Abraham Abell

He had a great interest in archaeology and did a study of the Irish Round Tower. He was responsible for the first collection of Ogham stone inscriptions and his collection is now on public display at University College Cork. He had a major collection of books. He was a member of the Royal Cork Institution and one of the founders in 1835 of the Cuvierian Society.^[2] This was the forerunner of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society.

At the time of his death, Abell's personal library contained about 4,500 volumes, including books written in Italian, French, Latin, German, Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, and Irish.^{[citation needed]}
