48).--A leading Young Irelander and college
friend of Davis. Author, in the Library of Ireland, of "The Confiscation
of Ulster" and "The History of the Volunteers."

MACMANUS, TERENCE BELLEW (1823-60).--A prosperous Irish merchant in
Liverpool who relinquished his prosperity to join in the insurrection.
He escaped from the British penal colonies to the United States and died
there in poor circumstances.

MACLISE, DANIEL (1806-1870).--One of the first painters of his time. He
refused the presidency of the British Royal Academy.

M'CARTHY, DENIS FLORENCE (1817-1882).--One of the chief poets of the
_Nation_, afterwards Professor of English Literature in the Catholic
University.

M'GEE, THOMAS DARCY (1825-1868).--Son of a coast-guard at Carlingford,
Louth. M'Gee between the ages of seventeen and twenty won a remarkable
reputation as a journalist in the United States and came back to Ireland
to take up the editorship of the _Freeman's Journal_, which he
relinquished to join the _Nation_ staff. After the failure in 1848
Bishop Maginn procured his escape to America disguised as a priest.
M'Gee, Devin Reilly and Doheny quarrelled in the United States, and
M'Gee's political views gradually modified. He proceeded to Canada,
entered politics, and became one of the first statesmen of the dominion
and a member of the Government. In that position he was continually
attacked by a section of the Irish as a renegade, and the bitterness of
his replies inflamed feeling. In April, 1868, he was assassinated by an
alleged Fenian. Local and sectional political hatreds appear, however,
to have had more to do with the murder of M'Gee than his virulent
denunciations of the Fenians.

MAGINN, EDWARD, D.D. (1802-1849).--Son of a farmer at Fintona, Tyrone,
Dr. Maginn entered the Church and speedily became noted for his vigour
of intellect and strength of character. In 1845 he was appointed
coadjutor-Bishop of Derry, and created Bishop of Ortosia in the
Archbishopric of Tyre. A strong advocate of Repeal and tenant-right, he
gradually attorned to the Young Irelanders when he discovered that the
Whig Government had bought up Conciliation Hall. In 1848 he sent Sir
John Gray to Gavan Duffy offering to take the field at the head of the
priests of his diocese if the insurrection were held back until the
harvest had been reaped. The sudden suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act,
however, forced the Young Irelanders' hands two months too soon.
