Historical references

1836
You may observe that monasteries and castles have given origin to most ancient Irish villages, just as Public houses are now beginning to give rise and names to several, as Black Lion, Red Lion, Man of War, Fox and Goose, all named from the signs over the Public houses that gave origin to these villages! Piety and whiskey producing the same effects!
LSO (Ca) Leathanach: 65-66
