Part 4

The whole of the above are literal translations without having recourse to _fancy_, or _torturing the originals_; thus, _Macnamara_, called in Irish _Mac Conmara_, from _mac_, a son, _con_, the genitive case of _cu_, a hound, and _mara_, the genitive case of _muir_, the sea; and so of the rest. It is proper, however, to observe, that although the name of _Keating_ sounds exactly in Irish a "_shower of fire_" yet as the Keatings came at first from England, this cannot be the real origin of that name. All the rest are literally correct.

ONIONS.

Lord Bacon tells us of a man who fasted five days, without meat, bread, or drink, by smelling a wisp of herbs, among which were strong _onions_.
