MASONIC PARTICULARS OF Bno . DANIEL O'CONNELL . It is said that he was initiated in the year I 799 , in Lodge 1 S 9 , Dublin , and that he filled the chair in 1800 ; no Mason ever went through the duties of Master of a Lodge with greater brilliancy .

Among the vicissitudes attending LodgesNo . 189 has been long
, transferred to a rural district , and the members may probably be ignorant of the honour they possess in ranking among their Past Masters the distinguished name of the liberator , Daniel O'Connell . Others say that he was not initiated in 189 , but that he only joined the Lodge , having been apprenticed in France ; certain , however , it is , that he was a most prominent , accomplished , and practical craftsman , working well in all the ceremonies ; and that he continuallintroduced several
exy cellent men of the present day .

tide were in singular contrast . Even O'Connell listened to the tempter , who poisoned the ear , and gave to the lessons of truth a construction inimical to holiness—Daniel O'Connell was expelled from the society of Irish Freemasons .
