HE Pusuic are here presented with a néw and accurate De- 4 SCRIPTION of the Roaps of IRELAND, comprised in a neat, con- ; venient volume, similar to Mr. Patterson’s useful book of the English Roads; with this very material advantage, however, that, in the latter, no descriptions of the tewns are given, and few of the no- blemen’s and gentlemen’s seats mentioned ; whereas, in this work, the reader will not only find those deficiencies supplied, but accounts ot the most remarkable buildings, antiquities, modern improvements, natural productions, and every other particular worthy the traveller’s attention. The utility, therefore, of such a publication to all orders of peonle, and particularly to travellers, must be obvious. Indeed, the want of it heretofore had been so lonz and so universaliy felt, that the deficiency can only be accounted for from the difficulty of the execution. ; To explain this difficulty, and to point out the various sources of in- formation from whence the necessary materials for the compilation aré collected, might be déemed ostentatious : yet, let the intelligent weigh well the nature of the undertaking; of ‘describing what has been hi- therto undescribed ; of pointing out what before was unnoticed; of travelling over ground, which, though often trod, had never been ae- curately surveyed ; and they will be convinced of the usefulness of a work, not to be accomplished but with unremitting labour and consi- derable expense. The Post-Chaise: Companion will be found to contain: I. A Description of the City of Dublin. II. Accurate Lists of the direct and cross roads of Ireland, with the distances from the Castle of Dublin to the market-houses of the several towns; or from the market-house of one town to that of another; ta- ken from actual surveys by Taylor and Skinner, and many other well authenticated informations; besides which, near fifty roads, not hi- | therto given or described by any person, are here inserted ; by which means, the destination of any traveller will be more completely point= ed out. III. Descriptions of cities, towns, noblemen’s and gentlemen’s seats, public buildings, &c. improvements, churches, castles, ancient ruins, and other monuments of antiquity ; mountains, bays, harbours, lakes, rivers, springs, waterfalls, spas, glens, natural curiosities, &c. with their respective distances from the nearest towns, or from the places last described. IV. Lists of the circuits of the judges, and of the several poste towns, and the rates of postage. | V. A Travelling Dictionary ; or, Alphabetical Tables, on a plan. | entirely new; shewing the distances of all the principal cities, bo- roughsy market and sea-port towns in Ireland, from each other. | These tables will not. only be found a most desirable appendage to this book, but may prove particularly useful on various other occasions, , VI. An Index of the several towns mentioned in the direct and cross reads; shewing the county wherein each town is situated; and | a ‘| ay IN TRODUCTION. its distance from Dublin; with references to the pages in which the roads are to be found. VII. An Index of remarkable laste: with references to the pages in which they are mentioned. These are the chief particulars of the work, which, the editor hopes, will appear to be accurately and faithfully attempted, and as such, prove acceptable to all who are interested for the rising pros- - perity of this eountry. It is presumed, that, for finding‘ the places wanted, little infor- mation will be necessary, other than by referring to a very full in- dex, where the page of the road is pointed out, and. observing, that the measurements of the road from one stage to another, shew. the distance in miles, halves and quarters, which are arranged in two columns: for instance, the first gives the distance from one city, town, or village, to the next; the further column, the number of miles from Dublin, or the commencement of the road, noting each different county as the traveller enters. _ And, at the end of each road, is given an account of whatever is worthy of observation, with particulars of the several towns and seats. To find the road from Dublin to any city, town, or remarkable village in Ireland, look for the name of the place in the Jndex to the Roads, and the figure opposite to it refers to the page in which is the part of the road containing the place looked for; thus, from Dublin to Cork, the index directs you to page 308, where you find Cork, with its distance from Dublin, In describing the lesser roads branching out from thé greater, the last remarkable, place on the great road, or the spot where ‘the less turns off, is first given, with a reference to the page in which you will find the road so far as to that place ; and afterwards the branch is continued: as for instance, to find the road from Dublin to Wa- terford, the index refers you to page 374, where you find it in the following form, viz. ‘Gowran, as in p. 371 — 52 | Thomastown, Kilkenny | 63] 583 .gerpoint _ ‘ 15} 60 _ * Mullinayat- ~*~ 8 | 68 Ferrybank 62 74a WATERFORD, Waterf.\ | 744 By which it appears, you are referred to page 371 for this road as far as Gowran ; thence the remainder of the road is given after the above form in page 374, as directed by the index. In like manner, for the roads from Dublid to Ballyragget, the index directs to page 339, where you are referred fo page Sc for one road as far as Cas- tlecomer, and to page 308 “for the road from Dublin to Kilcullen Bridge, the continuation of each road being given in the several pages referred to. "These references are made-use of to prevent the numberless repetitions which othe erwise would unavoidably ¢ occur in a.work of this kind, i pc ace. For the information of fomignens it may be here proper to “remark, that eleven Irish ‘miles are equal -to fourteen British ; and ene shilling and a penny Irish cyrrency is a British shilling, . DESCRIPTION OF THE God “Latked old ds Dos, the metropolis of Ireland, the second city in his Majesty’s dominions, and_ es- teemed the fifth for magnitude in Europe, is situated in the’ pro- vince of Leinster, in the county of Dublin, at the bottom of a large bay. The river Liffey, which here disembdgues itself into the ocean, divides the town into nearly two equal parts’: formerly the city of Dublin was confined to the S. side of the n- ver. [t wasa place of great an- tiquity. Ptolemy, who — flou- rished in the reign of “Antoninus | Pius, about the year 140, says it: was anciently called Aschceled. In 155, Alpinus, whose daugh- ter Auliana was drowned in the Liffey, changed the name from af. Aschcled toAuliana : it wags terwards named Dublana, and “Ptolemy calls it Eblana. Dub- Jana, whence comes Dublinum: and Dublin, is’ evidently derived *from Dub-leana, the place of the black harbour or lake, or rather the lake of the sea, “the bay of ‘ Dublin being frequently so called. This city has had a ‘variety of "names. The Irish called it Drom-chell, coil, the brow of a hazle woed ; and, in 181, Eogan, TD, dade dal king of Munster, being on a. royal tour, paid a visit to this place, which was then called Atha Cliath-Dubh-Line, the pas- sage of the ford of hurdles: over the black-pool the harbour of Dublin was likewise known by the name of Lean Cliath; or Leam- Cliath, from Lean; or? Leam, a harbour, and Cliath, or! Chabb, which literally signifies a hurdle er any thing’ made of wicker work; it also signifies certain weirs formed with hurdles, and placed in rivers anid bays,” by the aucient Irish, for the purpose of taking fish ; whence any river or bay wherein these weirs were fixed had the name of Cliath, or Citabb, annexed to it, to-signify the establishment of a fishery. Dublin, therefore, being origin- ally built’ on, on: near, ‘one’ of these harbours, © was anciently called Bally-lean-Cliath, that is the town on the fishing harbour. It is described at the present day in the Irish language by the ap- pellations of Ath-Clhiath, the ford of hurdles, and Bally-ath Cliath, the town of the ford of hurdles; the inhabitants having formerly had access to the river by hur- dies laid on the low. marshy iit] Defcription of the City of Dublin. fiv grounds adjoining the water: and this name was also ¢xtended tothe N. side of the river, from a temporary bridge of hurdles thrown over the Anna Liffey, a corruption of Auin Louiffa, or the swift river, so termed from the rapidity of the mountain floods. This side was enlarged by M*Turkill, the Danish prince, who, notwithstandmg, fixed his habitation on the S. side, and abandoned the northern town, which, from the original coun- try of the invaders, was called | Eastmantown, since corrupted to Oxmantown. King Edgar, in the preface to his charter, dated 964, mentions Ireland with its mostnoble city [zobilissima civitas | ef Dublin. By the Fingalhians itis called Divelin; and by the Welch, Dinas-Dulin; or the city of Dulin. In 448, Alphin M*‘Eachard, king of Dublin, and all his sub- jects, were converted to -chris- ' tianity, by St. Patrick. In 1146, the first nunnery was built: it was situated on the E. side of the city, without the walls, in a vil- lage called Hogges; and, being dedicated to the Virgin Mary was styled the nunnery of St. Mary de Hogges: Andrews’s chureh now stands on a part of the site of it; and from the vil- lage of -Hogges, was derived the name of Hogge-hill, lately changed to Andrew-street, as well as that of Hoggin-green, now College-green, formerly a place for the execution of male- factors. After the suppression of religious houses, — this nunnery was granted, by Edward VI. to James Segrave and his descend- ante, forever. It was first found- ed by Dermott M*Murrough, king of Leinster, for nuns fol- lowing the rule of St. Augustin ; but none were admitted into it under the age of thirty years. In 1166, the same monarch founded the priory of All Saints, for Augustinian canons of the or- der of Araocia. In 1538, it was granted to the citizens of Dublin, who resigned it for the erection of an university in 1590, when the whole building, except the steeple, was demolished ; and the following year, on the site of this priory, the foundation of Trinity- College was laid. Besides these religious houses, there were also the following : St. Mary’s-Abbey, (the site of which, on the W. side of Capel-street, still retains the name.) It was built by the Danes, in 498, for Benedictine monks; who gave it up for the accommodation of the Cistertian order, in 1139. The priory of St. Sepulchre’s was situated onthe N. side of Kevin-street. Neither the found- er’s name, nor the period in which it was first built, are cer- tainly known; but it is thought to have been the same priory for knights templars, mentioned in the life of St. Patrick, which was erected at a place called Casgot, in that quarter of the suburbs. From Speed’s plan of. Dublin, taken in 1610, this pri- ory appears to have been a large building, with a considerable ex- tent of ground belenging to ity surrounded by a strong wall, in which were two lofty portals on the N. side, and two smaller gatesonthe S. Nearly opposite to one of the S. gates stood ano- ther ancient edifice, distinguished jn the plan by the name of Church on Paul. The nunnery of St. Mary les. 5 ae Defcription of the City of Dublin. {vi Dames was situated without the E. gate, called from thence Dame’s-gate ; and Dame-street, at the W. end of which the gate stood, also had its name from s nunnery. The abbey of St. Olave, built by a colony from Bristol, for such of their countrymen as should embrace the order of St. Augustin. It was situated at the S.side of Castle-street, (where Cole-alley is now built) and the passage leading to it was from Ship-street, where there is still to be seen in the town-wall the marks of the portal called St. s\ugustin’s-gate. The monastery of Witeschan waserected on or near the Coombe, for Friars de PcenitenNa, or Sac Friars, who came into Ireland about the year 1268. The abbey of St. Thomas, founded by William Fitz-an- delm, butler to Henry IIT. in 1172, for canons of St. Victor. In 1545, Henry VIII. granted it, with all its jurisdictions, and a curracate of land called Do- nower, to William Brabazon, Esq. ancestor to the present Earl of Meath. It was situated in that part of the Earl of Meath’s Liberty now called Thomas- court. The priory of St. John the Baptist, erected by Alured de Palmer, in 1188, was situated onthe N. side of Thomas-street, “and to the westward of the pre- sent site of the market-house. A Roman catholic chapel, called St. John’s chapel, is built on part of the site of this priory, of which there are now no other remains but the rains of the steeple. The priory of St. Saviour, | founded about the year 1202, by William Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, for Cistertian friars, who gave it to the Dominicans in 1224, was situated on the nor- thern bauk of the river, to the eastward of the Qld-bridge. Queen Elizabeth granted it to the Duke of Ormond for ever. It was afterwards appropriated to the use of the Lawyers, and called the King’s-Inns, from whence the Inns-guay has its name. Part of the ruins re- mained till the year 1776, when they were entirely clear’d away ; and a magnificent building is now erected on the site, for the courts of law and public offices. The monastery of St. Francis was built in 1285, on a piece of ground given ior the purpose by Ralph de Porter, in that quar- ter of the suburbs calied Francis- street. The monastery of the Holy Trinity, founded in 1259, by the family of Talbot; it stood on the present site of Crow-gtreet theatre.’ The monastery for Carmelites, or white friars, was built about the year 1278, by Sir Robert Bagot, chief justice of the king’s bench. . The parliament sat ia this monastery in 1383, Queen Elizabeth granted it to Francis Aungier, who was created baron Longford, in 1621, and on the ancient site Whitefriar-street, Aungier-street, Longiford-street, &c. are erected. A priory for knights templars was founded at Kilmainkam, in 1174, by Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke ; it was esteemed one of the most spacious buildings in the kingdom. The royal hospi- | tal of Kilmainham is erected ot ‘the site.

St. Stephen’s church was onthe S. side of Stephen-street ; anda little to the westward was another called St. Peter’s ; these were both standing in 1610, but there are now no. remains of ei- ther. The hospital of St. Ste- phen was erected on the present site of Mercer’s-hospital, Stayne-' hospital was founded by Henry de Londres, in 1220: it stood without the walls, but the exact situation is doubtful. Allens’s- hospital was built in 1500, by John Allen, Dean of St. Patrick, for the reception of sick. poor: it was situated near the deanery- house, in Kevin-street. In the, year, 498, the Ostmen, Danes, having entered-the Liffey, with a fleet of sixty ‘sail, made themselves masters of Dub- lin and the adjacent country, and soon after environed the. city with walls... About 1170, Der- mot M‘Murrough king of Lein- ster haviag quarreled with . the other ‘princes of the kingdom, a: confederacy was formed. against him by Roderick O’Connor, mo- narch of Ireland...

M*Turkill, the Danish king, escaped to his shipping : he returned, however, soon alter, witha strong fleet, to recover the city, but was killed in the attempt, and in him ended the race of Easterling princes in Ireland... In 1172, Henry II. landed at Waterford, ,and obtained from Richard, Earl of Strongbow, (who married the daughter of Dermot M*‘Murrough, ene by compact, was his successor) a surrender of the city of Dublin, where he built a pavilion of wicker work, near St. Andrews’s church, then situated where Cas- tle-market lately stood, and there entertained several Irish princes, who voluntarily submitted to him, on condition of being governed by the same laws as the people of England. Henry also held a parliament here: in 1173, he granted his first charter to Dublin, and by divers privileges, encou- raged a_ colony from Bristol to settle here. In 1210, upwards of twenty Trish princes swore allegiance to king John at. Dublin ; engaging to establish the English laws and customs in the kingdom ;_ and in the same year, anes of judica- ture were instituted. In 1916 magna charta was granted to the Irish by Henry ILE. an entry of which was madein the réd book of the Exchequer, at Dublin: in 1217, the city, granted to the citizens in fee farm, at two hundred marks per . annum 3; and in 1297, the above monarch’ or-* dained, that the charter granted by king John should be, kept. inviolably ; in 1404, ‘the statutes’ of Kilk kenny and Dublin were confirmed in .a_ parliament held at this city, under. the Earl of ix] Description of the City of Dublin.

[xit By comparing this account of the ancient state and boundaries of the metropolis with the fol- lowing description of its present extent, population, and magni- ficence, an idea will be readily formed of the amazing imcrease and improvement it hath expe- rienced within the last cen- tury. : Dublin is seated in view of the sea on the E. and a fine country, which swell, into gently-rising eminences on the N. and W. while it towers boldly up in lof- ty mountains that bound the ho- rizon onthe S. The city itself cannot be seen to full advantage on entering the harbour : but the 4pproach to it from thence ex- hibits a fine prospect of the country for improvement and cultivation, interspersed with numerous villas, that have a most agreeable effect to enliven this delightful scene, which, begin- ning at the water’s edge, is con- tinued all over the coast to the northward of the bay, as far as the eye can reach, and is finely contrasted by a distant view of the Wicklow mountains to the S. where the conical hills, called “the Sugar-loaves, contribute not a little, by the singularity of their appearance, to embellish a landscape, so extensive and pic- turesque, as not to be equalled by any natural scepery in Europe, but the entrance of the bay of Naples, to which it bears a very striking resemblance. The form of Dublin is nearly a square, a figure that includes the largest area proportioned to its circumference. From the royal hospital at Kilmainham, at the western extremity of the town, tothe E. end of Towns- endrstreet, the length is two miles and a half, and its great- est breadth is computed to be of the same extent: hence the city is about ten, miles in circumfe- rence. Its increase within the last twenty years has been amaz- ing : it now contains about twenty eight thousand houses, whose in- habitants are estimated at three hundred thousand souls. Dublin, with -respect to its streets, bears a near resemblance to London. Some of the old streets were formerly narrow. but this defect is now in a great measure remedied by an act of parliament, passed in 1774, for opening the public avenues, tak- ing down sign-posts, palisades, pent-houses, &c. new paving the streets, and flagging the foot pas- sages: and, in 1785, another act passed for the better paving, cleansing, and lighting the city ; in consequence of which, an ad- ditional number of globes, with double burners, were put up at the distance of thirty-six feet from each other. These neces- sary improvements contribute ex- ceedingly to. the beauty and con- venience of the metropolis. The new streets are wide and com- modious, the houses lofty, uni- form, and elegant: nor are several of the old streets totally deficient in these respects: to wit, Sack- ville-street, or the Mall, which, though built upwards of sixty years ago, has been included in the number of our new streets, by all the late geographers, (a self-evident proof that these wri- ters had not even seen the city.) Within these few years past. Sackville-street has received yery considerable improvements, par= ticularly by removing the Mall in its centre, and by opening the entire into one noble street of one xiii] - hundred and twenty feet wide.; which, extending from Carlisle- Description of the City of Dublin. [xiv buildings on the S. side of the river, those wherein persons of bridge to the Rotunda and pub- distinction reside lie chiefly to lic assembly-rooms, with the new avenue just opened on the S. side, called Westmoreland- street, from the college also to Carlisle-bridge, renders this one of the noblest avenues in Europe. Among these, on the N. side of the river, in the same quarter with, Sackville-street, are Gar- diner’s-row, N. great George’s- street, Granby-row, Cavendish- row, and Palace-row: the last three form a superb square, hay- ing the garden of the Lying-in- hospital in the centre: the old wall that encompassed the gar- den having been taken down, there is now a full view of this delightful spot, surrounded with | iron palisades, and upwards of one hundred globes with double burners, disposed at equal dis- tances, which, added to the globes from the surrounding houses, have a most brilliant ef- fect. This square, which for its size, is not, perhaps, to be equal- led, has lately received the name of Rutland-square, in compli- ment to his Grace the late Duke ef Rutland, who contributed munificently towards the im- provements in the enclosure of the new-garden, and the erect- ing an elegant edifice for ball and-supper -rooms, situated to the E. of the hospital. To the E. of Rutland-square, anew and elegant one has been lately erected, called Mountjoy- square, the centre of which is [aid out in gravel-walks, planted with ever-greens, flowering- shrubs, &c. and enclosed with iron palisades, with lamps, &c. as Rutland-square. Among the new streets and b the eastward of the college and Stephen’s-green ; which last,tho’ it does not rank with the new buildings, possesses much gran- deur and elegance, being one of the largest squares in Europe : it is an english mile in circumfe- rence, surrounded by a gravel walk planted on each side with trees; within this walk is a smooth level meadow, having in the centre an equestrian statue of the late king : there are several fine edifices, though almost all differing in the style of their ar- chitecture ; this variety, how- ever, is esteemed by many ra- ther a beauty than a defect: but besides the other streets and build- ings in this quarter, there is a new square which is nearly as extensive as Stephen’s-green, cal- led Merion-square : it was laid out some years ago, by the late Lord Fitzwilliam ; the buildings, except a few, are quite finished ; and the centre (like Rutland and Mountjoy-squares) is enclosed with iron palisades, &c. and formed into a beautiful. garden, adorned with shrubberies, gra- vel-walks, and handsome en- trance lodges. S. of this square, and between Baggot-street and Leeson-street there is another square laid out, of smaller dimensions, and cal- led Fitzwilliam-square. E: of Merion-square, and on a conti- nuation of the S. and N. sides, are Mount-street and Pelham. - street : these squares, and adjoin- ing streets of communication, are all calculated for people of rank and fashion, eminent merchants and traders retiring from busi- ness, &c. but N. E. of these, and xv] between the Artichoke road (now: called Grand Canal-street) and’ Sir John Rogerson’s-quay, there ‘are many extensive streets, of “great widths and ample depths, Taid out. for merchants and tra- ders, requiring room to carry on their respective professions. Of ‘these, Great Clarence-street, se- venty feet wide, and eighteen ‘hundred fect in length to the ‘river, is now begun. In the midst of these ‘streets: ‘ends the Grand Canal, from the ‘ntericr parts of the kingdom, ‘and is here terminated by a har- ‘bour and docks, of three hun- ‘dred feet in width, and upwards of two thousand feet in length, over which there is a fine bridge, ‘and a double lock of communi- ‘Cation with the river at full tides, ‘through which vessels will pass freighted with goods for foreign and home consumption. _ Atthe S. W. angle of Ste- ‘phen’s-green, two new streets, “Harcourt-street and Hatch-street, ‘have been lately opened, in the “former of which is a most ele- ‘gant and ‘superb building, the town residence of the late Earl ‘Clonmell. The principal entrance to the walks of Stephen’s-green, 1s on the W. side, opposite the end of ork-street,, which may be pro- perly, classed among the new streets, as all the old houses have heen -pulled down, and modern buildings erected in their room. Baggot-street_ and Leeson street have been so much extended, and built with such regularity and neatness, as to rank with the first in these respects. .. Those parts of the city inha- bited By merchants and traders begin to weara new face ; and amongst this number the new Description of the City of Dublin. form and_ beautiful houses, all of an equal height : | the shop doors and windows are formed by arches, exactly simi- lar in their construction and or- [xvi buildings of Dame-street, on the S. side, exhibit an extensive, uni- range of naments, which ‘are simply ele- gant : when the other side of this street shall be rebuilt, about one third of which is done, it may be justly pronounced one of the first trading streets in Europe : and Parliament-street, which was built some years ago, is now nearly equal to any trading street in London. College-green is a place of a pyramidal form, and though of ancient date is one of the most splendid and pleasant in the city. Its base is forméd by the grand W. front of the college : on its: N. side stand the late. parliament- house, ‘and the new club-house, a superb edifice of hewn stone, in which a rustic basement sup- ports a range of Jonic - pilasters, crowned with their regular en- tablature, and terminated with | antique vases: and on its S. side is the post-office. In the centre of College-green there is erected upon a marble pedestal an excel- lent equestrian statue in brass of king William ITT. raised by the city of Dublin in grateful com- memoration of their deliverance from slavery under his conduct.

The cassoon, or light-house, si- tuated about four miles from the city, seems, like another ‘Pharos, to riseout of the sea. The pas- sage here in stormy weather is very unsafe: but a_ stone-wall, that stretches for three miles, con- fines the channel on each side till you reach Ringsend, to which the city has nearly extended. On the N. side of the wall isthe har- bour, where vessels lie safe at anchor with an open sea. From Ringsend up into the whole city, the river is commodiously em- banked with quays 5 and excel- lent docks on its respective sides are laid out sufficiently capaci- | ous to hold several thousand vessels, and are reputed to be quite as large and convenient as those of Liverpool, but far ‘more beautiful, The Custom-house on the N. side of the river is one of those elegant structures that few na- tions can boast, whether in point of beauty or its convenient adap- tion to the purposes of com- merce, We donot believe that any building of the kind in Eu- rope can hold a comparison with it, ang: certainly it exhibits no indifferent sign of the flourishing state of the Gounte ys Two canals on the opposite tent: the southern navigation ex- tends upwards of forty Irish miles, to the river Barrow; and a branch of this” eanal is’ cars ried on in a western direction to the Shannon; the north- ern canal has also for its object to communicate with the latter riverin the county of Longford ; and, by a collateral cut, to unite with the Boyne navigation. At Dublin, the river is crossed by seven bridges, of which that called Island-bridge, lately re- built, stands as a monument of national taste, and may justly be called the J/rish Rialte, forming one grand arch that sweeps ina beautiful and wel l-proportioned direction from N. to S. ex tending three hundred and fifty six feet’: the arch is an Ellipsis, whose cord or span measures one hund- red and four feet, being twelve feet wider than the celebrated Rialto at Venice. The key-stone is twenty-two feet . above high- water mark, and its breadth on the top within the parapets or plinth s, thirty-eight feet, includ- ing two flagged foot-ways of six feet on each side. FEssex- bridge deserves the second notice, not for its antiquity, but for the excellence of its architecture; having about the year 1753 been rebuilt after the model of W'est- minster-bridge, every stone of the former being in exact confor- mity and proportion with those of the latter. Carlisle bridge, now finished from the design and un- der the direction of Mr. James Gandon, over the river Liffey, (which at this partis one hund- red and fifty feet wide,) consists of three arches; the cenfre arch sides of the river, with which } | is forty eight. feet wide, and the ee ee Soe

Near five miles fom Dublin, on the L. is Tamora, the seat of Counsellor Wilkinson 3 half .a mile beyond which is Cloghran church, on. the R,—Adjoining the church is the seat of Mr. Shields. Swords the is a borough, electors of which are called pot- wallopers, but since the Union returns no members to parliament. Here is one of those ancient round towers, which are almost pecu- liar to Ireland ; it is seventy-three feet high, and fifty-six feet dis- tant from the church. a plainer structure, and, more rude than some edifices of the same nature—an attentive ob- server may discover a little irre- gularity on the tower, near its summit, which was rebuilt within these last twenty or thirty years. The Archbishop of Dublin many centuries ago had a residence at Swords, the surrounding walls of which still remain. About a quarter of a mile on the R. of Swordsis Mantua, the seat of Mr. Bunbury. Half a mile beyond 4 near the turnpike, on the L. Lissen-hall, the seat. of Mr. Go| Qn the R. is the seat of, don. Mr. Hatch. Lower down the river is Villa, the seat of Lieut. General Massey. . Two miles beyond Swords, on the R. is Turvey, the seat of Lord Kingsland. ‘One mile far- ther, on thie R, is Curduff, the seat of Mr. Baker, and about three miles farther is the Man of - War Inn, at the rere of which is a barrack for a troop of horse. _ _ ‘Fwo. miles. beyond Turvey, _on the road to Rush, and situated _ on a rising. ground oyer the sea, To Drogheda, and Donaghadee. It is of [4 is Mount Evans, the seat of Hampden Evans,. Esq. Half a mile -beyond Turvey, at some distance on the L. are the ruins of the nunnery of Grace Dieu. Balruddery, which gives name ‘to one of the Baronies of the Co. Dublin, stands about a mile from the sea. It is a vicarage in the diocese: of Dublin ; the church, which was formerly a handsome structure, is now inruins. The town itself is much on the decline. A mile tothe R. of Balrudde- ry, but not seen from the road, is < Prospect, a seat of the Marquis of Bective, and half a mile far- ther is Hampton-hall, which ‘was the beautiful seat of the late Mr. Baron Hamilton. A mile and a half beyond Bal- ruddery, on the R. is Balbriggen, a seaport town, remarkable for extensive cotton manufactories. N. B. Through Balbriggen is the best carriage Wold. Three miles anda half from Balruddery, on the L. is Gor- manstown, the seat of Lord Gor- manstown. ‘The house. is old, but has very noble and splendid apartments init, and the improve- ments render it a very agreeable mansion. ‘The demesne about the seat is well cultivated, and pretty extensive. : On the R. of Julianstown- bridge is Ballygart, the seat of Thomas Pepper, Esq. and on the opposite side of the river Nanny is Ninch, the beautiful seat of Mr. Doran, both situated at the mouth ofthe river.—The combination of water, wood, and falling pasture ground, as } seen here from Julianstown-bridge, presents a scene of pastoral beauty, hardly to be surpassed\:in its kind in any country. Near Drogheda, on the R. is 5] To Drogheda, and Donaghadee. {6 Green-hills, the seat. of Mrs. Doran. Drogheda is large, regular and well built, and a town and county in itself, situated on the river Boyne, five miles W. of the Irish channel. It has a good harbour, and a barrack for two companies of foot.. It was taken several times, and particularly by Oliver Cromwell, who stormed it, and put all the inhabitants to the sword. The prospect of Drogheda is very striking, from | the old towers that rise above the houses. Here is a handsome modern church, built of very white hewn stone, with a lofty spire, on the site of a very an- cient one. There has been lately built, at the expense of the cor- poration, a large and commodi- ous market-house ; the front is of white hewn stone, and the whole finished. in a style of elegance far superior to any thing of the kind that this, or even the sister king- dom can boast. Some fine abbies are to be met with here, which with several gates and town walls, still entire, demonstrate its . antiquity. Drogheda returns one member to the united parliament. Two miles up the river from Drogheda is Old-bridge, where there is an obelisk erected in memory of the victory obtained there by William IIT. im 1690. At Grange, near Drogheda, there is a vaulted cave, in the form of a eross, with a gallery leading to it, eighty feet long. On the first discovery of this cave, a gold coin of the Emperor Valentinian was found in_ it, which, Dr. Llhwyd_ observes, ae bespeak it Roman, but that the rude carving at the en- try of the cave seems to denote it a barbarous monument. So, the coin proving it more ancient than any invasion of’ the Danes ; Sf) and the carving and rude schlh- ture, barbarous ; it should follow that it was some place of sacri- fice or burial of the ancient Irish. Half a mile beyond Drogheda, on the L. is Mell, the seat of Mr. Singleton. About midway between Drogheda and Dunleer, ‘the traveller may perceive on the W. side of this road, at a quarter of a mile’s daeinee the ancient tower of Monasterboice. Three miles from Drogheda is Torfeckan castle, belonging to the see of Armagh, and for- merly one of the seats of the Lord Primate, where he used to reside three months in the year. The famous Archbishop Usher was its last inhabitant. It is now quite neglected and gone to ruin, though pleasantly situated near the sea, by the side of a small river. When the town of ‘lor- feckan flourished, in which there ig now a very good old church, there were several small castles in its neighbourhood, some of which still remain. That of Glass-pistol is distant about two miles ; and a httle farther east- ward is a fine fishery, the charter of which, it is said, is, or was held, by the fishermen’s waiting- with their fish in the town of Torfeckan, till the lord of the castle was first served. ‘Tor- feckan, or, as it is otherwise called, Termonfeckan, lies to the N. of Bewly. The latter, which is seated near the mouth of the river, is a fine old seat of Mr. Montgomery, and was built by Sir Henry Tichborne, governor of Drogheda, whose son was created Lord Ferrard. Four miles from Drogheda, on the R, is Carterstown, the 7] seat of Mr. Blacker: near it is Rocksborough, the seat of Mr. Owens; and a mile distant, at the foot of a hill, is Stone-house, the seat of the late J. T’. Foster, Esq. near the ford of Longstones, To the R. of Dunleer, on a height, is Barmeath, the very fine seat, with extensive de- mesnes, of Sir Edward Bellew, Bart. There is at this gentle- man’s seat a pair of the hand- somest moose-deer horns in the kingdom, together with a skele- ton of the head. At what pe- riod the great deer ( called by the ancient Irish odmh dltd, or the wild ox) was first known here, or how long these stately animals remained in the king- dom before the species became extinct, is uncertain; but their skeletons are generally found in a stratum-of marle that has been covered with bog, On the see lands of the bishop of Dromore were found, in 1783, similar horns, which measured from tip to tip fourteen feet four. inches, as also almost the entire skeleton, in the most perfect pre- servation, of the enormous animal that wore them, who, from the length of the bones of his fore- leg, is judged to have been about twenty hands high. Two miles from Dunleer, on the R. is Drumear, a new-built Kouse of John M’Clintock, Esq. and a little farther, on the R, is Coolestown, the seat of Turner Camack, Esq. Near the sea side is also Maine, the seat of the Rev. Wil- liam Stafford. At Castle-Bellingham, on the L. is the seat of Henry Belling- cham, Esq, and on the R. Miles- To Dundalk, and Donaghadee. village. spreading elms in the kingdom is to be seen here. rs Castle-Bellingham is a pleasant One of the finest old Near Castle-Bellingham is Green-mount, a small village, in which was formerly a very strong camp. It is situated on the top of a fine green hill, and overlooks all that part of the country. There isa tumulus or barrow on it, which is probably the sepulchre of some celebrated warrior, such being commonly found in or near most forts and camps of any consequence, and known to have been erected by the Danes, _ Near a mile beyond Lurgan- green, on the L, is Clermont, a fine and delightful seat of the Earl of Clermont. Dundalk is a very large, anci- ent, and thriving town, with a wide street, near a mile long, and a very fine market-house, near the entrance from Dublin, In the reign of Edward IT, it was a royal city, and the last we read of, where a monarch of all Ireland was actually crowned, and resided. Jt was formerl very strong, and had many towers and small castles. Jt ig very advantageously situated for a most extensive inland trade, and the port is very safe for ship- ping. The bay has good moor- ings at all times, in four to up- wards of eight fathom water, with very good land-marks, elie ther for bringing up to, or making the harbour; and in crossing the bar at high water, or in ordinary neap tides, there are from fifteen to eighteen feet water, The only cambrick manufacture in Ireland is carried-on in this town.—It returns one member tg town, that of the Rev, Mr, Ogle, | the imperial parliament. 9] To Newry, and Donaghadee. [16 In the town of Dundalk is a seat of the late Earl of Clan- brassil, but now Lord Roden’s, having fine and spacious gardens belonging to it. Opposite to Jonesborough, on the R. is Ravensdale-park; the seat of W, C. Fortescue, Esq. these extensive and delightful de- mesnes were judiciously laid out, and finely cultivated, by’ the late Rt. Hon. James Fortescue. Newry is one of the most con- siderable towns in the county, and is seated on the Newry- water, made navigable by act of parliament, which is a bound- dary westward, — It is almost sur- rounded by mountains and rocky hills, except to the north and north-west, where a prospect opens into a_ good . “country, through which the canal is. car- ried, that runs to Lough-Neagh. In 1689, the Duke of Berwick burned this town, to secure his retreat to Dundalk from the English, under’ Duke” Schom- berg. ~It has been’ greatly im- proved since the’ settlement of the kingdom*in I691, and is now one of the largest and most ‘commercial towns in the county, A Cistertian abbey was founded here by Maurice MtLaughlain, monarch of all Ireland, about the middle of the eleventh century. There was also a college here consisting of a warden and vi- car’s choral, to whom Hen. VITI. granted a confirmation of their possessions.—Newry returns one member to the united parliament. Three miles and an half be- yond Newry, near Sheep-bridge, on the -R. is Maryville, the fine seat of Mr. Arbuckle ; 3 about half a mile beyond which is Tremont, the seat of Mr. Johnson. Loughbrickland. and Ban; bridge, two neat market towns, prseent themselves on this road. Dromore, seated on the river Lagan, is a very ancient market town, and a Bishop’s see - for further particulars of which see page 31, Within two miles of Dromore, onthe L, is Gilhall, the old seat and well planted demesne of the Countess of Clanwilliam. Hillsborough is pleasantly si- tuated, and almost newly built, much in the style of an English town, on a healthy, gravelly soil, im view of Lisburn, Bel- fast, the bay and town of Car- rickfergus, and commanding an extensive prospect of a 7a improved country, The Mase course is a mile north of the town, near the banks of the La- gan, Ai rising hill in the middle of the course, about two miles in circumference, affords a full view of the whole field, The church of Hillsborough is mags nificent, and coet the first Mar- quis of Downshire near 15,0001, The spire is as lofty as that of St. Patrick’s, Dublin, and much more elegant; it has also seven painted windows. There is a small castle or fort at Hillsbo- rough in perfect repair, in which were deposited the arms of the county. A very thriving manu- facture of muslins has been ine troduced into this town, under the patronage of the first Mar- quis of Downshire. whe pres sent Marquis has a fine demesne and neat villa here. Lisburn was burned upwards {of a century ago, but is rebuilt ina neat handsome manner, It has a large manufactory of linen> cloth. Since the union it returns one member to t he imperial paruia- ment, ; | 13] Half a mile beyond Lisburn, on the R. arethe ruins of Drum- boe church; and near them is Thornhill, Mr. Maxwell’s seat. A mile. farther, on the L. is Newgrove, the seat of Mr. M‘Neilv On the river Lagan, within two miles of Belfast, onthe R. is Belvoir, a most beautiful seat of Lord Dungannon. Two miles from Belfast is the village of Castlereagh ; it is the head of a manor belonging to the Marquis of Downshire, where his seneschal holds courts. The castle is seated on the top of a hill, and is one of those forts, the erection of which is usually ascribed tothe Danes. This fort has a fosse, which encompasses three-fourths of it, and anciently perhaps surrounded the whole. Belfast is a very well built town. strait, and the inhabitants, who amount to about 25,000, make it appear lively and busy. The public buildings are not nume- rous or very striking; but over the exchange there is an elegant. assembly-room, built by the late Marquis of Donegall, at the ex- pense of upwards of 20001. Two miles and a half beyond Belfast, on the L. is Belmont, the seat of Mr. Bamber; and near it, Castle-hill, that of Mr. Halliday ; and Thorny-hill, that of Mr. Mathers.

About two miles beyond Rush, on. the R. is Loughshinny, the seat of Mrs Dempsy: There is a fine harbour here, with a large pier, not yet finished, and which is highly deserving of public en- couragement ; as, at no’ conside- rable expense, it might be ren- dered extremely. serviceable to shipping, by affording them shel- ter from. storms and tempests in general, and particularly from the high south-east winds, which continually do such damage to our vessels in that quarter. At Loughshinny are to be seen mines of copper, worked by an English company. One mile and a half beyond.

A mile beyond Ballymascan- lan, on the R., is Bellurgan-park, the seat of Francis Tipping, Esq. and near it is a stone of most enormous size, incumbent upon three others. It is. thought to weigh between thirty and forty tons, ard by the inhabitants of the country is called the giant’s load. Not far from Mr. Tipping’s seat is a very old castle, called Castle-Rath. It appears to have -been an ancient dwelling of some person of distinction, and _pro- bably that of a bishop or abbot, if we may judge by the chapel adjoining it. It is situated on the plains betwixt the sea and the mountains of Carlingford ; and near it are several old forts or raths, such as the first invaders, or prime planters of the island are supposed to have inhabited. A few roods from it are the re- mains of a tumulus, or sepulchral mount ; and about a mile far- ther, towards the sea, stands the tower or castle of Ballug, an edifice of great magnificence and strength in former days, but now in ruins. On the R. after you pass the three mile river towards the sea, is Willville, the seat of Brabazon Brabazon, Esq.

[18 fine oysters that are taken near that place, which bear the name of Carlingford oysters. The har- bour is between three and four miles long, and as many broad, the water being every where very deep, so that the largest vessels may come there to ananchor. It is surrounded on all sides with high land and mountains, so that the ships are secured from the winds. ‘The entrance is, how- ever, full of rocks, and there being no considerable towns seated on the haven, it is not much fre- quented but by fishing boats. There is at Carlingford an old castle, called King’s-castle, and said to have been built by a King of England, about the reign of King Jcha, . and it is generally believed, it was built by order of that prince, when he was in this kingdom, about 1210. Formerly it must have been a very fine pile of building, and seems by its situation designed to defend a narrow pass at the foot of the mountains, close by the sea, where but a very few men can march abreast, dangerous rocks and a deep sea being below on one side, and very high moun- tains on the other, the least seven hundred yards perpendicular. The foundation of it is a solid rock, washed by the sea, and some of the wails are eleven feet thick. On one side of it there appears to have been a platform or battery, which might proba- bly have been adapted for the de- fence of the harbour. The old town of Carlingford seems to have been originally a collection of small castles, which appear to have been the common kind of habitations in this country,’ and the manner of building in those days; Dundalk formerly 19] To Downpatrick, having also been full of the like sort of dwellings. On the opposite end of the town to that of the castle, there are still to be seen the ruinous remains, of a fine monastery ; and not far from it, upon the summit of a neghbouring hill, a spacious bu- rying ground, and a little church or chapel adjoining it. By reason of the position and height of the neighbouring mountains, the in- habitants of the town, great part of the summer season, lose sight of the sun several hours before he sets in the horizon. Near this old castle is the seat of Ephraim Stannus, Esq. From Carlingford to Newry is a pleasant road, with grand prospects of the bay and moun- tains around it. Such vessels as cannot get up to Newry, load and unload at Rosstrevor and Warren’s-point. A mile from Warren’s-point is Narrow-water ; near which is Mount-Hall, ie seat of Savage Hall, Esq.

At one end of the street is asmall, decent church, built and furnished with suitable or- naments by the late John and Robert Hawkins Magill, Esqre. whose sole heiress, lady dowager Clanwilliam, is the present soe of this manor. And here the dissenters have a meeting-house ; and a little S. of the town is a small horse-course. On the summit of the hill are the ruins of an ancient castle, formerly one of the mansion-houses of the Magennises, Lords Iveach. Within three miles of Castle- wellan, on the L. is Fiilltown, a seat ot the oo of Down- shire. At Castlewellan are a park and plantations of Earl Annesley ; and two miles from it, on the R. is Bryan’s-ford, an elegant seat, | with very extensive demesnes, of the Earlof Roden. A little beyond is Slieve- Donard, one of the highest mountains in Ireland. On ‘the top of this lofty mountain are two amazingly large carns, or heaps of stones. In one of them there are apartments contrived for the priests to say mass in.— Such huge heaps of stones are to be met with in almost every It cannot be be 21] To Downpatrick, with certainty determined what these carns or.vast heaps owed their origin to. It is probable that some of them are funeral piles or monuments of the dead ; and that others were the works of old Irish Roman Catholics, who, upon certain days of the year, carried stones by way of penance to the top of some very high hill. Within a mile of Clogh, on the R. is Mount-panther, a fine seat of Earl Annesley; and a- bout half a mile on the R. of that, on a height, are the ruins of Dundrum-castle. : Near Clogh, on the R. is the seat of John Moore, Esq. - Two miles to the L. of Downpatrick is Hollymount, the seat of Cromwell Price, Esq. Downpatrick is a large bo- rough and market town on the S. W. branch of Strangford-lough. It is disténguished into several quarters, as the Irish quarter, the English quarter, the Scotch quarter. The diocesan school- house, the market-house, and the presbyterian meeting-house, are handsome _ buildings. A priory of regular canons, called the priory of the Irish, was founded at Downpatrick in the year 1138, by Malachy O*«Mor- gair, Bishop of Down: the priory of St. John the Baptist, called the priory of the English, as also an abbey for Cistertian monks, another for nuns of the _same order, a Franciscan friary, y and a lepers’ hospital, were founded here in the 12th century. On the N. W. side of the town is a large Danish rath, the co- nical height of which is 60. feet, and the circumference 2100 feet : it 4s surrounded by three great ramparts, one ef which is 3Q feet and Donaghadee. [22 broad, and the whole circuit of the works is three’quarters of a mile. It was made the see of a bishop ‘by St. Patrick, and has been united to the see of Connor ever since 1442. About a mile from it is a noted horse-course, where, pursuant to a_ charter granted by King James II. plates given by the corporation of horse- breeders are run for. The assizes are alivays held here, and there is lately erected one of the most beautiful and commodious court- houses in the kingdom, and also a new jail lilt at a conside- rable expense according te a plan of the celebrated Mr. Howard, It returns one member to the im- perial parliament. At Downpatrick are the ruins of an old cathedral, (said to have been built by St. Patrick, and in which his remains are reported to be deposited,) which have been lately partly repaired and partly rebuilt at the expense of 60001. raised by subscription, to which his Majesty gave a do- nation of 1000]. and to which the late Marquis of Downshire and his father were very boun. tiful benefactors; an act of parlia- ment was passed for the purpose, which endowed the cathedral with 300]. per ann. for a choir, organist, &c. It is finished in the gothic style, and is one of the most beautiful buildings in the kingdom.

Near Portaferry is the seat of Patrick Savage, Esq. whose an- cestors have been possessors -of the town and adjacent country since the conguest of Ulster by De Courcy, Lord Kinsale, and Earl of Ulster. Three miles N. of Portaferry, near Strangford-lough, is Castle- buy, or Johnstown, In the twelfth century, Hugh De Lacie founded here the commandery of St. John the Baptist.

From Portaferry to Grey- abbey, and thence to Newtown, which is five miles and a half, the road runs along the coast, commanding a fine view of Strangford-lough, and the op- posite shore. Strangford-lough was former- ly called Lough-Cone. It is a deep bay, or inlet of the sea, about seventeen miles long, and between four and five broad. It goes W. as far as Down- patrick, and N. as far as Cum- ber and Newtown. The coasts of this lake are shelving and beautiful, and interspersed with a great many pleasant islands, on which is exceeding good graz- ing for cattle, This lough, and all the coasts here, hostel with excellent fish, particularly smelts ; and off the bar there is a perio-~ dical herring fishery, in or about August. ~ The bar, or entrance into this lough is about three miles below Strangford. There is a long rock at the dain in the mid- dangerous to strangers, on account of the force of the current; yet there is a | broad passage on either side, and ceep water, The current here is very strong and rapid, running at the rate of six or seven miles an hour There are but few vessels that go higher up than A good many vete 25) To Killough, &c. sels, bound up the channel, put in here, if the wind is unfavoura- ble to their passage, Within a mile of Donaghadee, onthe L. are the ruins of the church of Temple-Patrick ; and about halfa mile farther, to the L. and nearer to Donaghadee, is the seat of Mr. M*Minn.

The town is agreeably situated, the sea flowing all along the backs of the houses, where ships ride in full view of the inhabitants. There is here a decent church and ahorse barrack, They have good fishing in the bay; but the principal trade of the place | consists in the exportation of barley, and the importation of such commodities as are con- sumed in the adjacent country. A manufacture of salt is also car- ried on here with great advan- tage. Ata small distance from the town is a charter working school, for the reception of twenty children, Some of the boys are employed in making fishing-nets ; a few of the more robust are fitted for the sea, and the rest apprenticed to protestant farmers and __ linen-weavers.— There is a remarkable well here called St.’ Scordin’s well. It is highly esteemed for the extra- ordinary lightness of its water. [26 It gushes out of a high rocky bank, close upon the shore, and is observed never to diminish its quantity in the driest seasons, There is also a mineral spring near the charter-school, the waters of which the inhabitants affirm to be both purgative and emetic. At a small distance from the town, near the sea, ig a rock, in which there is an oblong hole, from whence, at the ebbing and flowing of the tide, a strange noise is heard, somewhat resembling the sound of a huntsman’s horn; at the coming in of the tide, while the waters are beating up under the rock, a cold air bursts from it with a mixture of spray; but, as the waters retire during. the ebb, there is a strong suction like that of an air-pump. Ia an open field, about a quarter of a mile from the town, towards St. John’s point, thereis a very curi- ous cave, which has a winding passage two feet and an half broad, with three doors in it besides the entrance, and leading toa circular chamber three yards < . . = rs f in diameter, where there is a fine cool limpid well.

Dromore, asin p.1 | — | -66 Ballynahinch, Down | 8 74 Saintheld 4 78 Cumber 6 84 Newtownardes Shi fa: Bit Dromors, the seat of a bishop- rick, is a very ancient town, which is now reviving, in con- sequence of the late removal of the bishop’s residence hither from Maralin. Near adjoining to it is Diomore-house, built by the Rt. Hon. and Rev. Dr. Beresford, then Bishop of Dromore, in 1781, in the midst of a large improv- ing demesne; this is a very an- ient see, founded by St. Colman, in the sixth century. It was re- founded by King James I. who, by his charters (now preserved in the Rolls office) granted it very great and uncommon pri- vileges. In his first charter (anno 7mo Regni Jac.) the king res- tores the see of Dromore, toge- ther with those of Down and Connor, establishing the ecclesias- tical government of each, with To Ballynahinch, Newtownardes, and Glenarm. [32 their respective cathedrals, deans, and chapters, under the titles of the church, &c. of the Holy Tri- nity of Downe, of St. Saviour of Connor, and of Christ the Redeemer of Dromore. This charter, al- though so important, is wholly ommitted and unnoticed by Ware and Harris, in their voluminous history, 2 vols. fol. In his sub- sequent charters, wholly con- fined to the see of Dromore, the king establishes its patronage and endowment, and describes and settles the manor of Dromore, with very ample jurisdiction and pecuhar privileges. © Among other marks of royal favour, he distinguishes the bishops of this see by the style of «A. B. by | Divine Providence’ Bishop of Dromore ;”? whereas all other Bishops in Ireland, except those of Meath and Kildare, are styled. ‘“‘ by Divine Permission.” Upon the whole, this see, although the least in its extent, is so complete and perfect in its endowment and jurisdiction, that it need not envy the greatest and most -opu- lent. In Dromore are the remains of a small castle or tower, pro- bably the ancient residence of the bishops ; and at the east end, be- tween the road and the river, is ahigh rath, or seat of an ancient castle, of considerable size ; hence this town had probably its name, Druim mor, i. e. the great ridge or hill.

Here is the skeleton of a fine house, built by Lord Chichester in the reign of James I. an old Gothic church, with many family monuments, and a very large old castle. In 1282, a monastery of Franciscan | friars was erected here, but it is | a matter of uncertainty who was the founder ; in 1512, this mo- ‘nastery was in such repute, that a general chapter of the order was held in it. At the general suppression of religions houses this monastery and its possessions were granted to Sir Edmond Fitzgerald, . who assigned them to Sir Arthur Chichester, ancestor to the Marquis of Donegall, This nobleman, who was several times Lord-Deputy of Ireland, erected a noble castle on the site of this monastery, about the year 1610.

In the church-yard are two very old and curious crosses, one about eighteen feet high, on all sides fuil of sculpture, called St. Boyn’s cross. It is said to be all of one stone, to have been sent froin Rome, and erected by order of the Pope. Near this are the ruins of the beautiful and cele- brated abbey of Mellefoat.

It is now all planted with wood, and looks very romantic. The perpendicular height of the mount from the. bed of its foundation is near ninety feet, and the depth of the main trench betwixt thirty and forty. The circumference at the top is not less than an hundred and forty, and round the toun- dation upwards of six hundred feet. There appear to have been, from foundations yet remaining, two concentric octagonal build- ings upon the summit of it.— One seems to have been a sort of tower or castle; the other a kind of breastwork or gallery, by way of parapct or battlements. These mounts were raised for various purposes. Our best writers agree that the Danes were the original authors of them. Somé of them were for forts to retire to in times of danger; some were raised as memorials of battles fought ; some were as monuments of bu- rials for persons of note slain in the field; and others were for assemblies of the people to de- bate on public or private affairs.

Ballymore-Eustace is a small town, pleasantly situated on the - Liffey, with a handsome bridge over the river; it was formerly of much largerextent. Its decay chiefly arose from the turning the great southern road from | tential votaries ; and Leighlin-Bridge. [384 this town to Kileullen-bridge. Near ihis town on the R. is POLL A-PHUCA: or, the Demon’s-hole, being a grand waterfall formed from the head of the river Liffey, that rises from the Wicklow- mountains, and here divides the counties of Wicklow and Dub- lin. It belonged to the late Earl. of Milltown ; where his lord- ship displayed great’ taste and judgment in forming and im- proving the several walks lead- ing to this beautiful water-fall 5 and is justly entitled to the thanks of the public, for the pelite at- tention paid to strangers who visit this natural curiosity, © as well as for the accommodation of the caves and grottos for their several dining parties in the sum- mer season. ‘On the R. of Ballymore-Eus- tace is Broomfield, a seat of Lord _Mount-Cashel; a mile beyond | which is Ardnowd, the seat of Mr. Burrowes.

The appearance is such, as if part of the moun- tain had, by some accident, been undermined, and that the mass of rock, which filled up and formed the ridge, had tumbled m. In passing through the hol- low, vast fragments of broken rocks are seen on either hand, loosely thrown together; the larger fragments lie at the bot tom, and close to the road, the smaller stones remaining in heaps above. The sides of the chasm are not perpendicular, but slope from the top considerably : the space therefore between the sum+ mits is much wider than at the base, where the road runs.

You enter it be- tween two vast masses.of moun- tains covered with wood, form- ing a vale scattered with trees, through which flows a river on a broken, rocky channel.

This hor- rid precipice, the pointed bleak mountains in view, with the roar of the water, all conspire to raise one great emotion of the sublime. You advance scarce- ly twenty yards beforé a pleasant scene opens to the L.a distant landscape of enclosures, with a river winding between the hills to the sea. Passing to the R. fresh scenes of wood appear ; half-way to the bottom, one dif- ferent from the preceding is seen : You are almost enclosed in wood, andloek tothe R. through some low oaks, on the opposite banks of verdant scenery, with an edg- ing of trees through which the sky is seen, which, added to an uncommon elegance in the out- line of the hill, has a most agreeable effect. Winding down to a thatched bench on a rocky point, you look upon an uncem- mon scene: Immediately — be- neath is a vast chasm in the rock, which seems torn asunder, to let the torrent through that comes tumbling over a rocky bed far sunk in a channel em- bosomed in wood. Above is the range of a gloomy obscure forest, which half overshadows it, and, rising to a vast height, excludes every, object. . ‘To the.

The shade is so thick as to ex- clude the heavens ; all is retired and gloomy, a brown horror breathing over the whole. It isa spot for melancholy to muse in. A little beyond Powerscourt, on the R. is Charleville, the seat of Lord Monk ; and on the L: Bushy-park, that of Wiliam Colthurst, Esq. Three miles and a quarter be- yond Powerscourt, on the R. is Whitehall, the seat of Mr. Whitmore ;- two miles and a half farther, Fairview, that of A. Price, Esq. and a mile and a half farther, on the R. is Round- wood, the seatof Mr Synge. Five miles beyond Powers- court, is Lake-Tay. Within six miles of Rath- drum, onthe R. is Castle-Kevice, the seat of Mr. Frizell; and within one mile of Rathdrum, on the R. are the ruins of a castle. About five miles N. W. of Rathdrum is Glendalogh, or the Seven churches. Glendalogh li- terally signifies the valley of the two lakes, and in the bull of pope Lucius III. was called Epis- copatus Insularum, the bishop- ric of the isles. Glendalogh was an ancient episcopal see, and a well inhabited city, till about 1214, when the see was annexed to the diocese of Dublin, and the city, memorable for its re- ligious edifices, not only suffered by decay, but insensibly became a receptacle for outlaws and rob- bers. The archbishops of Dub- 397] Description of the Seven Churches. [398 lin could not obtain quiet posses- sion till 1479, in which year, on the 30th of May, a surrender was made in the cathedral of St. Patrick, Dublin, by friar Dennis White, who had long usurped that see in opposition to the ré- gal authority. From this era Glendalogh has continued a de- sert. Here the mountains cast a melancholy gloom on the infe- rior valley, contracting every prospect; and so awful, so ve- nerable is the scene, that, even to a momentary beholder, it ap- pears as if formed for the study of the eremetic life. Such was the situation chosen by St. Coem- gene, or Keivin, who was des- cended from a noble family, and was born A. D. 498. This. salut received the sacrament of baptism from the hands of St. Cronan, a priest ; and at the age ef seven years he was placed under the care and tuition of Petrocus, a Briton, who had passed many years in this king- dom for the exercise of learning. Under this reverend man St. Keivin continued till 510, when his parents Coinlogh and Coem- hella, sent him to the cell of Dogain, Lochan, and Aineas or Enna, three holy anchorites, with whom he studied a consi- derable time, previous to ‘his embracing the monastic profes- sion; after which he took on him the cowl, and retired to these wilds, where he wrote many learned works, particu- larly the life of St. Patrick, and where he founded ‘his abbey. He died on the third of June, 615, at the age of 120. On the third of June annually numbers of persons flock te the Seven churches, to celebrate the festival of the esteemed and venerated St. Keivin. St. Molibba, the son of Coeltigerna, who was sister to St. Keivin, was his im- -mediate successor, and died on the eighth of January, ‘but the year is unrecorded. The ruins of this abbey are situated in the bottom of the vale, and consist of two buildings parallel to each other, the larger one on the S. being the church. On the L. end of the abbey is an arch, of extremely curious workmanship. The columns on the sides recede one behind another, and are very short, but do not diminish. The capitals are ornamented in a sin- gular manner, most of them with human heads. at the angles, and figures of dragons, or other fabulous animals at the sides. The ring-stones of the arch are indented triangularly, in imita- tion of the Saxon architecture, and in some parts human heads or other ornaments are within the triangular mouldings. On the removal of some heaps of rubbish from under the ruins of this arch, a few stones beauti- fully carved were found, many of them belonging to the arches, and some to the architrave of the window. Tbe next edifice is called the Church of the Trinity, and stands on a rising ground, N. of the abbey. In the front of this church is a/ circular building up- on a square base, which evidently was intended for a belfry, a suf- ficient space being left for the rope to come down. Hence we came to the Seven Churches, for which Glendalogh has been for many centuries remarkable, and for which it will be celebrated, even when the vestiges vow re- maining areno more. ‘The en- trance to the area, on which yA a Oe 399] these churches stand, is on the N. E. side, through the ruins of a gateway sixteen feet six inches in leigth, and sixteen feet in width. The arches, which are stili entire, are nine feet seven inches wide, and ten feet high, and the rig-stenes, of mountain granite, are the full depth of the wall, The outside arch is com- of twenty-four stones, and the inside one of twenty-seven, which are two feet six inches in depth. Ze Cathedral church ranks as the first, and owes its origin to St. Keivin, by whom it was dedicated to the patron saints of the abbey. It measures forty- eight feet im length, and thirty in width. Under a small window, at the Ss side of the choir, is a tomb of freestone, ornamented, and in the cemetery stands a round tower, a hundred and ten feet high, uncommonly well built, and in fine preservation, the roof alone having suffered by time. At the bottom it mea- sures fifty-two feet in girth, and the walls are four feet thick. The remains of several crosses may still be seen amongst these ruins; and that situated in the cemetery of this church particu- larly merits notice, being one entire stone, eleven feet in height. 2. St. Keivin’s Kitchen (its vulgar appellation) was undoubtedly one of the Seven Churches, and is now almost entire, having suf- fered little, except in the ruin of a window, the only one in the church ; this was placed about eight feet from the S, E. angle, and was ornamented with an ars chitrave elegantly wrought, but eing of freestone, it was con- veyed away by the neighbour- ing mbabitants, and brayed to The j were found, with curious em- powder for domestic use. Description of the Seven Churches. [400 area of this church measures twenty-two feet nme inches by fifteen, in height it is twenty feet, and the walls are three feet six inches in thickness. At the E. end is an arch five feet three inches in width, which commu- nicates to another building ten feet six in length, by nine feet three in width ; on the N. side of which is a door two feet two - inches wide, which communi- cates with another chapel of the same length, and seven feet nine inches wide. . Each of these buildings has a small window fn the centre to the E. the walls are three feet thick, and both mea. sure twelve fect m height. 3, Our Lady’s Church, the most west- ward of the seven, is nearly op- posite to the cathedral. Itis now almost in rus; but, from the deor-way, and the few remains of walls, it appears to have been built with more knowledge of architecture than the other build- ings. 4, Another of the churches is called Fhe Rhefeart, i. e. the sepulchre of kings, and is fa- mous for haying had several prin- ces imterred within its limits. In this church is the tomb of M<‘Thuhal, or O’ Toole, the an- cient chieftain of the country. Many others of this family are said to have been imterred here, where a stone cross, elegantly carved, is still preserved. 5. The Priory of St, Saviour, commonly called the Eastern Church. Of this building little can be said, the foundation only remaining : but about five years since, a quan- tity of stone, remarkably well wrought, was discovered here; and on removing a heap of rub- bish, the collection of many cen- turies, two clusters of columns 4or] blematic decorattons, which had supported a great fretted arch, composed of the before-menti- oned stones, which led to the discovery. 6. The Ivy Church is situated ssomewhat to the west- ward, and has lurge breaches in its walls, long since overgrown with ivy. Nothing worthy of rethark can be found in this build- ing, which is entirely unroofed. 7. Feampull na Sheilig, situated in the reeess of the S. mountain, was the ancient Priory of the Rock, and was also called the Temple of the Desert, both ex- pressive of the Irish appellation. The celebrated Bed of St. Keivin, on the S. side of the lough, is a cave; hewn in the solid rock, on the side’ of the mountain, ex- ceeding. difficult in ascent, and terrible’ in. prospect ;. for it hangs perpendicular over the lake, at an alarming height above the surface of the’ water. At a small distance from this’ bed, on the same side’ of the mountain, are to be seen the ruins of a small stone building, called St. Keivin’s-cell. Near a mile beyond Rath- drumt, on’ the L. is Avondale, the seat of the late Saniuel Hayes, Esq. whose elegant taste, and unceasing attentions, during’ a constant residence of above thirty years, have added to the natural beauties. of this. delightful place every embellishment which chaste and judicious art can) bestow. Having’ died’ without issue, he bequeathed this seat and his other estates to the late Right Hon. Sir John Parnell. This charm- ig place: is proudly situated on the banks of. the Avonmere, which name, signifying «The great winding stream,’ corres- ponds most happily with its. cha- To Rathdrum, &e. [402 racter ; the banks continually forming the finest waving lines, either covered with close coppice wood, or with scattered oak and ash of considerable growth ; the ground, in some places smooth meadow or pasture, and, in o- thers, rising into romantic cliffs and craggy precipices. ‘I'he do- main of Avondale enjoys this di- versity of scenery in the highest perfection. ‘The house, which has heen built within a few years by colonel. Hayes near the old seat, is large and remarkably well finished : on the front and one side lies a smooth lawn, spot- ted with clumps and single trees, genily rising to a hill, crowned with large beech and remarkable well-growing fir, particularly the spruce, whose branches hang to the ground in a very picturesque manner: on the back of the house the ground, in some parts, slopes down with a gentle decli: vity, in others, falls in steep. and abrupt. precipices, covered with old oak, the roots of many of which are one hundred feet per- pendicular over the tops of others; whilst the grotesque forms of the rocks, covered with ivy and moss-grown roots, vie with the variety of natural wood- flowers and several curious plants, to render the scenery at once'plea- sing and romantic : a walk. winds down through this. wood and some plantations of very large Weymouth pine and larch, to a vale of considerable breadth; on the farther side ot which the Avonmore sometimes glides with a smooth and gentle current, aud; az others, dashes over huge mass; ses of rock and broken granite, with the foam and rage of @ cataract : onthe other side, the banks rise to.a great height, . co- Dd See Oy 03] To Rathdrum, &c. [404 vered thickly with oak-woods, here and there indented by the meadows of two adjoining farms. This dale extends above four miles, with every possible varia- tion of form; the woods, in some parts, closing up to the ri- ver ; in others, receding so as to leave meadows of several acres on its banks: where the natural wood has been too thin, the pro- prietor spared no expense to sup- ply the defect with every foreign and domestic tree, which suited the soil and climate ; and perhaps no part of Europe admits of a greater variety than this part of the county Wicklow. A car- riage-road is conducted a consi- derable way, with attention to the surrounding views; and, a- bout a mile from the house, ad- joining a wood-ranger’s lodge in a most sequestered spot, is a room, in the form of an old English cot- tage, for dining in, on rural par- ties : it is built close to the river, over a remarkable deep and so- lemn part, backed by a rock above thee hundred feet high; his rug- ged cliffs, fringed with oak, quicken and holly, the bold con- tour of the surrounding wooded hills, the picturesque simplicity of the rustic edifice, and the remark- able burst of the torrent fromunder the high rock, like the Sorga in the valley of Vaucluse, ‘ which, indeed, this spot in many partt- culars resembles,’ have never fail- ed to give perfect satisfaction to the admirers of nature and her romantic scenery. From _ the wood-house the drive is continued through woods to the bridge at the meetings of the water, at a- bout two miles distance, where it falls into the high road to Ark- low. Inno part of the county of Wicklow is its peculiar and characteristic style of beauty more strikingly exemplified, than in the course of this valley from Rathdrum to Arklow ; for a dis- tance of about nine miles, nothing can exceed the romantic gran- deur of the scenery, enriched with luxuriant woods, which co- ver for the most part the declivi- ties of steep hills, bounding the valley on either side. A strong contrast is, in some parts, formed by the savage appearance of wild barren rocks, more. particularly near the copper-mines of Crone- bawn and Ballymurtagh, which lie on different sides of the river, nearly opposite to each other. The noxious mineral vapours, destructive of vegetation, give to this region an air of horror and sterility ; but, quitting soon this desert scene, the eye is relieved by the brightest tints, and highest luxuriance of foliage. On one promontory, formed by the con- flux of the Avoca with a moun- tain stream, from Aghrim op- posite to the woods of Ballyar- thur, is a point of view, perhaps excelled by none in any country. From this. remarkable spot, no less than five distinct valleys, or glens, may be seen, all bearing some features of resemblance ; yet each so distinguished by pe- culiar and appropriate beauties, that no person, whose mind. has any perception of the sublime or the beautiful, has ever beheld this magnificent scene without astonishment and admiration.— The een and principal view is the valley from thence to Ark- low, which in a course of above three miles, gradually expands ; the hills receding, and suffering the level ground, through which the river irregularly winds its course, to extend to the breadth 405] of half a mile; the cultivation increasing as the town is ap- proached, and the wild rude scenery of a sequestered forest by degrees softening into the milder one of rural labour and cultivation. The town of Ark- To Rathdrum, &c. low, and its old ruined castle, standing proudly on an eminence over the river, which discharges itself through a bridge of nine- teen arches, have a grand and picturesque appearance, while an extensive sea view, covered for the most part with fishing ves- sels, terminates the prospect. The promontery, for whence this scene is best viewed, will further interest the antiquarian, from the circumstances of the late learned bishop Pococke, well known for his travels in the East, having observed on seeing it, that the abrupt steeps and deep glens all around bore the most striking resemblance to the view which presents itself from the hill of Mount Sion, at Jerusalem. The new road, called the lower one, (the old one running over the hill on the opposite side of the river) which has been made through this valley, by render- ing it accessible, affords to tra- vellers an opportunity of con- templating its various beauties, which, until then, were scarcely known to any but the neighbour- ing gentlemen. This road winds through Lord Carysfort’s woods, by the .banks of the river, some- times along an open savannah, at others by a passage cut out of the solid rock; from different parts of it may be seen on the opposite side to the highest ad- vantage the very fine seats of Ballyarthur and Shelton (men- tioned before) each magnificently adorned with wood, the former SESS ES EY ee EEEEEEEnaeees - = [406 remarkable for the finest growth of oak in this part of Ireland ; the latter, fora number of beech of uncommon magnitude and grandeur, measuring from twelve to sixteen feet in circumference. In the year 1796, his Excellency Earl Camden, and Mr. Pelham, attracted by the fame of the gold mines, then recently discovered, passed some days in this part of the country ; this remarkable valley engaged their particular attention, and they were pleased to express their highest admira- tion of its transcendent beauty atid magnificence. On the road from Avondale to the meetings of the water lies Casina, an elegant lodge of Mrs. Hayes, sen. and Kingstor, a pleasant seat and finely improved farm of Thomas King, Esq. About a mile beyond the bridge, on the R. hand, are the copper-mines of — Ballymurtha, Ballygahan, and Kilcashel. On the opposite side of the ri- ver Avonmore, or Avoca, as it is called after it meets the Avon- beg, lie the mines of Cronebawn. A stream strongly impregnated with vitriolic water flows from these mines, which is received into a number of stone cisterns, in which a quantity of iron be- ing deposited, the vitriolic parti- cles are attracted by it and leave a sediment of copper, which is vulgarly called a transmutation of metals, and to the unphiloso- phic eye presents a_ spectacle nearly miraculous. But, though this mineral stream affords a con- siderable profit to the proprietors, it is extremely injurious to the neighbourhood, by entirely de- stroying a very fine salmon fish- ery at Arklow, which, before the working of these mines, al- —_— yy 4 . 407] To Rathdrum, &c. : [4038 most equalled any in the king- dom ; as, from the place where this poisonous stream enters the river, to the town of Arklow where it runs into the ‘sea, a space of five or six miles, the fish are almost all destroyed. Beyond the copper mines about a mile, on the L. lies Cherry- mount, the seat of Mr. Boulger ; and about a mile farther, on the L. is Ballyarthur, the seat of the Rev. James Symcs, with a ve beautiful and well-wooded de- mesne; following the course of the river, and about two miles arther, towards the town of Arklow, is Shelton, the noble seat of Lord Viscount Wicklow.* At the remarkable promon- tory described ‘above, a road branches off to the town of Agh- rim, where it meets the Rath- drum-road ; it passes by Clone, the seat of Charles Coates, Esq. a gentleman who has justly ob- tained the character of one of the most spirited and judicious im- provers in the county, having brought into perfect cultivation | from_ nearly a state of nature, a great extent of country. But what will ever render this part of the county of Wicklow memorable is the sxemarkable and unexpected discovery of a mine of gold, which lies at the foot of the mountain Croghan, about half a mile to the L. of this road from Arklow to Agh- rim. The following short ac- count-of the discovery and other circumstances belonging to this natural and national curiosity will not be unacceptable. | The precise time and mode of discovery are enveloped in some mystery, from the caution with which the persons whose for- tune it was to make it, endea- voured to conceal, it in order to appropriate the treasures it con- tained. Fiction has supplied the want of authentic information, and many extravagant atid con- tradictory tales have been circu- lated on the subject. From the best accounts that can be obtained, the discovery was accidentally made by a peasant of the neigh- bourhocd, about twelve or four- teen years ago, who, while ‘fish- ing in the small stream that runs through the valley, perceived a shining substance in the water, which proved to be a piece of gold: he naturally was induced to make further search, and meet- ing some success, continued this gainful employment for several years, selling his treasure pri- vately to a goldsmith in Dublin. At length, in September, 1795, (as sooner or later must have hap- pened) his frequent devotions to the Naiads of the stream at- tracted attention, and chance or curiosity detected the real object of his worship. The astonishing discovery caused an immediate and general sensation through the country: all the lower class of people, of every sex and age, were busied in. exploring this gol- den mountain, from the labourer who could wield a spade or pick- axe, tothe child who scraped the surface of the rock with a rusty nail, all were employed daily, to the number of some thousands in the search of gold ; all rural la- bour was of course suspended : fortunately the harvest had been previously gathered in, other- wise the country had dearly pur- chased.its golden treasures. The goverment, justly aware of the loss to cultivation, and the dan- gerous temptation held out to the idle and profligate, to assemble 409] and make this a place of ren- dezvous, sent a detachment of the army totake possession of the mine on the part of the crown ; since that, an act of ‘parliament has been passed, granting the sum of 10001. for the purpose of making a fair experiment of its probable value. The work has been conducted with great judg- ment and accuracy by the com- missioners, Abraham Mills and Thomas King, Esqrs. anda re-: turn made considerably greater than sufficient to defray the ex- penses ; but hitherto, no appear- ance has been discovered which indicates a bed or great deposit of gold, or affords any prospect of its being an object of national importance. The gold is found in marshy spots, in the bed, and by the side of a small stream, in a gravelly stratum, and in the clifts of the rock which lies beneath, in pieces of all forms and sizes, from a mass which weighed twenty-two ounces Avoirdupois, down to the smallest perceptible particles. The sand and mud is also im- pregnated with gold dust in a certain degree, and after being carefully washed in_ successive cisterns, during which process the larger pieces are detected, it is lastly taken mito a sieve, which being for some time whirled about. with a rotatory motion, the gold is found collected in the centre. The great piece men- tioned above, which weighed twenty-two ounces, was disco- vered while the mine was open to the public; it was found by eight poor labourers, who had agreed to join shares in the search. They sold it for about eighty guineas. ‘This piece, which may justly be considered as a great To Rathdrum, and Tullow. [410 natural curiosity, 1s very irregu- — larly formed; it measures four inches in its greatest length, and three in breath ; its thickness is variable, from half an inch to aninch. A cast of it gilt is de- posited in the College Museum. On the Tullow-road, two miles distant from Rathdrum, at Bal- lynaclash, there was formerly one of the most considerable iron- works in the kingdom : there is still a good foundery there ; but, the scarcity of wood-fuel, which such works must naturally occa- sion in any country, has been the cause of the decline of this, and other works of the same kind, in different parts of Ireland. - From this town a road has been pro- jected and carried into execution. by the spirited exertions of the gentlemen of the neighbourhood, along the banks of the rapid A- vonbeg, in order to forma com- munication between the sea side and the Baltinglass side of the county, through Glen-Molaur.. At about three miles from Bal- lynaclash you enter this cele- brated glen, once the asylum and great fastness of Feagh M’Hugh’ O’Bryn, (celebrated by Spencer, ) when he kept the highest powers of this county at bay, in the reign of queen Elizabeth. It has since passed “into different proprietors, hands, the principal of whom are the Earl of Moira and the late Colonel Hayes on one side, and the Earl of Meath and Lord Malden on the other. It is a valley of considerable length and great depth, rude and uncultivated to the last degree, except a little rich lawn through which the river meanders, and which, though very narrow, forms, by its verdure and flat- ness, a beautiful and romantic ao 1] contrast with the stupendous broken rocks or steep mountains which environ it : in some places they actually overhang; and, being covered with short smooth grass, cattle, grazing too near the edge, have frequently ship- ped down the precipice, and been killed by the fall. The glen is terminated by a rugged ascent, formed of huge pieces of rock loosely thrown together. The ascent opens into an afaple cove, or kind ef amphitheatre, from the top af which descends a wa- terfall, that feeds the stream be- low. ‘This waterfall, though in- considerable in dry seasons, after heavy rains becomes a_ cataract, and adds greatly to the romautic wildness of the scene. From this valley the road is continued with as easy an ascent as the nature of the ground ad- mits, and is of great advantage. Two miles and a half from Rathdrum, on the L. is Whaley- Abbey, formerly the seat of the late Richard Chapel Whaley, Esq. Four miles beyond Aghnm, on the R. close to the road is Ballybeg; the seat of the Rev. Richard Symes. Two miles and a half beyond Hacketstown, on the L. close to the road, and situated in the midst of trees, are the ruins of Clonmore-castle ; and two miles farther, on the R. is Lisnavaugh, the seat of Mr. Bunbury ; and about a mile farther, Paulville, the seat of Mr. Paul. Tullow is situated on the river Slaney, and has a bridge . with six arches, at the foot of which are the rnins of an Augustine monastery. Here is a small church, and a pretty market- house. It was in Oliver Crom- ‘To Rathfarnham, &c. [412 well’s time a strong place, com- manded by colonel Butler ; but Oliver took it, with great slaugh- ter of the Irish. DUBLIN to Rathfarnkham — 23 At Rathfarnham, on the L. is the castle, a noble mansion, with fine and extensive demesnes, the seat of the Marquis of Ely. There is here a remarkable fire green-house for exotic plants, and an aviary, containing a va- riety of curious birds. ‘There is also a good collection of pictures, formed .by Nicholas, the first Earl of Ely. George Grierson, Esq. has also a fine seat, near the fish ponds, -at Rathfarnham. Within a mile and a half of Rathfarnham, road leading to Kilmashogue, lies Marlay, the seat of the Right Hon. David La Touche. This gentleman, not content with in- troducing among his countrymen an example of the most impro- ved husbandry, has given in this delightful spot a model of what refined taste, with ample means to gratify it, can effect, by en- riching the beauties of nature. The approach to this place is ro- mantically beautiful. A wind- ing stream to the R. and a church- yard with its ivy’d ruins, situ- ated ona small eminence beyond the demesne, forma scene truly pleasing to the eye of contem- plation. The farm and pleasure grounds, which are highly dress- ed and richly planted, are agree- ably broken by several spacious pieces of water, falling in beau- tiful succession, and which have been conveyed from the neigh- bouring streams with great art, at a considerable expense. The oe on the L. of the 413] whole is so judiciously and hap- pily disposed, as to form a vari- ety of the most picturesque views; nor is it one of the least charms of this delicious retreat, that the adjacent mountains gently undulating from E. to W. whilst they form a bold and spa- cious amphitheatre around it, compel the eye to return and fix itself on objects capable of affording the minute observer pleasures ever various and ‘ever new.

Alse, a very hand- some church, belonging to the united parishes of Monkstown, Dalkey and Killeny. At Bullock, about one mile tothe L. is Bullock-castle; and near it is a singular piece of Druidical antiquity, called a rocking stone. About two miles and a half be- yond the Black rock, and seven miles and a quarter from Dub- lin, is the little romantic village of Dalkey, situated at the north- jern base of a high mountain, _ commanding a beautiful. view of the bay of Dublin. On the L. is the seit of John Patricksor, Esq. also the remains of seven castles and anold church. This village, in the reign of queen Elizabeth, and during a great part of the last century, before the port of Dublin was impro- ved, was the repository of the goods belonging to the mer- chants of Dublin; and the ruins still remaining of the seve» ralold castles, places of defence against the incursions of . the - pirates, who at that period swarmed on the Irish coast. To the S$. E, of Dalkey is an extensive common, bounded by the bay of Dublin and the Irish channel. From its wild but beautiful situation, and its vici- nity ta the capital, it isa favou- Ee 419] . rite retreat for parties of recrea- tion in the summer months. About five hundred yards to the N. E. of this common is the island of Dalkey ; it is divid- ed from the main land by a channel, called the sound -of Dalkey ; in which sound, where there is never less than eight fathom water at the lowest tide, ships of the greatest burden may safely lie at anchor, per- fectly screened from the N. E. winds, unto which every other ‘part of the bay is exposed. It is really a public loss, that there is hot a commodious port built here for the accomodation of passengers to and from Holy- head; as they are frequently necessitated to remain on board for several hours, in the mouth of the harbour, ’till the return of the tide, which is ‘more disa- grecable to passengers than the voyage itself : whereas the pac- quets. might here always lie afloat, sail at any hour, and thar at a moment’s warning, with this very considerable at.van tage, that they could often make their passage to Holyhead, before the pacquets, from their present moorings, could get clear of the bay of Dublin. Dalkey-~sland contains about eighteen acres, is fertile in grass, and esteemed a most excellent salt marsh. for all kinds of cattle: sheep, im particular, soon grow fat, ‘and the flesh acquires there a peculi- ar fine flavour. Witt plenty of herbage, the island produces some medicinal plants. The only building in the island is the ruin of an old church. Wher the city of Dublin was anciently visited by the plague, traditio- nary accounts say, the citizens To Daikey, and Bray. [420 to escape that dreadful calam- ity. At Cabinteely, about half a mile from Rechestown, on the R, is the seat of Mr. Dwyer. At Brenanstown, about a mile on the same side, is the seat of Mr. Purdon ; and, in a glen ad- joining, is a superb cromleach, supposed to have been a druidical altar or tomb. On Loftus-hill, half a mile beyond Rochestown, on the L. is the seat of Mr. Minchin ; also, ‘alofty obelisk, on the summit of the hill. At Mount-Druid,:on the R. of Killeny-hill, is the seat of Mr. Wilson; also,. a druid’s- temple, or place of worship, a curious piece of antiquity ; and a banguetting-room, im the Go- thie style, not unfrequently mis- -taken for an old castle.

Besides a decent: church, a new Romish chapel, and a good bar- rack, the town contains several lodging-houses, and is — sur- rounded by some gentlemen’s seats, not unworthy of notice. Here are held two annual fairs, at which are sold large quantitics of frize and flannel, together with some black cattle and sheep. Its vicinity to the sea, the mountaias, and to the most agreeable parts of the county ot Wicklow, renders it a desirable situation during the seasons for geats-whey and — sea-bathing. The fee simple of the town, or at least the greater part of it, is vested in the Karl of Meath. —,—. es Road from Dublin to Wexford, Laghmon and Laniscorthy- Donnybrook, Dublin| —| 2 Stillorgan 93) Ad / Bray, Wicklow | 54; 10 Kalcool : a 16 W chlow 6 24 Arklow y 36 Gorey, or New- v Lorena i Wexf. fs 459 ee TLC CLC LL CT EPR ree ne va -nsunenecet ener en ie eA A Ae C422 Ferns ,| 54 Eaniscorth es 60 Wexford, by Ferry- > Carrick % i lig} 71y Do. by the broad 66% Ferry from Gorey § |_ Enniscorthy, by ditto |— | 60 Taghmon DIY SOL At Donnybrook, on the R. is the seat of Mrs. Dowens, and a little farther to the L. that of Mr. Thwaites.

After you pass the Black- bull-Inn, the road turns off to Rathdrum, which is nine miles distant; and, just before you come to the Black-bull-Inn, the two roads from Bray meet.

On the top of the ridge, to the R. as you go from Delgenny towards Bray, Peter La Touche, Esq. has a banquetting room, calied Belle- vue. He has also an excellent dwelling house, very near to the banquetting room. Passing from this sublime scene, the road leads through cheerful grounds, chief- ly under corn, and then to a vale of charming vendure; broken into enclosures, and bounded by two rocky mountains, while dis- tant darker mountains fill up the scene in front. A little further there is an agreeable view on the R. a small vale opening to the sea, bounded by mountains, whose dark shade forms a _per- fect contrast to the extreme beauty and lively vendure of the lower scene, consisting of gentle-swelling lawns rising from each other, with groupes of trees between and the whole so pleasantly diversified with gentle- men’s seats, as to add every idea of cheerfulness to the suround- ing landscape. Half a mile beyond Delgenny, on the R.is Willow-grove, and three quarters of a mile farthe is Tinny-park, the beautiful de-_ mesne of the late Sir Skefiing- ton Smith, Bart. Near a mile to the L. of Tin- ny-park, and about half a mile from the road, is Seaview, the seat of Mr. Gore. Near three miles from Del- genny is the village of New- town-mount-kennedy, where the late Lord Rosmore had a most agreeable seat, with a large extent of ground : the house was designed by Mr. Wyatt, and ex- ecuted by the late Mr. Cooley. highly finished, commanding a beautiful view of the sea In the middle of the lawn was one of the greatest natural curiosities in the kingdom, an immense ar- butus tree, unfortunately blown down, which measured thirteen feet six inches in. circumference, solid wood, and eighteen inches above the ground. ° In its fall it split mto two parts, one of its branches now measures six feet two inches, circumference ; and another very ‘near as much. Here the road divides: that on the L. takes you into the Wex- ford road at Black-buli-Yan, | which is about a mile anda half distant by Kilmartin, the seat y ’ of Mr.Fox : that on theR. leads to Dunran, about half a mile farther, which is an extent of mountain ahd wood, belonging to the late Lord Rosmore. It ‘is a very noble scenery, a vast rocky glen; one side, bare rocks to an imense height, hanging in a thousand whimsical yet. frightful forms, with vast frag- ments tumbled from them, and lying in romantick confusion ; the other, a fine mountain side, co- vered with shrubby wood. ‘This wild pass leads to the bottom of an amphitheatre of mountain completely wooded. Taken as a single object, it is a most mag- nificent one, but its forms are picturesque in the highest de- gree: great projections of hills with glens behind, all wooded, have a noble effect. Every fea- ture of the whole view is great, and unites to form a scene of natural magnificence.. Hence a riding is cut through the hang- ing wood, which rises to a .cen- tral spot, where the rubbish has been cleared away from The grounds adjoining are j under the wood and made a 427] To Dunran, and beautiful waving lawn, with many oaks and hollies scattered about it. ‘There is here a cot- tage, with an oval room, from the windows of which are three views, one of distant rich lands opening to the sea, one upon a great mountain, and a third up- on a part of the lawn. It is well placed, and forms upon the whole a most agreeable retreat. But extensive as the drive through Dunran is, the curious traveller should venture still far- ther into these awful scenes of majestic nature. By the atten- tion of the late Lord Resmore and Charles Tottenham, Esq. he may now have an opportunity of exploring the long concealed beauties of the Devil’s-glen ; a road being carried from Dunran to the farther end, where the rivar Wartrey falls about one hundred feet, with astonishing fury, into the glen. From thence Mr. Tottenham has o- pened a carriage-way along the course of the stream, which, after a variety of romantic pas- sages, comes into the high, road, near his fine seat of Ballycurry, three miles from Dunran. During the course of this drive, though the views are confined to the glen, the spectator enjoys as pic- tesque a disposition of wood, rock and water, as are to be met with, for an equal length, in any part of this romantic county. The waving form of the glen, whose sides appear evidently to have been torn from each other, and the strong contrast between the one, bare and rocky, and the other, richly covered with wood, contribute not a little (im the opinion of many good judges of natural beauty} to its singular effect. Opposite to the boldest the Devil’s Glen. [428 promontory, but in a spot finely embosomed with wood, Mr. Tot- tenham has built a rustic temple, admirably adapted for contem- plation, and equally well suited to the gayer purposes of a rural en- tertamment. From the temple a walk is carried with great judgment along the upper part of the wood, through rocks of an enormous size, and the most fantastic forms. This walk opens to a view of the vale of Wick- low,. which is well worth the traveller’s attention. On the R. as you come out of the glen, is Glenmouth, the seat of William Eccles, Esq. in a most romantic and beautiful situ- ation. About half a mile farther, and lying to the R. is Hermi- tage, a seat of Mrs. Cary; a quarter of a mile from which, but farther on the R. is Altidore, _a beautiful seat of the late Sir. Skeflington Smith, Bart. . A mile and a quarter beyond Newtown-mount-kenedy, on the R. is Prospect; and near it, Mount-John, the seat of M. Archer. A little beyond the Black-bull, on the R, is Killoughter, the seat of Mr Byrne; and half a mile farther, on the L. is Clon- manon, that of the Rev. Mr. Truel. Within two miles of Wick- low, on the.L. is the seat of Mrs. Radcliffe; and near it, Clermont, that of John Hunt, Esq. Within two miles of Wick- low is Newry-bridge-Inn ;_ and close to it, on the R. is the road to Rathdrum, distant about eight miles, by Ashford-bridge ; near .a.mile beyond which is Cronroe, the seat of Mr. Eccles, the situa- 429] tion of which is grand and beautiful, command- ing a prospect of a rich and highly improved vale, with the sea and town of Wicklow : about two miles farther, on the R. is Willsborough, the seat of Mr. Drought. Within three miles of Wick- low, on the R. is. Ballyna-park, the seat of Mrs. Bryan; and half a mile beyond it, on the R. is Inchanappa, the seat of Mr. Earberry, and Broomfield, that of Captain Majoribanks; and a little farther, on the opposite side of the river Vartrey, is Rossana, the elegant seat of Mrs. Tighe ; surrounded by an amphitheatre of full-grown old wood, and, for a home scene, the most beautiful in the county of Wicklow. Wicklow is the principal town in thecounty of the same name, and is seated on the sea side, with a narrow harbour at the mouth of the river Vartrey, over which stands a rock instead of a castle, surrounded by a strong wall. Wicklow has long been deservedly celebrated for its fine ale. In 1301, this town was burnt by the Irish, and in 1375, William Fitzwilliam, who had erected the castle of Wicklow, was appointed governor. reign of Henry III..a monastery was founded here for conventual Franciscans, by the O’ Byrnes and O’ Tooles. ; Three miles beyond Wicklow, on the L. is Sea-park, the fine eat of Mr. Ball; and a mile and a half beyond it, Rock~- field, that of Ephraim Carrol, Esq. A mile and a half from Rock- field, on the R, ina fine valley, remarkably In the- To Wicklow, Redcross, and Arklow. [430 Five miles beyond Wicklow, on the read te Arklow by Red- cross, on the R_ is West-aston, the fine seat, with a beautiful deer-park,of Thomas Acton, Esq. and near Redcross, on the R. ig Bally-kean, the seat of Mr, Penrose. * Near Redcross 1s the turn to the copper mines of Cronebawn, Killmacoe and Connery, - which may also be approached from the Rathdrum side, by a beauti- ful wooden bridge of one arch; built over the river Avonmore by the county, under the dirécs tion of the late S. Hayes, Esq. On the two latter town-landg there were great prospects of most valuable ore; and yet no works have been ever carrried on with less. advantage than at éi- ther. The . copper works of Cronebawn. exhibit a very re+ markable spectacle of unceasing labour in pursuit of gain; a space near a quarter of a mile square being wrought into holes, not more than ten yards asunder; and continually “communicating with each other by subterra- neous passages; the excavated earth is raised many yards above the original. surface, like the mouths of volcanic craters. The quantity of ore here appears ‘in- exhaustible ; but its quality has, for several years, grown ‘much poorer than .when the = mines were first wrought. Out of these werks arises the celebrated cop- per water; aud the traveller’s attention will be amply repaid by examining the ingenious con- trivance for extending ‘its power, its course being confined in a channel of cut stone, it is carried over eight hundred superficial is Dungan’s-town, the seat of | feet of bar or scrap iron, in the William Hoey, Esq. length of sixty; where, in its | i 431) To Arklow, passage, it corrodes the iron, and depositsthe richest copper ore, at some times almost pure metal, in its place. The stream is very small, but supposed to be the strongest vitriohc water in Eu- rope. Its strength, however, appears to encrease and diminish with the quantity and quality of the ore raised in the adjoming works. Within six miles and a half of Arklow, on the R.is Brittas, the seat of Mr. Penrose; and about three miles farther, on the R..is Sallymount, that of Mr. Whyte. Near a mile from Arklow, most delightfully situated near -the river Avoca, is Shelton, the fine seat of Lord Viscount Wick- low. Arklow is an handsome post and market town, with a barrack for two companies of foot ; m the town may be seen the remains of a castle of the Earl of Ormond. About half a mile from Ark- low, a little beyond the Aghrim road, on the R. is Lambarton, the seat of the Rev. Edward Bayly, commanding a beautiful, various, and extensive view of the valley, the river and the harbour of Arklow. A quarter of a mile farther, on the L. is the charter-school, fifty girls.

Adjoming the house and demesne is the Hill of Creagh, round which there is a road for carriagés, - leading from the dwelling-house and lodge The hill commands a noble prospect over sea and land. A mile on the R. of Camolin, is Camolin-park, the seat, with fine demesnes, of the Earl of Mountnorris. At Ferns, on the R: is the glebe-house of the Rev. Samuel Hayden; aud on the L: is the newly built palace of the Lord Bishop of the diocess. ‘The ca- thedral stands in the town.

[436 At the end of the town are bar- racks for three companies of in- fantry, formed out of the old castle, which yielded a fine pros- pectof the harbour. The church is inthe main street, of a modern taste, though partly built on the old foundation. ‘There are seve- ral ruins of ancient abbies and religious houses interspersed. The market. house is a very neat build- ing, of modern structure. The Custom-house too is of modern date, but small. The chief trade is in cern, and that mostly bar- ley. But the greatest boast of Wexford, and what indeed might justly be the pride of any capital in Europe, is the grand and beau tiful bridge built in the year 1795, over a part of the harbour, at the mouth of the Slaney, con- necting the town with the oppo- site’ shore. This magnificent structure, which in length ex- ceeds any that ever joined land} to land on the surface of the earth, was built by Mr. Cox, an American gentleman, who, with great success, has introduced into this country the invention of America, of building bridges of wood, where art despaired of erecting them. of stone; and b this means has contributed very much to the convenience and ad- vantage of many parts of the kingdom, The bridges of Lon- donderry, Waterford and Ross, besides this of Wexford, are monuments of his skill and inge- nuity. The bridge at Wexford is nearly seven hundred yards long, and runs over what may be called‘ an arm of the sea, ra- ther than a river, whose swelling seems to bid defiance. to hu- man art. The lightness and ele- gance of its structure have a fine effect as you approach the town ; ‘and it affords the greatest conve- nience to the inhabitants, by sup- plying the place of a very incon- venient and often dangerous ferry. It is not lessan agreeable, than an useful accommodation; it is the mall of the town, where a dry, clean and pleasant promenade contributes to health and amuse- ment, and adds considerably to the social pleasures of the place ; while the regimental music, which performs almost every fine day in balconies constructed in the cen- tre, adds a voluptuous softness to the scene. A similar bridge, up- on a smaller seale, but equally beautiful, is built about three miles higher up the Slaney, at Ferrycarric, and connects two high rocky shores, forming with the adjoining woods, and the ruins of an old castle, a very fine romantic view. The haven of Wexford runs in W. and by N. and with her innermost part wholly northward. Just before the haven lie two great shelves by the side of each other, of which that on the S. side ts called Hanman’s-path, and the other, the Nerth grounds. ‘There is a channel between Han- man’s path and the land on the S. side of the haven, and another between the N. side and the North grounds; but this last has only six feet of water at full flood, and the other eight feet at the usual tides, and ten at spring tides. ‘The chief chanel is be- tween the two sands, being four and five fathoms deep. Besides these sands, there is another shelf in the mouth of the harbour; which kind of sandy banks lyirtg across the mouths of harbours and rivers are usually called bars; and the havens which have them, 5 ean 437] To Wexford, &c. : [438 barred havens. With a high flood there are about sixteen feet of water. Being past the bar, there are three fathoms of water, three and a half, and four; but afterwards, for a great way, but ten feet, and ten anda half, with a high flood; though under the castle, where the vessels come to an anchor, there are four fa- thoms, and before the town, three: on account however of the shallows before noticed, no corruption, than even in Britain ; where the Danish, Saxon and French languages have been in- terwoven with it. Bethat as it may, the inhabitants are remark- ably industrious, cleanly to an extreme, and possessed of great simplicity of manners; virtues highly useful in all countries, but peculiarly so in Ireland.

In the barony of Forth, near the harbour of Wexford, is the promontory of Carnsorg. St. Domangart, of Ossory, whose festival is held on the 4th of March, built a monastery at the foot of the very high mountain which overhangs the sea, that immediately flows between Ire- land and England. It was for- merly called Solanga; afterwards Slieve Domangaird; and, in the time’ of Ptolomy, the geogra- pher, it had acquired the name of Higron, or the sacred pro- montory. Cara is now a parish church in the diocese of Ferns. In the above barony are the | remains of an ancient British co- | lony, planted there by Henry I. These people retain their native language, manners, and many singular customs, to this day. They formerly intermarried a- mong themselves; and have in- termixed little or none with the natives.

Near a mile beyond Castle- bridge, on the R. and beauti- fully situated on the river Slaney, is Ballytramont, the seat of Mr. Percival.

As the passenger advances a mile and a half, the church of Kiltennel, lately built, attracts his attention, from its fine situ- ation and neat simplicity. The tower was built at the sole ex- pense of the Earl of Courtown, patron of the living, who also contributed largely to the build- ing of the church. Near to it, on the R. is Kilbride, the residence of the Rev. ‘Thomas Hore. To Wexford, Howth, Bulldoyle, Rush, &c. [440 Ten miles from Arklow, on the L. is Courtown, the seat of the Earl of Courtown. The house is situated within a quarter of a mile of the sea, of which it commands several views, through a grove of Scotch fir- trees, which thrive remarkably well, though very near the shore. The Owan-A’Varaa bounds the demesne on the S. and passes through a great part of the garden in a variety of agree- able windings. The banks on both sides are finely wooded, and all kinds of trees flourish in every part of the ground. These: ad- vantages of wood and water, which Courtown enjoys in a very peculiar manner, render it one of the most elegant places in this country.

To Howth, Bulldoyle, At Donnecarney, about a mile and a half from Dublin, on the L. is Marino, the very elegant seat of the Earl of Charlemont. The demesne surrounding the house consists of about two hundred acres, laid out with singular taste and elegance of improvements, plantatious and lawns, with a fine park, and ex- tensive sheep-walks. About half a mile from the mansion-house, pleasantly situated in the park, stands the Casino, a superb temple, after a design of Sir William Chambers. Bst, > 36 would exceed our limits to par- ticularize all the beauties of this nobleman’s seat, where the groups of trees and plantations (particularly sear the Gothic room) are judiciously and hap- pily disposed. Several very capital and original pictures are in the possession of his lordship, collected by the late noble pro- prietor, who was justly esteemed the Mecenas of the age, the patron of science, and encourager of every useful, elegant and polite art. At Killester, about a mile be- yond Lord Charlemont’s, is the seat of Mr. Cooke; and near it stands that of Sir T. Gleadowe Newcomen, Bart. with elegant gardens, a most excellent green- house, and a highly improved demesne. The situation ig re- markably fine, commanding a beautiful and extensive prospect of the bay of Dublin and the entrance of the harbour. Nearly opposite to the last mentioned seats. is Furry-park, a fine seat of the Eari of Shan- non. Onthe L. a little beyond it, is the seat of the late Sir Pa- trick King; and beyond that, on the R, are the seats ef the Rey. be i a i es A Rush, Balbriggen, &c. [442 Dr. Hamilton and Lord Frank- ford. Opposite, are the seats Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Dick. About three quarters of a mile on the R. of Raheny, near the Strand, is the seat of Mr. Eustace. When you are at Raheny, you may go to Bulldoyle by the strand, leaving the church oa your L. or by the Grange, the beautiful seat of Mr. Noyes, in which case you leave the church on your R. This litter road is the nearest aud most plea- sant. : A litle beyond Raheny, on the R. is the seat of Mr. Watson. Howth is a peninsula, which runs out into the Irish sea, and serves to form the bay of Dub- lin on the N. E. Its’ surface, which is rather sterile, swells into a lofty hill, whence it de- vives its title of Hill-of-Howth. It was formerly called Ben-hedar, 1. e@. the bird’s promontory; and celebrated for having Dun Cri- omthan, or the rath or royal- palace of Criomthan, ,erected on it, he having been chief or king of the district, and memorable for making several successful de- scents on the coasts of Britata against the Romans, in the time of Agricola. The shores of it are rocky and precipitous, af- fording however a few harbours for small craft, and abounding with ‘gloomy caverns, in which seals are sometimes seen rolling their unwieldy bodies. Howth, though now stript of trees, was formerly covered with venerable oaks. It certainly. was a seat of the Druids, for oue of their aitars still remains in a sequestered valicy, on the EH. side of the of 443] To Howth, &c. [444 hill. Jt has been in the posses- siom of the family of St. Lau- rence above six hundred years. Fhat family is so called from their having gained a victory over the Danes, on their first landing hereabouts, in 1477, on St. Lau- vence’s day, their former name being Tristram. The sword with which the famous chief- tain gained this battle was hung up in the hall at Howth, and still remains there to perpetuate tie victory. The present Earl of Howth is the twenty-eighth baron of the family, in lineal descent. ‘The mansion-house is built in the form of a castle, and was probably erected by the before-mentioned hero, Sir Ar- moricus Tristram. It is boldly situated on the W. side of the hill, commanding am extensive prospect of the Irish sea. It is at present but an irregular build- ing, and somewhat in decay. The hall is the only spacious apartment init. Near the house eacompassed with a small grove ef ash trees, stands the family chapel, rather a modern building. ©n the western shore are the ruins ef St. Mary’s-chureh, where there are some antient monuments of hes lordship’s ancestors. Due W. of Howth-house the ruins of St. Fenten’s-church offer a me- lancholy instance of the decay of piety. There has been lately erected a new light-houce at the top of the hill, to direct shipping entering the port of Dublin. At the distance of about three quarters of a mile N. from the Hill-of-Howth, is Ireland’s eye, composed of a high rock on the N. side, and what is called the stags on the E. this latter is very dangerous to shipping, being a perpendicular rock of a vast height and ascent. This small island has a very fertile soil, producing many Curious medicinal plants; which, in May and June, strike a perscn with the most odoriferous efflu- via. In former times it was joined to the Hill--of-Howth, but, by the vielence of the cur- rents, was divided. from it. There are on the S. W. side the ruins of a small chapel, of a very antient structure. ¢ Lambay, more northerly of Howth, distant about three leagues, is a large island, re- markable for breeding vast quantities of rabbits, and for the -onumerous flocks of sea-fowl, such as gulls, cormorants, divers, shaggs, sea-parrots, &c. This island is a favourite resort for pleasuring parties ia the summer scason; and on Trinity Sunday, every year, there is a great con- - course of people from the adja- cent shores, where they visit a curious well and spring of fine water, dedicated to the Holy Trinity. There is good fishing about this island for crabs, lob- sters, oysters, &c. Great quan- tities of kelp are made annually here. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth a grant of the island of Lambay -was made to Sir William Usher, and his heirs, for-ever, on condition of paying 6]. per annum io the see of Dub- lin; and Mrs. Usher of Stephen’s green now hold it under that tenure. There is avery curious old building on Lambay; it isa - polygon, and appears to have been constructed for the purpose of defending the place, as its battlements and spike holes com- mand the island all around in every direction: but it is nearly gone to decay, and inhabited 1 445] only by the servantsof Mr. John | Faran, of Rush, who rents the island from Mr..Usher, at 1001. a year. The Usher family came over with King John, at which time they got a grant of Lambay, where they built the present house, which is supported by arches, without any timber in it. At the time of the plague, Primate Usher and his family retired there, and by that means escaped al] infection. Primate Usher inade a clause in his lea- ses, that in case Ireland should be visited hereafter by a plague, the jease of Lambay island was to be void, ia order to afford a safe retreat or asylum for his family. An original picture of this great man is in the posses- sion of the Provost, and a mar- ble bust of him is in the College- library. His was the first name entered in the College books, and the first M. A. Rush is a pretty large fishing town, and well situated for car- rying on its business to adyan- tage. The ling cured here, and which is exported in great qaup- tities to foreiga countries, has long been celebrated for its su- pertor flavour. Balbrigzen is a small sea-port, beloagiung to Mr. Hamilton, whose father erected an extensive cotton manufactory there, whieh be disposed of to Messrs. Co- merford and O*Brien, and which bids fair to prove of national ad- vantage. ‘lhe pier at this place is a very fine one, built under the inspection of the late Baron Hamilton, fro large parliamen- tary grants; withia which ships ef two hundred tons can lay their broadsides, and unload ona the quay. The base of the pier To Howth, &c. [446 is eighteen feet thick, and on the outside is a considerable ram- part of great fragments of rock, sunk to defend the pier against the waves. The Skerries rocks or islands, in nunber three, at a small dis- tance from the town of Skerries, are remarkable fer producing great quantities of the sea-weed from which kelp is made. That called Holm-Patrick is famous for having been the residence of the Irish apostle St. Patrick, where are still to be seen the venerable relics and remains of a church dedicated to that Saint.

A quarter of a mile from the Charter-school is the town of €lontarf. The castle is the resi- dence of John Vernon, Esq. it stands at the head of the town, which forms an avenue, consist- ing’of several well built houses on either side, and leading from the edge of the beach to this an- cient pile, which still retains in high preservation, and, when viewed from the water’s side, has 2 very picturesque appearance.

St. Dolough’s church ‘is well worthy the attention of the an- tiquarian and the man of taste. It is one of those few structures in this kingdom, erected from the beginning of the eighth to the close of the eleventh century, and in a different style of archi- tecture from any at this day to be found either in Britain or the western parts of Europe; being evidently built in imitation of the original christian churches in the southern countries, taken from the ancient heathen tem- ples of the Greeks and Romans ; and which probably were intro- duced into this island by the Greek and Roman clergy, who retired from their native coun- tries on the arrival of the Goths and Vandals into the Roman empire. These churches now remaining in Treland are all re- markably small, seldom exceed- ing forty feet in length, and twenty 1a breadth, , being .co- wvered with circular stone arches under stone pediment roofs; and the walls and arches frequently ornamented with columns and pilasters in rude imitation of the . Corinthian. and Doric -orders- They are, however; in respeat to taste, far. superior tO any e- rected during the beginning of the latter ages, when the Go- thic method of building was in- troduced from Britain. St. Dolough’s has also been long noted for a Well dedicated ° to the Virgin Mary, and ad- joining it, a small place called St. Catherine’s-pond.

The hall is large, and has an ancient appearance, cor- responding with the outside, There are ten rooms ona floor; one of which, a parlour, is wainscotted with carved oak, in a curious, old-fashioned man- ner. The lower story, consist- ing of servants, offices, &c. is vaulted; and the whole is found- ed on a lime-stone rock: The situation is lofty ; it command- ing a fine prospect of the town and bay of Malahide, and of Gg 451] the sea almost on every side ; as the castle stands nearly ona pe- ninsula, There is a good deal ~ of old wood surrounding it ; particularly some oak, ash, and beech trees, of a very large size.

To see it to advantage, you should pass through the deer- park wood of old oaks, spread over the side of a bold hill. Here the scene is truly a forest one, without any other boundary in view than what the stems of trees offer from mere extent re- tiring one behind auother till they thicken so much to the eye, ing tops, as to form a distant wall of wood. From. this hill you enter an ever-green. planta- tion, a scene which winds up the deer-park hill, and opens on the brow of it, which commands a most noble view indeed. The lawns around the house appear at one’s feet, at the bottom of a great declivity of wood, almost every where surrounded by plantations. | The hills on the opposite side of the vale against the house consist of a large lawn in the centre of the two. woods ; that to the R. of an immense extent, which waves over a mountain’s side, in the finest manner imaginable, and leads the eye to the scenery on the L. which is a beautiful vale of rich enclosures of several miles ex- tent, with the Suir making one great reach through it, and a bold bend just before it enters a gap in the hill, towards Water- ford, and’ winds behind them; to the R. you look over a large plain, backed by the great Cum- meragh mountains. Fora dis- tinct extent of view, the parts of which are alllof a command. ing magnitude, and a variety equal to the number, very few prospects are finer than this.

The present church of St. Keiran’s appears from the adjacent and extensive ruins to have been but a very small part of the ancient cathedral, but as one of the three oldest churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary, (as it is, though called: St. Kei- ran’s) was presented with a set of very magnificent gilt commu- nion plate by the last queen Mary, in token of gratitude for the safety of king William her husband at the battle of the Boyne, and which royal dona, ste < nner : =) at re Re aA eh.

DONBAALPMAEEDAHBDAAAHAAPAAUMNAAADANAWOADAPARKGCBRADAAAAAAAAT A TRAVELLING DICTIONARY,’ OR; ALPHABETICAL EAA Bedale ® OF THE on ee en ee ° OF ALL THE ~ Principal Cities, Boroughs, Alarket and Sea-Port Towns in Ireland from each other ; SHEWING BY INSPECTION The Number of Miles any City, or Principal Town in the Kingdom, is distant from any other, according to the nearest f Direct or Cross Road. COMPREHENDING UPWARDS OP TWO THOUSAND DISTANCES, Carefully compared with the beft Authorities, £.1O5h J ‘O render this work as complete as possible, a TraveL1iinc A Dictionary is‘nere added, digested in so simple and plain a manner, that the number of milcs any principal town or city is. dis- tant from another, according to the nearest direct or cross road, may be discovered with as much ease and expedition, as two words can be found in a commou dictionary. These tables, formed on a plan never before attempted in this kingdom, contain upwards of two thousand distances, alphabetically arranged, and calculated with uncommon accuracy. To find the distance between any two places, the following gene- ral rule must be constantly observed : As the names of the places on the top of the page, as well as those down the side, are alphabetically disposed, that place, which in order of the alphabet comes first, must be always looked for on the top, and the other on the side of the page. Thus: to find the distance between Cork and Waterford,— Cork coming in alphabetical order before Waterford, look for Cork on the topof the page, you will find it between Cl—Du ; looking down the page for Waterford, you will find in the line even with Waterford and directly under Cork the figures 58, which is the number of miles Cork 3s distaat from Waterford ;—and in like manner in every other instance. As all the towns in the different tables, classed in the front alphabet, are repetitions of those in the first one, the names ot the counties are added to that table only ; so that the county in which any town is situated may be known by referring to the first table, or tothe General Index. N. B. The distances from Dublin to all the cities, boroughs, market and sea-port towns in Ireland are given in the direct roads of this work, to which recourse must be had, when the distance to and from Dublin ie required. ere Ballinakill, Ballinafloe, Ballinrobe, Ballyfhannon, An+Ba.
