The grave of the great Fionn was laid by a celebrated4 well in the County Cork5, and it is certain that a massive human jawbone was found there not long ago, far exceeding in size the bones of the present race of men. This jawbone was sent to London to be241 inspected by the learned philosophers, but was never returned—a great and grievous wrong to the renowned6 Irish chief, for no doubt the mighty7 Fionn will want it badly at the last day, when he is gathering8 up his bones to appear before the Lord.
