi torical collections, one devoted to the national struggle of recent times, the other to the history of the 18th and 19th centuries. Although not yet completely arranged, visitors from various countries will find things to interest them and though still limited there is enough to give a fair idea of the epochs in question. The rise of the Volunteers in the late 18th century following the American revolt and bringing with them trade and parliamentary reform is represented by ~everal interesting pieces. A large lacquered tray shows a painted representation of a Volunteer presenting the charter of her liberated trade to Hibernia; a lady's fan again shows the Volunteer, this time guarding the Irish: flag, and a map of Ireland. Elsewhere are notable pottery pieces, ome by vVedgewood, figuring Volunteers of different di tricts fabric curtain give colourful details of their great 1783 review, and a clock by Graydon of Dublin uses a Volunteer inlay motif. Finally there is a confidential report of 1784 giving details of the trength and staffing of the Volunteers. The Old Irish Parliament which the Volunteers were hard-set to reform is represented by the black and gold robes of the peaker and Lord Chancellor, respectively. The latter's massive mace is in our Silver Collection; it is by Townsend of Dublin. The Speaker's mace, by Swift of London, is now at the Volunteer !'lag-18th cent,ury.

Electrical equipment is de igned to meet, with the greatest economy of fuel, the fluctuating demand that is inseparable from catering for the public. Exact temperature control ensures uniform cooking results. The cleanliness and convenience of electrical equipment reduce work and expenses. Actual fuel costs are very low and incidental economies are appreciable. The standard of cooking is very high, since electric cooking preserves food values and enhances the flavour and appearance of cooked food.
