In Ireland, the stranger is e^er. proverbially, welcome. For everj^ visitor, Ireland obtains a new friend. All travellers testify to the safety of travelling there. There is 'r^^ not a single instance recorded of any '"* Tourist being injured or insulted. These are not startling truths : but they are truths of import. For my own part, I have " posted " on the common car of the countr}", from time to time, during several journeys, fully six thousand miles, through highways and byeways : often housed at verj- humble inns : at all hours of the day and night : I have never met the slightest disagreeable interruption, and never lost the value of a shilling. Therefore, I bear glad testimony to the honesty, courtesy, kindness, and gratitude, of all classes of the Irish — of all grades — from the highest to the lowest. I believe my opinion to be that of far the largest proportion of the English people : that in England there is an almost universal desire to sen'e Ireland, if it can be shown how England may do so; that the interests of the two countries are mutual and in- separable : that to unite them in the bonds of fiiendship will be the most usefiil, as it is the most sacred, of all duties. IV INTRODUCTION. I therefore gladly accede to a request that I write the letterpress descriptions of a very attractive mode of making the country better known * The task may be humble : but my pur- pose will be answered, and my reward considerable, if I induce Tourists to pass holidays there. The cost will be comparatively small ; the monthly return tickets of the North-Western are not costly; the journey and voyage will be between sunrise and sunset of a summer day ; they may breakfast in London and dine in Dublin : comfortable carriages take them to Holyhead, and enormous steamboats carry them across the channel in less than four hours — the great size and skilful construction of the boats effectually arresting sea-sickness. The hotels are everywhere replete with comfort : at the " Shel- bourne " in Stephen's Green, the admirably conducted " Railway Hotel " at Killarney (close to the station), the excellent "Imperial " in Cork, and the " Donegal Arms " in Belfast t — stately, but by no means expensive, as compared with similar establishments in England and Scotland — there will be but one desire, a desire to make the stranger comfortable, and to minister with care, courtesy, and consideration, to all his needs. It is a reproach to be no better acquainted with our own country than with foreign lands. There are many who have been " up the Rhine " who have never seen the Shannon ; gazed upon Mont Blanc who have never looked on Carran Tuel; have been more content to bear the insolence and frauds of con- tinental douaniers and hotel lords, than to court the civility, attention, and zealous service of landlords and waiters at Irish Inns — to sustain, in short, the drawbacks and cost of foreign travel rather than make the infinitely happier Tour nearer home. To such I make this appeal : promising them an ample recompense of enjoyment arising from a month of car and rail- * There are few entertainments more rational, more intellectual, or more instructive than that which is afforded by the venerable and time-honoured Magic Lantern : advantages that are very greatly augmented and enhanced by recent improvements ; those more especially that are known under the name of " Dissolving Views." t No doubt there are other hotels as good, and in all respects as well- conducted, but of those I name I write from experience. INTRODUCTION. V way journeys about Ireland. I write what I have written more than once, and rejoice that I am called upon to write it again : — " Those who require relaxation from labour, or may be advised to seek health under the influence of a mild climate, or search for sources of novel and rational amusement, or draw from change of scene a stimulus to wholesome excitement, or covet acquaint- ance with the charms of Nature, or wish to study a people full of original character, cannot project an excursion to any part of Europe that will afford a more ample recompense than may be supplied by a visit to Ireland." In this brief Introduction I have said nothing of the scenic attractions of the country ; they will be shown and described in the pages that follow. In passing from the capital to the South, or in journeying thence to the North, the Tourist will learn that for wild sea-coasts and mountain rocks of savage grandeur he need not voyage to Norway ; he will find them, abundantly, along the coast that borders Antrim, the shores that keep the ocean out of Kerry Lakes, and where it hems in the bogs and arid wastes of irreclaimed — if not irreclaimable — yet grandly beautiful, Connemara : while for landscape loveliness there are parts of Ireland that surpass those of any country of the world. I greet all comers, therefore, with a sentence they will often hear during their visit — in pleasant voices of warm hearts — " Ye're welcome to Ireland ! " HINTS TO LECTURERS IX USING THE MAGIC LANTERN. TO enable the Lecturer to feel as much at ease as possible when gi\'ing his reading, it is advisable to thoroughly study it pre\dously ; he will thus be able to deliver it vdth far greater effect. We respectfully tender to him this information and ad\-ice. Thus : arrange the slides in your rack box, as they will be used when shown ; then, as each would come on the screen, remove it and hold it at a slight inclination, a short distance from a piece of white paper, which vnll enable you to see the principal objects on the slide ; then compare it with the reading, and you will have no hesitation in using the pointer. Proceed thus through the entire set, putting each back into the box as used. In gi\~ing the fiiblic reading, some signal must be adopted, to give notice to the operator with the lantern when to change the slides ; that is most easily done by a slight tinkle of a small hand-bell, at the point in the reading previously arranged, and allowing time for one slide to dissolve into the next, to do which takes about fifteen seconds. N.B. In this book the portions in large type form the Lanterx lecture. Those in small t}-pe are designed to give enlarged information concerning the beautiful, or grand, or interesting, scenery of Ireland. ^^:3 1. KINGSTOWN HARBOUR. 'T^HE Tourist in Ireland, by way of Holyhead (the easiest and pleasantest of all the routes, occupying but eleven hours between London and Dublin), will step ashore at Kingstown, anciently Dunleary, the name being changed when, in 182 1, George IV. trod, for the first time, on Irish soil, amid the plaudits of enthusiastic subjects, A pillar marks the spot on which the royal foot was placed. The Bay of Dublin has been compared, for spacious grandeur and for sea beauties, with the Bay of Naples. It is perfect as a sea shelter. The Wicklow mountains look down upon it, and the fair hill, Killiney, seems at once its grace and its guardian. The railway (six miles) takes him beside the Bay into the terminus at Dublin, supplying charming views all the way. At the landing-place, the tourist will be surrounded by car boys, — eager rivals of the railroad. On our latest visit we were subjected to their importunities ; pointing to the railway, one of them thus addressed us : " Arrah ! I wonder at yer honner, that wouldn't rather be wisk'd up to Dublin in my nate little car than be dragged to Dublin — at the tail of a Taa-kettle ! " •INGSTOWN, which, in 1 821, consisted of little more than an assemblage of hovels, is now almost a city of gentlemen's seats. It is the favourite resort of the wealthier citizens, and is reached in half an hour from the bustle and business of Dublin. There are capital hotels here : many who arrive from England in the evening (the steamboat lands its passengers at about 9 o'clock), prefer to spend the night in one of them, and journey to the city in the morning. The suburb (for it is nearly that) has a cheerful air, and conveys little idea of the poverty to be encountered farther on. The object always in sight, on entering the harbour, is the Island of Howth. HowTH is a fair and fertile island, containing a noble castle of the Earls, some interesting antiquities, fishermen's cabins, and gentlemen's seats. It forms an attractive object, seen from any point of view. Between it and the opposite shore is another island, long and narrow. It obtained, and has retained, the name of " Ireland's eye." Beyond that again is a yet larger island, that of Lambay. 2. SACKVILLE STREET, DUBLIN. A ND so we enter Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. We are in its principal street, Sackville Street. The pillar is Nelson's Pillar ; the building to the right of it is the Post Office, a very beautiful structure, erected in 181 5. The street is remark- ably wide, a street of first-class shops, hotels, and clubs. It is always busthng and active. There are other broad and spacious streets, and other and grander public buildings. It is a fair, nay, a beautiful city, most happily located, Avith the sea and sea breezes giving health, the near mountains sending to it temperate winds, rich in picturesque suburbs on all sides, and giving at once assurance of a country that nature has abundantly blessed. " Sweet Dublin, agra," I heard an Irish emigrant exclaim, " will I ever see the likes of ye ? " J UBLIN holds rank as the second city of the Empire. It is somewhat above three miles long in a direct line from east to west ; of nearly equal breadth from north to south, and is encompassed by a circular road. It contains above 800 streets and 30,000 houses. The river Lifl'ey runs through its centre. Its mayor is a Lord Mayor, so created by Charles I. Its squares are among the largest in Europe. In Stephen's Green is one of the best-managed hotels of the kingdom — " the Shelbourne," — a well-built, conveniently arranged, and ad- mirably regulated building, constructed for the especial purpose, with all modern appliances. No description of Dublin can so aptly and fitly characterize it as the quaint lines of Old Stanihurst : — " The seat of this city is of all sides pleasant, comfortable, and wholesome ; if you would traverse hills they are not far off; if champaign ground, it lieth of all parts ; if you would be delighted with fresh water, the famous river called the Liffey runneth fast by ; if you will take a view of the sea, it is at hand." 3. TRINITY COLLEGE. "\1[7'E take the visitor to Trinity College; his back is to Dame Street, facing the main entrance. Look, to admire, with intense admiration, the two statues of two Irish worthies — Ohver Goldsmith and Edmund Burke. They are grand productions of the great sculptor, Foley, who may take rank with the immortal men, his countrymen, he has thus commemo- rated. It is a fine structure, the new parts as well as the old ; see its hall and its library, and pass through the corridors where students dwell, to venerate the name of the founder, Queen Elizabeth. Then ramble through the skilfully laid out grounds, and con over the names of the many celebrities who have trodden them, and there taken in the light that enlightened the world. In many ways. Trinity College, Dublin, is one of the most inte- resting as well as suggestive of the edifices of Ireland, and one of its institutions that can be characterized as " time-honoured." ^HE Dublin University returns two members to Parliament. It was founded by Queen Elizabeth in 1591 ; the charter was confirmed and extended by James I. : other sovereigns conferred upon it other privileges. Until within a few years, it was so exclusively Protestant in character and government, and in law, that no Roman Catholic could have been either a fellow or a scholar. A more enlightened policy has, however, thrown open its doors so wide that no distinction of creed now keeps any candidate from its highest honours. 4. ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL. nPHERE is no sacred edifice in Ireland, and there are few in England, more interesting than the Cathedral of St. Patrick : interesting not alone for its antiquity, but as the rest- ing-place of many of Ireland's greatest men — heroes of the pen as well as the sword — and as associated with the history of that part of the Kingdom. Until within the last thirty years it was almost a ruin : the patriotism of a Dublin citizen, Mr. Benjamin Guinness, gloriously and efiectually restored it, at an enormous expenditure of money and with judicious taste. Honour to the name of a good man and a generous patriot ! He obtained a baronetcy from an appreciative Sovereign and a grateful country. His son, who is equally a philanthropist, inherits the title, and continues the work of the father for the good of Ireland especially, but for all human kind. St, Patrick's Cathedral will be their monument to the end of time. THE Cathedral was commenced in 1190, by John Comyn, the then Archbishop of Dublin, by whom it was dedicated to the patron saint of Ireland. It is said to have been erected on the site of a far earlier Christian church, built by the saint himself, A.D. 448. It is situate in the poorer part of Dublin ; the houses that surround it, although recently much improved, are of the humbler order ; but an hour spent in the Cathedral will be an hour well spent, less in examining archi- tectural details than in reading the names of the many great worthies who are interred therein. When I visited the very venerable church, my guide was Sir Benjamin Guinness, whose restorations were then in progress. He was a kindly and courteous gentleman, whose memory is entitled to all honour. The changes he effected were few, following as nearly as was possible the ancient model, and desiring that nothing should seem new. Those who remember its condition thirty years ago, when it was little else than a receptacle for dirt, and full of broken pillars, arches, and seats, and compare it with its condition now, will cherish the memory of the Restorer no less than that of the Founder. He removed from his country a reproach, and gave back to Ireland one of her noblest edifices that time and neglect had defaced and degraded. 5. CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL. /^NLY of importance second to that of St. Patrick is Christ ^~^^ Church, also a cathedral, although the one is but a few steps from the other. That also has been restored — by Henry Roe, Esq. (a patriotic Dublin citizen), and restored with judi- cious care, avoiding changes as evils, and adhering as closely as possible to the original. Its date is of the ninth century. Here Strongbow, the Anglo-Norman conqueror of Ireland, was laid in death ; and the church contains the dust of many great men who contributed to the honour and glory of their country. fHERE are not manv other churches in Dublin worthy of special note. In the Church of St. Anne was buried, in 1835, the poetess Felicia Hemans, who died in a house in Dawson Street, nigh at hand ; it is g^ the house at the corner of Stephen's Green. Let the Tourist make <^ pilgrimage to both : the one will call up memories of a good woman A who ranks among the greatest and best of the English poc'ts : here G she wrote one of the sweetest of her poems, " The Sabbath Sonnet :" I and in the church will be seen a mural tablet containing her name, ' her age, and the day of her death— the i6th May, 1835 ; the follow- ing lines, from one of her compositions, being underneath : — II " Calm on the bosom of thy God, Fair spirit, rest thee now ! E'en while with us thy footsteps trod His seal was on thy brow. Dust to its narrow house beneath ! Soul to its place on high ! They that have seen thy look in death No more may fear to die." 6. THE CUSTOM HOUSE. ' I "HE Custom House is a lonesome building, now ; unhappily, where little business is done. Many of the great rooms are empty, although some are allocated to public offices. Along the adjacent quays there are but a few ships; the steamboats go from the Long Wall, a mile lower down, or from the port at Kingstown. Yet it is a beautiful structure that has been thus so much deserted. Let us hope for a time when commerce will again raise its head in the Irish capital, when, although tide- waiters, gangers, and Custom House officers of various kinds, will be no longer needed, exporters and importers wall require the spacious chambers and store vaults that are now desolate. There are unmistakable signs of a coming commercial prosperity : the hope is not a vain hope. 'HERE are other public buildings in Dublin worthy of note. There are, perhaps, more in this city than in any other city of the kingdom, excepting London. The Exchange is a fine structure ; its form is nearly a square of lOO feet, and it is crowned by a dome in the centre. So is the Post Office, the first stone of which was laid in 1815. The College of Surgeons may take rank next ; and next the Lying-in Hospital. To these may be added the Exhibition Palace, near Stephen's Green, built for a purpose indicated by its name* It is presided over by Sir Edward Lee, but is the property of Sir Arthur Guinness. Here are grand halls for public meetings, bazaars, and festive gatherings of all kinds ; it is a very useful adjunct to the metro- polis, as well as one of the architectural graces of the city. Leinster House (the Ducal palace) is now the Irish National Gallery, where the Department of Science and Art has its school. The Mansion House is a poor dwelling, although its centre hall is an apartment of much grandeur and beauty — larger, perhaps, than any other room in the kingdom, unsupported by pillars. But the public buildings most noteworthy are, first, the Old Parliament House, long ago converted into the Bank of Ireland — a shrine of the money- changers. The Four Courts are the law courts of Ireland. They are all held under the one roof of a fine structure on the north bank of the Liffey. The lofty circular dome is a striking object seen from all elevations. The hall is sur- rounded with Corinthian columns. The Chapel Royal is in the Castle yard. The Castle is of great antiquity ; some portions of it date as far back as the eighth century, when the Danish sea-kings held precarious sway in Ireland. The chapel is a fine Gothic edifice, richly decorated both within and without. The Birmingham Tower is seen in immediate association with it ; its date as a prison for State criminals is remote, but it was rebuilt just a century ago, and is now a depot for State documents. The most renowned public structures of Dublin are thus congregated in or near Dame Street ; branching from it is Westmoreland Street, which leads to Carlisle Bridge, close to which is a statue of Smith O'Brien, of whom it may surely be said — whatever view may be taken of his brief career — he died too soon. Almost at the street corner is a statue of the poet, Thomas Moore, a good as well as a great man, of whom Ireland is rightly and justly proud. It is a very poor affair, considered as a work of Art. He was born in one of the streets adjacent, Aunger Street, on the 28th of May, 1779; and a "centenary" meeting in Dublin, on the 28th of May, 1879, did homage to the chiefest among the bards — of whom his friend Byron said, " He was the Poet of all circles and the idol of his own." I have endeavoured to do justice to this illustrious memory.* The Bank demands a few more words. It is classed among the most perfect examples of British architecture ; and, perhaps, is not surpassed in Europe. It is built of Portland stone, and is remarkable for an absence of all meretricious ornament — pure, graceful, and dignified, the stately and beautiful structure has sacrificed none of its attributes to Time. 7. BRAY. T)RAY, overlooked by Killiney Hill, and backed by the Wicklow mountains, with its martello tower, foolishly built as a "protection " against foreign invaders, is one of the prettiest and pleasantest sea-bathing places in the kingdom ; where ocean has full sway, where there are usually mild and health-giving breezes, and where all the necessaries and comforts of life may be obtained at prices that would startle and alarm half Brighton, and excite the envy of the other half. It is but ten miles from Dublin, and is reached by railway ; but the road is far better, for it passes through famous Donnybrook, and also one of the lions of the island — the rugged and savage Scalp. And here begins the picturesque County of Wicklow. I RAY, although in Dublin county, borders that of Wicklow ; Wicklow is the garden of Ireland. It is, however, not altogether fertile and beautiful ; on the contrary, it is full of barren hills, unproductive bogs, and sterile plains. Its charms consist in the numerous breaks among the mountains, through which run clear, and rapid, and ever brawling rivers rushing about huge rocks, the sides clothed with underwdod, relieved by abundant finely grown trees ; glens of surpassing attraction — rich in the gifts that are only given by all-bountiful Nature. Dean Swift likened the county to a " frieze mantle fringed with gold lace." Rare gems in coarse settings are these beautiful ravines, where luxuri- ant growths of foliage are nourished by wild streams that rush from cataracts. * " A Memory of Thomas Moore," with a photographic portrait of the Poet, from the portrait by Sir M. A. Shee, and wood-engravings of his birthplace, dwelling-place at Sloperton, and the grave in which he is buried at Slopsrton, Wilts. 13 From adjacent heights, found everywhere, views are obtained ; some of the lesser hills may be ascended without fatigue — and what a prospect I — the nearer, the more distant, all delight the mind and excite the fancy of the gazer, and all are bounded by the ocean, dashing against fantastic rocks, and flinging the white spray far above them. All these charms are within an hour's distance of a crowded metropolis : a prodigious boon to those who in "populous city pent " require occasional intercourse with Nature, either as a means of healthful relaxation, or holiday enjoyment. There is certainly no part of the British Islands that supplies, so easily, so many of both ; and thus introduced, we enter the county of Wicklow. 8. THE IRISH JAUNTING CAR. A ND here we mount one of the far-famed Irish Jaunting "^^ Cars ; not that it is absolutely necessary : for a railway runs through the beautiful county — the county of Wicklow. But the car by all means ; the chances are that we shall have a pleasant and witty driver, sure of a civil one, who will, no doubt, wile us out of an extra fee — it is " a way they have," ever)^vhere, and you will not be deaf to the appeal. " Arrah thin ! sure it's not putting him off wid a shilling ye'd be, and making the horse ashamed of his passengers." " Ah ! " said a driver to us, " it isn't continting me wid a shilling ye'd be — if ye knew but all." "Well," we said, " we'll give you another shilling if you tell us what you mean by that." This was his answer: "That I druv yer honour the last three miles w/^'^z// a linch-pm!" The Irish car has been aptly compared with the Irish character, which enables you to see only one side of everything. But it is a pleasant vehicle to travel by, and there may be regret that it is much displaced in towns by imitations of the English cab. We see its construction at a glance ; the travellers on either side ; the driver perched upon an elevated seat between them. [jyHERE is'another sort of car — the " Inside Jaunting Car " —enclosed : for use chiefly in bad weather ; and there is Bianconi's travelling car, intro- duced by an Italian, whose name is, as it ought to be, honoured throughout Ireland. But the " Common Car " is the favourite of all tourists ; the ease with which one can jump off" and on, to examine any object on the road being one of its main recommendations, while if the horse stumbles there is no danger, one is on his feet in a second. I might fill a volume with anecdotes of the drolleries of the car drivers, always ready with an answer and never admitting ignorance ; with natural wit that sparkles not only in words but in looks, with the invariable shoulder-shrug when expressive silence is a response. They are more sedate now than they were formerly, and their clothing is not only 14 never rags as it used to be, but has seldom a patch. Indeed rags are now exceptional ; the old reproach of the English traveller is applicable no longer, that " he never knew what English beggars did with their cast-off clothes until he came to Ireland." The chances are, however, that the driver will be a funny fellow, and a good guide to places you desire to know something about, and he will certainly do his best to interest and amuse you en route. 9. THE DARGLE, WICKLOW. ' I "HE first, out of Dublin, of the famous Wicklovv Glens is The Dargle. It is a ravine between two hills, the sides clothed with trees and underwood, through which rushes a brawl- ing river, fighting with huge rocks that vainly strive to impede its progress into ocean. Enormous trees overhang the river on either side, sometimes meeting and forming a natural bridge ; occasional breaks show distant prospects ; the ear as well as the eye lets in delights, for the stream is musical. In short, the Dargle is a chasm of marvellous beauty, and if no other part of Ireland be visited by the Tourist he will have some idea of the graces and beauties that Nature has bestowed upon the country. S the Dargle is, usually, the beauty of AVicklow first introduced to its visitors, and as, in consequence of its short distance from Dublin, many travellers examine that, although no other portions of the country, it has attained to greater celebrity than others — more magnificent, and picturesque : yet, it may be a question whether in variety it is anywhere surpassed. The ravine is of great depth ; the hills on either side are clothed by gigantic trees and under- wood, out of which occasionally protrude bare rugged rocks ; the slopes are not precipitous, but may be easily ascended to the summits, or descended to the river, natural seats being formed, here and there, by the moss-covered banks, upborne by high trunks of mighty oaks. At times, however, the sides are exceedingly steep, and in some instances perfectly barren ; very often they are completely overhung by the branches ot aged trees, impending directly over the current, and forming natural bridges to connect the two sides. The thick foliage produces continual screens, so that the river although heard is often unseen ; but a step or two in advance and its full glory meets the eye, breaking over masses of granite, topped by its spray, raging and roaring onwards in a succession of falls, sometimes so narrow that a child might leap across, and anon widening into a miniature lake. Nearly in the centre of the glen is a large crag, covered with herbage, " the brightest of green," called the "Lover's Leap;" it hangs over the torrent, and from this spot the best view of tlie valley is obtained. In the Dargle there are Pools where the rushing river not only abates its fury, but seems to come to a full stop and shows the charm of tranquillity. They are calm among rocks ; the breezes float quietly over them ; the trees wave gently above and around them ; and sitting by the side of any one of these deeps, the ear is regaled by distant murmurs that convey ideas of brawls from which there is thus an escape : the nigh-at-hand cataract is heard only in music. 15 10. POWERSCOURT WATERFALL, WICKLOW. T T is to its Waterfall that Powerscourt is mainly indebted for renown ; the grounds are lovely, but that is grand ; there are grander in the South, no doubt, but there is a special charm about this, and now and then it rivals the cataract glories of Killarney. It is about three miles distant from the house, but its roar is often distinctly audible there. It is nearly perpen- dicular, the entire height being about 300 feet ; and in flood times the flush of water rushes at one bound from the summit to the base, in one broad sheet, unbroken by a single projecting rock, accompanied by an absolute roar amid which the sound of a trumpet would be barely audible at the distance of a yard. |OWERSCOURT is one of the lions of Wicklow County. The demesne of the Viscount Powerscourt is not large, and his mansion is neither castle nor palace ; it is a comfortable country' house of the second class, with claim to elegance and pretension to stateliness, however, and is seen to much advantage from the main road. The grounds, freely open to Tourists, are beautifully laid out ; hill and dale, wood and water, are skilfully blended or divided, and here certainly Art has done much to improve Nature. Waterfalls are among the leading attractions, and the most marked features, in the landscape scenery of Ireland. They are encountered in all parts of the country : first because of its hilly and mountainous character, and its large supply of streams and rivers, and next as a result of the moisture of the climate and the frequent rain-falls ; these, indeed, form the only drawbacks to travelling in that country, and Tourists must be warned that a supply of waterproof clothing should be a primary part of their luggage. The evil is not altogether an evil, for it gives nourishment to the abundant foliage : hence the title " The Ever- green Isle." It is related of Charles Fox that having spent half-a-dozen days in Ireland and being " kept in " aU the time by a perpetual downpour, he ever afterwards when meeting a native, put the question to him — "By the way is that shower over yet .'' " Llervj'n Wingfield, K.P., is the seventh Viscount in the Peerage of Ireland, and one of its Representative Peers. 11. THE DEVIL'S GLEN, WICKLOW. 'T^HE Devil's Glen resembles the Ravine of the Dargle, but is more picturesque and beautiful. It is a "cut" in the mountain, made, according to legend, by Satan when escaping from a holy hermit — long before the Christian era ! The water, from a graceful fall, rushes wildly and fiercely over huge rocks, brawling on its course, flinging aloft the spray, and so nourishing the growth of trees and underwood that flourish luxuriantly on i6 either side. Pleasant walks have been formed by the generous and sympathetic Lord; summer-houses are judiciously placed where visitors may rest and be thankful ; the mingled music of the rapid stream and the healthful breeze and the happy singing of the song-birds greet the ear, while the eye takes in delight. It is only a mile long, but, perhaps, there is no glen of the kind in Ireland so perfectly beautiful as this. NARRO W road — but not too narrow for ordinary carriages — shadowed all the way by luxuriant trees, runs for nearly a mile to the iron gate that bars the passage of all intruders, but where a call for admission is at once answered. As we enter (the overhanging foliage has hitherto concealed its character) the scene that bursts upon the sight is incon- ceivably grand and beautiful. We are between two high mountains, the precipitous sides of one being covered with the finest forest trees of innumerable forms and hues, the greater number having been planted by the hands of Nature ; but where she had manifested neglect or indifference, Art has acted as a skilful and judicious attendant, and provided a remedy for the omission. The other mountain is rugged and half naked, huge masses of uncovered stone jutting out over the brawling river, into which they seem ready to fall, and where gigantic rocks have striven to stay the onward progress of the ^vrathful current — in vain. T 12. THE VALE OF AVOCA, WICKLOW. HE Vale of Avoca ! Who will not call to memory the touching and charming melody of the poet Moore ! " Sweet Vale of Avoca, how calm could I rest, In thy bosom of peace with the friends I love best ! " It is a very beautiful valley, suggesting tranquillity and blissful retirement from the cares and perplexities of life. A forest of some extent clothes the hill on one side, the other expands somewhat into dells and glens, each one of which is lovely, while the river Avonmore flows calmly between them. AMBLE where we will in the beautiful county, especially if we follow the course of any of its many rivers, we shall be sure to meet some valley, or dale, or glen, that suggests sensations and sentiments such as those to which "the great bard of Erin" has given utterance in one of the most famous and favourite of the Irish melodies. A tree is pointed out, and will be shown to all Tourists, under which he is said to have written the lines. That is a myth. I was sitting one evening with the poet and his wife at Sloperton. I told him what rumour had said, and asked him if he would tell me where he did write the poem. He looked marvellously wise, shook his head, and answered, " Ah ! that is a secret I never tell to any one ! " Mrs. Moore whispered to me, " It was in an attic at Brompton ! " No matter ; the 17 song will live for ever, in delicious music and immortal verse. " The Meeting of the Waters " is in the Vale of Avoca. Gazing from one of the adjacent heights, the visitor will echo the sentiment of the poet — " There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet." It is at the commencement of the vale, the charms of which increase as we proceed. The Avaters that meet here are the Avonmore and the Avonbeg — the Avon hig and the Avon little. They are placid where they join, as if Nature meant them to be united and happy in wedlock. Here a hundred torrents from neighbouring hills commingle and are at peace. The swards are the " brightest of green ; " the woods are full of trees the foliage of which does not change or fall ; and if the poet has immortalized the scene, it is because all beautiful Nature inspired his verse. There is a second meet- ing, somewhat farther on, near " the wooden bridge; " but the bridge is of stone, the famous old bridge of wood having been long ago removed. At the back of the verj' comfortable inn (where, of course, cars may be had in abundance) is the Hill of Knocknamokill ; it is a hill that the Tourist will do well to ascend, for nowhere can the valley be seen to greater advantage. A winding path, arched by the branches of finely grown trees, and bordered with myriads of wild flowers, leads to the summit. 13. THE GLEN OF THE DOWNS, WICKLOW. nPHERE is yet another glen to picture — The Glen of The Downs; to say much concerning it would be merely to repeat that it is of great beauty, clad on either side by venerable trees, on which look down huge mountains ; giving emphasis to the quaint song — " O ! the Wicklow hills are very high ! " "TT CAN add little to what I have written of the picturesque glens of Wicklow. Jl The Glen of the Downs does not differ much in landscape interest and (!l beauty from that just described. There is a village here and a gentle- "^ man's seat, but little else to distinguish it ; the mountains look down ^' upon it, and the fertilising river runs through it. It is worthy of note, 'T that in all such places the effects of light and shade produce effects that ^ seem magical, changing in an instant from deep gloom to intense bright- I ness, and entirely altering the character of the scene. That is, indeed, one of the peculiarities of Irish scenery : as in the song of the poet, when he sings of the smile and the tear that " blend like the rainbow that hangs in thy skies." Not far from this are the Wicklow Gold AIines. The reader must not be startled ; the mines are not worked now; the produce did not pay the cost, and they are abandoned. It is sufficiently well known that gold was in old times found in Ireland in great abundance|; " the collar of gold " that Alalachi wore when he trounced " the proud invader " is but one of a thousand cases in proof. "WTien I first visited Wicklow in 1840, the mine was in full work; I saw the gold dug from the bowels of the harmless earth ; saw the mine- diggers busy at their work ; saw it sifted and washed out of the gravel and clay ; weighed it in my palm, and became assured of its existence — there, at ail events. Some day or other, there may be added to the other cAals that afflict Ireland the discovery of gold by the banks of its rivers, in the crevices of its mountains, or in mines more productive than is that of Wicklow. B i8 14. LOUGH DAN, WICKLOW. T OUGH DAN is one of the gloomiest, yet ranks among the grandest, of the lesser Irish lakes. It is in the midst of bare mountains — one of several of the same order that are found in the interior of the country. A thousand wild streams find their way to it from hill-sides, looking like threads of silver, and a broad river runs through it. Seen from any of the heights, the effect is startling : for its gloomy grandeur strongly impresses the mind in contrast with the delicious beauty of the fertile glens the Tourist has traversed. It is the dinner of the Eremite after the banquet of the Sybarite. ''HERE are several other such lakes, more or less savage, all having the same character of intense gloom ; Lough Tay and Luggelaw may be named as chief among them. Not far off is the famous wood of Shillelah :— " O, word of fear, Unpleasing to a southern ear." The wood is of small extent, and the terrible oak saplings that flourished at many a fair in the " good old days " of faction fights, are rarely procurable in the district, although base imitations, by no means the " raal things," will be proffered to credulous travellers. Much of the " great wood " was cut down by the famous and unfortunate Lord Strafford, who had wrested it from the original proprietors, the O'Biernes — (a descendant still holds lands in the vicinity, and represents the county in Parliament) — a "legal right" being established by proof that the Irish chieftain was " unable to produce any written title to bis lands ! " 16. GLENDALOUGH, WICKLOW. 'T^HE great lion of Wicklow County is Glendalough ; the Lake " Whose gloomy shore Skylark never wanders o'er." Its attractions, however, are derived from The Seven Churches and The Round Tower, the ruins of which are enclosed by bare and barren mountains, and border the gloomy lake ; they have been puzzles for centuries ; their history, origin, and pur- pose are as obscure as they were centuries ago. The Round Tower first attracts the eye. Here we see the bed of St. Kevin, the founder; a cave on the side of a rock, reached with difficulty and some danger. The ruins of the "Churches" which may still be traced make the mystical number " seven." It will be impossible to move about them without solemn thought on the mutabihty of all works of human hands ; a scene of deeper and more enhancing interest can hardly be found in any part of the world— including Baalbec, the Colosseum, the Parthenon, and even British Stonehenge. ^HERE is, indeed, no spot in Ireland more solemnly exciting or more suggestive than Glendalough ; it was a city in old times — a school for learning, a college for religion, a receptacle for holy men, a sanc- tuary for the oppressed, an asylum for the poor, a hospital for the sick. The city is now desolate, the voice of prayer, except when some wearied peasant is laid beneath the turf, is never heard within its precincts ; year after year the ruins fall nearer to the earth, the relics of its gran- deur are trodden under foot, and another generation may search even for their foundations in vain. It is impossible to look upon the scene without "waking some thoughts divine," receiving a lesson upon the mutability of the works of man, and feeling as if a fearful prophecy had been fulfilled : — " The taper shall be quench'd, the belfries mute. And, mid their choirs unroof'd by selfish rage. The warbling wren shall find a leafy cage ; The gadding bramble hang her purple fruit ; And the green lizard and the gilded newt Lead unmolested lives, and die of age," 16. ST. CANICE CATHEDRAL, KILKENNY. T/' ILKENNY CITY was at all times among the most renowned cities of Ireland. The church, dedicated to St. Canice, is said to have been erected on the site of an edifice coeval with the introduction of Christianity into the Island. Its ecclesiastic rank is next to that of St. Patrick, and Christ Church, in Dublin, It is full of interesting objects, dear to the historian and anti- quary ; has a round tower and a holy well a short way ofif ; and is, altogether, as well as an interesting, an extensive and beau- tiful, pile. The building was commenced so long ago as the reign of Henry II. There are ruins of ancient churches and abbeys in the immediate vicinity yet older than the cathedral. fjTHE church is of a cruciform shape, surmounted with a tower dispro- ly portionately low. In extent it ranks next to the cathednil of St. [(g) Patrick and Christ Church in Dublin. The length from east to west fis 226 feet, and the breadth from north to south is 123 feet. The nave is distributed into a centre and two lateral aisles, commu- ^ nicating by pointed arches springing from plain pillars of native 3 marble, defaced unhappily by the brush of the limewasher. Four pointed windows Uluminate each aisle, and the upper part of the nave is lighted by five quatrefoil windows. As the chief guardian of the Pale (the boundary that separated the English settlers from the native,. Irish), Kilkenny was long famous for the unnatural severity that f6r centuries divided the two races. Some idea of these " laws " may be arrived at by quoting two or three of them. The Statute of Kilkenny is an act memorable in the sad legislation of Ireland, but it was never completely'executed, save in the county which gave it a name. It enacted that marriage, nurture of infants, or gossipred with the Irish, or submission to Irish law, should be deemed high treason. Any man of English race taking an Irish name, using the Irish language, or adopting Irish customs, was to forfeit goods and chattels, unless he gave security that he would conform to English manners. Finally, it was declared highly penal to entertain an Irish bard, minstrel, or story teller, or even to admit an Irish horse to graze on the pasture of an Englishman. In consequenceoftheenforcfementof this statute, Kilkenny was called emphatically " the English county," a distinction which it has long lost. 17. KILKENNY CASTLE. TT" ILKENNY CASTLE is the seat of the Ormonds. They rank among the most illustrious of Ireland's peers ; they have long been " more Irish than the Irish : " the name " Butler " indi- cates their descent; they have been famous for centuries as sending into all countries good women and great men, brave and upright, loyal and true. The Castle, which dates from a very early period, has been judiciously restored, and is now among the most perfect as well as the most beautiful domestic edifices of the kingdom. It stands beside the "stubborn Nore," and presents to view a happy mingling of the ancient and the modern. Here some members of the family are always " at home." r;/» ILKENNY CASTLE adds much to the cheerful aspect of Kilkenny •^ City. Kilkenny is, in many ways, one of the most interesting, as well 1^1 as the oldest, cities of Ireland. An ancient rhyme describes among its marvels — " Fire without smoke ; earth without bog ; Water without mud ; air without fog ; And streets paved with marble." Coal is obtained in Kilkenny ; it gives no smoke ; there are no bogs in the vicinity ; the streets are literally paved with a black marble, raised in the locality; various circumstances, therefore, combine to render Kilkenny a beautiful city. The broad and rapid river Nore runs through it. There are many grand pubhc buildings, the Roman Catholic cathedral being specially noticeable, while its history, as the chief city of the Protestant "Pale," is the early history of Ireland. A Parliament met here A. D. 1309, and many of its records have been preserved ; a " Butts Cross " and a bull- ring yet remain, and the spot on which Cromwell stood to demand the surrender of the city may be pointed out to the curious inquirer. The city is even now divided into English Town and Irish Town. 18. JERPOINT ABBEY. JERPOINT ABBEY is one of the grandest, and ranks among the most beautiful, of the monastic ruins of Ireland. It stands on a bank of the river Nore ; its remains, with which the hand of the Destroyer has dealt more leniently than with others, leave a very forcible impression of their singular grandeur and beauty ; they stand alone in their magnificence : there is no object within ken to distract attention — nothing to disturb the imagination in recalling them to their condition of wealth and splendour, to contrast them, after awhile, with their former state, as we pace through dilapidated aisles, among broken sculptured sepulchres of its ancient lords, or close-packed graves of the poor peasants of yesterday. '• We do love these ancient ruins, We never tread among them but we set Our foot upon some reverend history." ^f O long back as 1822 I. wrote a poem of some length on Jerpoint Abbey; %hk twenty years afterwards I was surprised and gratified to find the poet /^ Moore had quoted some of the stanzas in terms of marked approval in K^^ his "History of Ireland." It is a work of the long past, nearly sixty ^;J- years have gone since it was (privately) printed ; perhaps, therefore, ^ the reader wdl permit me to give a quotation from the Poem here : — Is "I gaze where Jerpoint's venerable pile, j Majestic in its ruins, o'er me lowers ; The worm now crawls through each untrodden aisle, And the bat hides within its time-worn towers. It was not thus, when, in the olden time. The holy inmates of yon broken wall Lived free from woes that spring from care or crime — Those shackles which the grosser world enthral. Then, when the setting sunbeams glisten'd o'er The earth, arose to heaven the vesper song : But now the sacred sound is heard no more, No music floats the dreary aisles along ; Ne'er from its chancel soars the midnight prayer, Its stillness broken by no earthly thing. Save when the night-bird wakes the echoes there, Or the bat flutters its unfeather'd wing." 19. CLONMACNOIS. /^"^LONMACNOIS is a cemetery of the ancient Irish kings: ^^ one of the venerable crosses, produce of the sculptor's art many centuries ago, is a principal feature among the dilapi- dated tombs of rulers, whose names are unknown to history. The walls of a venerable church are also here, and the remains of an abbey. The ruins are on one of the banks of the stately Shannon. Such grand reminiscences of very remote ages are frequently encountered in Ireland : that of Clonraacnois is perhaps the grandest of them all. It is in the King's County. CHOOLS were here in remote times, according to a venerable authorit}-, Dr. O'Connor : hence its name — Cluan-mac-nois — " The secluded recess of the sons of nobles.'" The abbey is said to have been founded b)- St. Kieran, early in the sixth centurj', and its wealth is reported to have been so great that "almost half Ireland was within its bounds." In- °^ disputable marks of former splendour may be easily found by those who ^ search for them. . In the immediate vicinity there are two Round j Towers. If Ireland was not always an island of saints — any more so yesterday than it is to-day — it was ever famous for the production of learned men, and contributed teachers — monks principally — to all the nations of Europe. There is ample e\idence of that fact to be found in the writings of " the Venerable Bede " and other English historians. 20. REGINALD'S TOWER, WATERFORD. TJ EGINALDS TOWER is the Hon of the city of Waterford. It is prominent on the quay — a singularly attractive object. Originally, it was one of the Anglo-Norman castles, but is said to have been a fortress at a much earlier period. In the reign of Edward III. it was a mint, and in that of George III. a jail. It remains a very picturesque object, of a class but rarely en- countered in a populous city. 'N all the Irish wars, foreign and domestic, Waterford has played an important part ; not only have the Danes and Anglo-Xormans been its conquerors, it stood a protracted siege against the English annj% com- manded by Cromwell in person, to whom it surrendered "after much parleying and fighting." At Waterford, the Suir is crossed by a V Wooden Bridge, connecting the county with that of Kilkenny. Both =4 sides are populous. The city has a remarkably cheerful aspect : sea ] wdnds bring it health ; and invigorating land breezes are brought from the Commeragh Mountains. The Cathedral, on the site of an ancient worship place, said to have been erected by "the Danes," is of con- siderable architectural value. The Suir is the "gentle Suire " of Spenser, which — " Mailing way By sweet Clonmel, adorns rich Waterford." Its rank is among the noblest rivers of Ireland — broad, deep, and not too rapid. Below the city, and not far from Dunbrody, it joins the " Stubborn Nore and goodlie Barrow." The Suir may be classed among the most picturesque, as well as the longest and the broadest, of the Irish rivers ; on its banks are many aristocratic seats, 23 ^"ith several thriving, and some picturesque, towns. Prominent among the latter is Lismore, the castle of the Dukes of Devonshire. The Dukes have never been resident landlords, but they have alwa^'s been among the ven,- best of Irish landlords — not only honourable and merciful, but generous and just. The present Duke is fortunate in ha\'ing an agent in all respects excellent, whose father was the agent of the late Duke. I recall with grateful pleasure the memon,- of that great and good nobleman ; if an absentee, the condition of his Irish estates and their management supplied conclusive evidence that absenteeism is not always an evil. I copj' from " Ireland : its Scenerj' and Character," a passage I wrote concerning them in 1840 : — "Ever)' tenant upon the Duke's estate may, if he be honest and industrious, live as comfortably and as independently as the tenant of any landlord in England. He is not permitted to pay a larger rent than the agent knows he can afford to pay by moderate labour, and taking into account the chances of accidents and failures of crops ; and every possible inducement is held out to him to improve his condition." I believe the observations apply with as much truth and force to the present Duke and his estimable agent. 21. DUNBRODY ABBEY. "^ rOYAGERS from England who take the Milford or Bristol or Liverpool route to Waterford, soon after they have passed the mouth of the spacious, grand, and very beautiful bay, will see, in the near distance, the venerable abbey of DuNBRODY. It was founded towards the close of the twelfth ' century for Cistercian monks, by one of the Anglo-Norman chief- tains, the principal leaders of Strongbow's knights having settled in this county — the county of Wexford. Wexford is admitted to be the model county of Ireland — of unequalled excellence for sea and soil, and women and men. The ruins are auspiciously situ- ated, near where the Suir and the Barrow meet to augment the bay, and thus to " swell " St. George's Channel. ATERFORD HARBOUR is of great beauty; beautiful in the grandeur of its mountains and its planted hill slopes. Vessels of a thousand tons discharge cargoes at the quays, and in all respects the city — " Urbs intacta manet Waterfordia " — is calculated, and certainly designed, to prosper. Admirable institutions are numerous, and flourish ; here is a weU-conducted School of Art, and the lunatic asyium is one of the best managed establishments of the kind in Europe. The quay is upwards of a mile in length, in a continuous line. w 22. BLARNEY CASTLE. HO has not heard of the famous Blarney Stone- " Which he who kisses Never misses To grow eloquent " ? 24 When or how " the stone " obtained its singular reputation it is difficult to determine ; the exact position among the ruins of the castle is also a matter of doubt. Peasant guides humour the visitor according to his capacity for climbing, and direct either to the summit or the base, the attention of him who desires to " greet it with a holy kiss." He who has been dipped in the Shannon is presuipied to have obtained, in abundance, the boon of that " civil courage " which makes an Irishman at ease and uncon- strained in all places and under all circumstances ; and he who has kissed the Blarney Stone is assumed to be endowed with a fluent and persuasive tongue, although it may be associated with insincerity; the term "blarney" being generally used to charac- terize words that are meant to be neither " honest nor true." Equally renowned are the Groves of Blarney — " they are so charming." The ruin is very picturesque ; one of the many attractions of Cork County. It is but six miles from the city. fOURISTS will visit "The Sweet Rock-close "—it well deserves the epithet. I hope it may be during a sunny day in June ; if he do, he will never forget the fragrant shade afforded by the luxuriant ever- ^^^^ greens that seem rooted in the limestone rock. The little river oils Comane is guarded by a natural terrace, fringed Avith noble trees ; 'f^ several of the spaces between are grottos — natural also — some with % seats, where many a love-tale has been told, and will be, doubtless, |. as long as Cork lads and lasses indulge in picnic fetes, while the blackbird whistles and the wood-pigeon coos in the twisted foliage above their heads. It is indeed a spot of exceeding wildness and singular beauty : at some particular points you catch a glimpse of the Castle, the river, and the mysterious entrance to the " Witches' Stairs." Green pastures lead to the Lake — a fine expanse of water about a quarter of a mile from the Castle. The scenery here is rather English than Irish, but every step is hallowed by a legend. It is implicitly believed that the last Earl of Clancarty who inhabited the Castle committed the keeping of his plate to its deepest waters, and that it will never be recovered until a MacCarthy be again lord of Blarney. Enchanted cows on Midsummer nights dispute the pasture with those of the present possessor, and many an earthly bull has been worsted in the contest. As to the fairies, their rings are upon the grass from early summer to the last week in harvest. 23. PATRICK'S BRIDGE, CORK. /"^ORK is the second city of Ireland. It has all the advan- ^^ tages that might hence be expected. Its streets are wide, the houses well built ; vessels of size load and unload at its quays ; 25 its public buildings are numerous ; and its one grand hotel, " the Imperial," is among the best-managed hotels of the kingdom. Patrick's Bridge crosses the river Lee, leading to its principal street, Patrick Street, where there is a statue, by Foley, of Father Mathew, the great and good priest who was the apostle, and may be called the martyr, of Temperance, for to that holy cause he dedicated and devoted his life. Let no visitor to the " beautiful city " enter or leave it without rendering homage to his memory. Cork is famous in story and song. There is an old joke con- cerning " Paddy from Cork, with his coat buttoned behind," and a yet older joke will be remembered : " Have you ever been in Cork ? " Answer, " No ; but I've seen many drawings of it." The river Lee, which " encloseth Cork with its divided flood," is a beautiful river during its upper course ; but the charms of Cork Harbour excite the enthusiastic laudation of all by whom it has been visited. eORK has long been renowned in the annals of literature and art. It has been the intellectual birthplace of many men of mark, and that cha- racter it continues to uphold. Its public buildings are not numerous. The most conspicuous is the Queen's College. The fame of this v^>** beautiful city is derived principally from its mercantile influence as the -# exporter of native Irish produce. Unhappily there is no home manu- ^!^ factory within its bounds. The honoured and revered name of the r Reverend Theobald Alathew will be ever associated with Cork, It was there he commenced his great work — in the year 1838. Intoxica- tion, instead of being a glory, is now a reproach. The people look upon a drunken man, not with sympathy or even tolerance, but with absolute disgust, and point him out to their children as the Spartans did their helots — as a lesson not to be forgotten against the vice. That, at all events, is the work of Father Mathew, that can never cease to exercise power — that can never die. I knew him well, and revere his memory, as must all who love humanity and seek to release it from a curse that is unhappily as efficacious for evil now as it was before the good priest began his mission — to do the work of God for man. 24. QUEENSTOWN, Co. CORK. QUEENSTOWN will not be found in any books earher than 1849, although the Cove of Cork has been always famous : the name was changed in honour of Her Majesty the Queen, who there landed in that year, on her first visit to Ireland. The town is built on the side of a steep hill, and commands a fine view of the entrance to the harbour. That entrance is between two steep 26 hills, so near each other that a rifle ball might pass across. The harbour is diversified with islands, one of which is a Government depot. The harbour here is very beautiful and generally tranquil : the whole navy of Great Britain might anchor there in safety ; and here begins a voyage to the city quays, which has been styled, and justly, " the noblest sea-avenue in Europe." SAIL from Cork to Cove is one of the rarest and richest treats the island can supply, and might justify a description that would seem akin to hyperbole. It is therefore not surprising, considering also the cheapness and rapidity of the passage to and fro, tliat a vast pro- portion of the citizens have dwellings, magnificent or moderate, according to their means, along the banks of their glorious and beau- tiful river ; its attractions too generally wile them from business, and keep them at " the receipt of custom " but for a few hours of the day. Along that " sea avenue," all tire way on either side, are seats of the gentry ; green swards rise from the beach up the fertile hill slopes. Monkstown, a large village, is backed by dark woods, and Black Rock Castle, a picturesque castle "restored," graces a peninsula that juts out into the river. Wherever the steamer takes us, the eye is regaled by some feast of beauty. Cork has a cheerful and prosperous aspect, the leading streets are wide, and though the houses may be described as built with studied irregu- larity, their character is by no means ungraceful or unpleasing. The quays at either side of the Lee — liere of course a river muddied from traffic — are con- structed of granite, and may be said to merit the term so frequently applied to them, " grand and elegant." The city is a mere mart for commerce; the whole of the gentry, and, indeed, a large proportion of the trading inhabitants, living in the picturesque and beautiful outskirts. Cork has been justly called " the beautiful city," but its charms are chiefly derived from adjacent scenery, to which the river Lee, from its rise in lonely Gougane Barra to its fall into the Atlantic, very largely contributes. 25. BANTRY BAY AND GLENGARIFF. "DANTRY BAY, which is also the Bay of Glengariff, is unsur- passed by any harbour of the kingdom for natural advan- tages as well as for surrounding scenery of great beauty. It is renowned in Irish History : here, in 1796, the French attempted to invade Ireland ; but a terrific storm scattered the troop-ships and effectually prevented a landing — so averting a great calamity. There are many islands in the Bay. It is surrounded by high mountains. Glengariff is among the most perfectly beautiful glens of the island : and his will be a happy destiny who has his home at one of the best hotels of the kingdom— Eccles' Hotel, with its " walk " of five miles, commanding extensive sea views and land views of mingled grandeur and beauty. 27 fHERE are two hotels at GlengarifF — "Roche's Hotel" and " Eccles' Hotel " — both are good ; the latter, indeed, has become famous, and vies, in all possible ways, with the very best establisliments of ^i^ the kingdom, while it has attractions very rarely to be met with. dQo Suffice it to say, the walks that form parts of the grounds are in f extent five miles long in their windings — of flower-bordered paths, among very large trees and delicious underwood ; commanding j near and extensive views from seats judiciously placed at intervals, that take in all the prospects, beautiful or sublime, near or distant. The Baths are of the first order ; all travellers who have been guests at Eccles' Hotel speak of it and its management, in terms of the highest laudation. Language utterly fails to convey even a limited idea of the exceeding beauty of Glengariff, "the rough glen," which merits, to the full, the enthusiastic praise that has been lavished upon it by every traveller by whom it has been visited. It is a deep Alpine valley, enclosed by pre- cipitous hills, about three miles in length, and seldom exceeding a quarter of a mile in breadth. Black and savage rocks embosom, as it were, a scene of surpassing loveliness — endowed by Nature with the richest gifts of wood and water ; for the trees are graceful in form, luxuriant in foliage, and varied in character ; and the rippling stream, the strong river, and the foam- ing cataract, are supplied from a thousand rills collected in the mountains. Beyond all, is the magnificent Bay, with its numerous islands — by one of which it is so guarded and sheltered as to receive the aspect of a serene lake. "We look up to the mountains ; they are of all forms, altitudes, and outlines. The most prominent among them is the Sugar-loaf, Shek-na- Goil, " the mountain of the wild people," with its conical head soaring into the clouds; and to the rear, but at a considerable distance. Hungry Hill, with its naked and meagre sides, down which runs a stream from the lake upon its summit, until, gathering as it goes, it breaks in a tremendous cataract of eight hundred feet, expanding as it falls, and flinging a spray around it that seems to cover with a thick mist a third part of the hill. We turn from the mountains but a step and gaze over the broad bay ; the fore- ground is composed of islands of various shapes and sizes ; and we stand in the midst of cultivation, as if nature had resolved upon mingling as much grandeur and beauty as the eye could take in at once. We turn again and look inland : enormous rocks are scattered in all directions, without order or arrangement, but graceful from their very confusion, seeming as if the giants of old had done battle here, and fought with huge masses they had wrenched from the adjacent mountains. "Around, and above. From a thousand sweet voices, Come sounds that we love ! There are words in the breeze ; there are words in the trees ; There is speech in the sea : in the hills around thee : Where all Nature rejoices. O beautiful glen ! " 26. CROMWELL'S BRIDGE, GLENGARIFF. /CROMWELL'S BRIDGE— a very picturesque bridge— crosses ^^ a brawling stream at Glengariff: it is said to have received its name in an odd way. The great English " Protector " on his march — where, by the way, he never was — found his troops stopped by the river, and declared if he did not find a bridge 28 built on his return, he would hang every " sowl" of the inhabit- ants. And it was known that the " ould villan " was the man to keep his word. So the bridge was built : the evidence of which exists at the present day. But the memory of the Protector is detested in Ireland : where the bitterest anathema is " The curse of Cromwell be wid ye ! " 'T is to its advantages as a winter residence, however, that Glengariff is indebted for much of its celebrity. There may be glens as beautiful (though that is questionable), but there are none so healthful. Pure air from the mountains mingle with sea-breezes — always mild yet ever in- vigorating. In complaints incident to old age it is a marvellous restorer, while in cases of consumption, incipient or confirmed, it is a panacea ^ of wonderful power. Proofs could be adduced in plenty, if there were ( space to give them. I might copy with effect the opinions of a score of the safest medical authorities of Ireland — of England and Scotland also — who have testified to the advantages of Glengariff as a health-resort — of especial value as a -ci'inter health-resort. Thus, Dr. Gilbert Smith, of Harley Street, writes, " To that class of diseases of the chest which requires a winter residence in a warm and moist atmosphere the climate of Glengariff presents unrivalled qualifications." Thus Dr. Edward Townsend : " The temperature, in consequence of its shore being washed by the Gulf-stream, is always, mild, warm, and genial, and free from the unpleasant effects pro- duced by relaxation." And thus Dr. Beamish: "In winter it is genial and equable, and therefore a most valuable climate for those who labour under bronchial and other chest affections." ^Moreover the Glen is among the most perfectly beautiful of all the fair glens of the island. I think there is not in the " wide world " a place that in sickness or sorrow will give so encouraging an answer to " Hope." " Glengariff! large thy store of wealth : For gentle breezes bring us health : Yet winds among the mountains live, That strength to young and aged give, ^Mingling the soft airs with the strong. Rambling the hills and dales among : Where life will cease to suffer pain. And vigorous youth come back again." I ask every Tourist who journeys from Glengariff to Killamey by the public car (except by private carriage there is no other way) to stop at Kenmare, less to \-iew the spacious and beautiful bay than to visit the Convent of Poor Clares, and by purchasing the exquisite lace made there, or in some other way, to help on the work of the admirable ladies who are the nuns of that convent. They are not immured nuns, these twenty-five ladies (ladies by birth and position), but they spend their lives in doing God's work. That work is to teach the young. Four hundred little children are taught and trained there, partly clothed and partially fed, and formed for the future they are to encounter, in the several conditions of life for which they are educated and prepared. It is a beautiful sight — one that cannot fail to give delight to any "loving soul" — to see, as I saw, four hundred little ones arming in the convent to fight the fight of life ; four hundred, from infancy to girlhood, clean, comfortably clothed, well-mannered, happy in their looks and cheerful in their voices, and to know how much of their future, and the luture of many who will more or less depend upon them, is the result of teachings, in several ways, they receive in the Convent of Poor Clares. It 29 was a scene I cannot sufficiently well describe : a scene of hopeful joy : of intense delight : for deep and earnest thankfulness. Ah ! when the Shepherd gathers to the fold The lambs that might have perished — seraph bands — And the recording Angel shall be told ' We rescued these by aid of helping hands ! " What bliss to know the saints in glory there Were once the " Little Children " of Kenmare ! 27. GOUGANE BARRA. r^ OUGANE BARRA is a lake. The " lone island in lone Gougane Barra " contains the ruins of a monastery, and a Holy Well ; and has been for centuries a place of pilgrimage as a cell of St. Fin Bar, the patron saint of Cork county and city. The Lake is the source of the river Lee : "A thousand wild fountains, Rush down to that lake from their homes in the mountains." It is a gloomy lake ; the sun seldom shines upon its waters, the shadows of dark hills are so close to it ; there are no environing trees, except a small group that darkens the broken walls of the ages-old edifice. The scene, however, is highly picturesque and well worth a visit. It is distant less than a mile from the main road, where the public car from Glengariff will stop that pas- sengers may see the island, renowned in poetry and in tradition. 'HE approach to Gougane Barra is now sufficiently easy, although a hundred years ago a pilgrimage of two miles occupied two hours. Dr. Smith pathetically describes the toil : he calls it " the rudest highway that ever was passed ; a well-spirited beast trembles at every step. Some parts of the road lie shelving from one side to the other, which often trips up a horse. Other places are pointed rocks standing like so many sugar loaves, from one to three feet high, between which a horse must take time to place and fix his feet." A sudden turning in the road brings the tourist within view of, and almost over, the Lake. A scene of more utter loneliness, stem grandeur, or savage magnificence it is difficult to conceive, redeemed, however, as all things savage are, by one passage of gentle and inviting beauty, upon which the eye turns as to a spring well in the desert — the little island \vith its group of ash-trees and ruined chapel. Down from the surrounding mountains rush numerous streams, tributaries to the lake that collects and sends them forth in a bountiful river — for here the Lee has its source — until they form the noble harbour of Cork, and lose themselves in the broad Atlantic. In summer these streams are gentle rills, but in winter foaming cataracts, rushing over ridges of projecting rocks, and baring them even of the lichen that strives to cling to their sides. I once literally " hopped " across the river Lee. When the traveller stands within this amphitheatre of hills he feels, as it were, severed from his fellow 30 beings — as if imprisoned for ever ; for on whichever side he looks, escape from the valley seems impossible, "so that if a person," writes the old historian, "were carried into it blindfolded, it would seem almost impossible, without the wings of an eagle, to get out, the mountains forming, as it were, a wall of rocks some hundred yards high." 28. KEIM-AN-EIGH. npHE Pass of Keim-ax-eigh — the Path of the Deer — is one of those splits in the mountain, such as one frequently meets with in Ireland — \vTld, savage, desolate ; yielding nothing to the plough and Httle to the sheep that feed on its scant}- verdure. It is a close cut in the mountain ; perhaps in no part of the island is there to be fotmd a place so gloomy. In long-ago times it was the shelter of Rapparees, and later that of the ^^^liteboy5 ; a score of resolute men might have held the Pass against an army. The distiller of poteen whisky, motmtain-made, did his work here in safety, for the ganger would not have dared approach the cave in which he brewed the poison. In fact, the defile has been the resort of the lawless at all periods of Irish histon.-. Nowhere has Nature assumed an aspect more appalling, or manifested more stem resolve to dwell in her own loneliness and grandeur, undisturbed by any living thing. ^HE Pass of Keim-an-eigh is on the direct road by car between Mac- room and Bantry Bay. Perhaps in no part of the kingdom is there a place so utterly desolate and gloomy. A mountain has been divided by some convulsion of Nature ; and the narrow pass, nearly two miles in length, is overhung, on either side, by perpendicular f masses clothed in wild ivy and underwood, with occasionally a stunted yew-tree or arbutus growing among them. At every step I advance seems impossible — some huge rock jutting out into the path, and, on sweeping round it, seeming to conduct only to some barrier still more insurmountable ; while from all sides rush down the " wild fountains," and, forming for themselves a rugged channel, make their way onward — the first tributarj- offering to the gentle and fruitful Lee : — " Here amidst heaps Of motmtain wrecks, on either side thrown high, The widespread traces of its watery might, The tortuous channel wound." Even the birds seem to shun a solitude so awfhl, and. the hum of bee or chirp of grasshopper is never heard within its precincts. The road is, how- ever, full of objects that caimot fail to interest the stranger. First he will note the source of a river that \\"ill accompany him all the way to Bantry Bay — the river Ouvane, issuing from a small crevice in the rock, creeping along among huge stones, at length becoming a brawling and angry stream, and ere long a broad river making its way into the sea. The ruined castle of Carri- ganas — one of the old fortahces of the O'SuUivans — Ues directly in his path ; 31 and a little to the left is the picturesque ruin of a venerable church, with its small churchyard, in the centre of a group of aged trees. A view of the Bay is soon obtained — a glorious accession to the landscape ; and just at the turn where the road branches off — the left leading to Bantry, the right to Glengariff — is the fine waterfall of Dunamore — at times a magnificent sight. 29. ROSS CASTLE, KILLARNEY. "D OSS CASTLE is a picturesque ruin", richly clad with the broad-leaved ivy that thrives luxuriantly in the locality. As one of the strongest castles of the O'Donoghues, Lords of Ross, it held out against the assaults of the best generals of Cromwell, in 1652. From the landing-place, and from some of the near ascents, charming views are obtained : fair Inis- fallen is here seen to best advantage ; lesser islands and island rocks dot the surface of the Lake from which rise the woods of Glena, with their blended wealth of holly and arbutus, while the grandest of the mountains look down upon a scene of surpassing loveliness. The echoes a little way off the shore are powerful and clear : the boatmen will not fail to arouse them. Here will, of a surety, be heard the question, " How are ye, Paddy Blake ? " and Echo's answer, "Pretty well, I thank ye." And here we introduce you to "all beautiful Killarney'"' — one of the wonders of the world ! 'IME will be well spent by the Tourist in visiting and examining the old castle : hearing or recalling the legends associated with it, and especially that which attributes its yielding to the arms of Cromwell by its Irish defenders witnessing the fulfilment of an ancient prophecy that it must fall when a ship was brought overland into the Lake. That was actually done. But the grounds and gardens of the Earl of Kenmare (whose newly built mansion is near) are of the rarest order : art and nature having combined to render them perfect in fertility and beauty. A more delicious walk cannot be found in the dominions of the Queen. Tall rushes skirt the shores ; monster ferns clothe the dells; "patrician trees " and "plebeian underwood" flourish all about the fair scene ; the islands and islets are seen through judiciously formed breaks. A retired part of the island (for Ross is made an island by a cut through a Peninsula) will be visited to examine the debris of a copper-mine and the huge iron shaft of the first steam-engine imported into the island. The mine was worked, and the steam-engine brought there, by Colonel Hal], early in the century. Nearly a hundred thousand pounds' worth of copper ore was sent thence to Swansea. But the water burst into the mine, and when, at enormous sacrifice, it was removed, the mine was found to be exhausted. Unequivocal proofs were discovered of early workings in the pre-historic times. Colonel Hall had a son (an elder brother of the writer), born in Ross Castle, when it was a barrack. 32 30. THE LOWER LAKE, KILLARNEY. nPHE Lower Lake is much the largest of the three sister lakes, and hence the rapid river Laune sends their mingled waters to the Atlantic. Its length is 5^^ miles, its breadth 2^. Here are the principal islands, twenty-seven in all — including those that are only rocks. Here is the most beautiful of them — fair Inisfallen, concerning which you will hear legends in abundance : but you must induce the guide to tell them, and your guide will be pretty sure to be a pleasant and useful com- panion. You may not see the chieftain, O'Donoghue, but you will be told that every May morning he leaves his palace under- neath the lake, to revisit the pleasant places among which he lived while on earth. You will not see, but you may hear about, the venerable abbot who was lured from his convent by a little singing bird ; he followed it, listening to its song, for two hundred years, and returning to his duty, thinking he had been absent for an hour, found that all the monks had died, and that a stranger was " ould Ireland's king." You may lie in " the bed of Honour : " and examine the picturesque ruin of the Oratory : and picnic on the green sward, under the shadow of a wide-spreading elm or oak-tree. N ages long past, O'Donoghue of Ross was lord of the lake, its islands, and the land that surrounded it. His sway was just and generous, and his reign was propitious ; he was the sworn foe of the oppressor ; he was brave, hospitable, and wise. Annually, since his death, or rather dis- appearance, he is said to revisit the pleasant places among which he "(j" lived — %^ " So sweet is still the breath j Of the fields and the flowers in our youth we wandered o'er." Every May morning he may be seen gliding over the lake mounted on a white steed, richly caparisoned, preceded and followed by youths and maidens, who strew spring flowers in his way; while sounds of unearthly sweetness glide along the waters, and become thunder as they make their way up the surrounding hills. Although he appears in state only on INlay morning — " For when the last April sun grows dim The Naiads prepare his steed for him. Who dwells, bright Lake, in thee," he is seen on various other occasions, and lucky is the child of earth by whom the immortal spirit is encountered ; for be he peer or peasant, good fortune is sure to wait upon him — and therefore many are they who peer Avith longing eyes along the lake at sunrise or in the twilight, to catch a glimpse of the chieftain, and listen with eager ears for the music that heralds his approach. 33 To adequately describe the islands would require more space than I can devote to the theme. They are, as I have intimated, chiefly in the Lower Lake. The principal is Inisfallen — "fair Inisfallen!" It receives from all Tourists the distinction of being the most beautiful, as it is certainly the most interesting, of the Lake islands. Vistas have been skilfully formed through the trees, presenting on one side a view of the huge mountains, and on the other the wooded shores of Ross. Of the abbey a few broken walls alone remain. I briefly notice the other islands. They are not remarkable, except for their fantastic forms ; here is O'Donoghue's prison, a rock covered with a thick layer of peat, and containing only a single stunted tree ; here, on the other hand, is Lamb Island, a mass of underwood and finely grown forest trees. Here is the tiny morsel of evergreen called Mouse Island. Here is Brown, or Rabbit, Island, so called from the myriads of coneys that formerly peopled it, and were all drowned in a single night by a sudden flood. Rowing southward we pass Stag Island, and then Burnt Island, and pause a minute or two to look at "Darby's Garden," a low ledge of rocks, out of which grow a few meagre arbutus trees. O'Donoghue's horse was here, but he has gone to rejoin the chieftain at the bottom of the lake. 31. GLENA, KILLARNEY. ■pEAUTIFUL Glena ! It is the gem of the Lakes. Bare mountains — the Toomies — look down upon a scene of surpassing loveHness. There is nothing at Killarne)', where nature is everjwhere charming, that excels it. The mountain of Glena, clothed to luxuriance with the richest evergreens — from its base in the lake a long way up— looks down upon a little vale endowed with the rarest natural gifts, and which the hand of taste has touched here and there without impairing its primitive character. Glena, a name that signifies the "glen of good fortune," is the property of Lord Kenmare, whose lady has built a cottage-ornee — where visitors are accommodated — in this de- licious valley. It is in happy keeping with the graceful and beautiful scene, and the walks and gardens that surround it are judiciously formed and disposed. fHE charm of Killarney Lakes, however, does not consist in varied graces of foliage, the grandeur of encompassing mountains, the number of green or rocky islands, the singularly fantastic character of ^^ the island rocks, the delicate elegance of the shores, the perpetual (m occurrence of bays, but in the wonderful variety produced by the com- fbination of their attractions, which, together, give to the scenery a character inconceivably fascinating, such as the pen and pencil are j utterly incompetent to describe. The shadows hom the mountains, perpetually changing, produce a variety of which there can be no adequate conception, insomuch that the very same spot shall present a different aspect twenty times within a day. Assuredly tliey far surpass in natural beauty aught that Nature has supplied elsewhere in Great Britain ; for, C 34 with scarcely an exception the devoted worshippers of Loch Katrine and the fervid admirers of the northern Enghsh lakes have yielded the palm to Killarney. Some, however, have qualified the praise they bestow upon " the pride of Ireland " by admitting only that the three lakes, considered as one — which they may naturally be, lying so close to each other — are together more important than any one of the lakes of Cumberland and "Westmoreland. Such was the opinion of the poet Wordsworth, as he expressed it to me. 33. BRICKEEN BRIDGE, KILLARNEY. ORICKEEN BRIDGE is highly picturesque. It is of a single arch, and under it pour the mingled waters of the Upper and the Middle (Tore) Lake, running through the Lower Lake, swelling the river Laune, and thus augmenting the broad Atlantic. There are mountains on all sides. The walks about the demesne of adjacent Mucross are delicious. They may be extended nearly ten miles among a wealth of rich ferns and the weeds that are flowers. In all directions the scene is beautiful as well as varied ; hill and dell, wood and water — while the islands of varied character are in sight. Standing on Brickeen Bridge all the leading delights of Killarney are taken in at a glance around — north, south, east, and west. 'ROM the mainland a bridge is crossed — a bridge from Dinis Island across the channel that runs from the Long Range into Tore Lake — and the visitor is again on the mainland ; a by-road conducts to the high-road, and he is on what is technically termed " the new line " — i.e. the line between Kenmare and Killarney. But still the walk or drive is continued thiough the demesne, for parts of it lie on the other side of the public road and run up the sides of old Tore Mountain farther than the most enterprising pedestrian will be willing to explore; for the underwood is so thickly matted that it presents an effectual barrier, and the rocks jut out so as to form continual lines of inaccessible precipices. By the time he returns to the entrance-gate at Cloghreen village the tourist will thus have driven ten miles, encircling a demesne that assuredly cannot have its equal in the dominions of the Queen. But let him not imagine that this drive will show him all he has to see — very far from it. To the most charming of its beauties neither car nor horse can conduct him. It is im- possible for any description to do them justice. Nature formed them, but art and taste have combined to render them perfect. " Old bridge, that blends in one the three. Above thy single arch I stand. And all Killarney's glories see. Of gently fair, sublimely grand — The wild, the beautiful, combined To cheer the heart and soothe the mind. Where Nature, in her happiest mood, Claims but a debt of gratitude." 33. THE MEETING OF THE WATERS— KILL ARNEY. nPHE Meeting of the Waters — that is to say, the waters of the three Lakes, "Killarney Graces : sisters three" — occurs underneath Brickeen Bridge ; the rush of water is not only suppHed by the Lakes : a large and rapid river. The Flesk, is a liberal contributor to the Lakes and so to the Atlantic. Generally it is a fierce current, but occasionally it forms placid pools ; always, however, it runs among rushes, while gigantic ferns (sometimes as high as six feet), where the coveted Regalia is found abundantly. He must be, indeed, dead to all sense of natural beauty who does not receive delight at " all-beautiful Killarney." 'HE Tourist will be sure to meet with kindness, courtesy, and attentive zeal at Killarney : from guides, drivers, boatmen, and from waiters at the several excellent and admirably conducted hotels. For several strong reasons I recommend the Railway Hotel, close to the station : the traveller will be glad to have shelter and repose immediately on his arrival. The manager is an Englishman — formerly manager of the Westminster Palace Hotel. I cannot overrate the systematic arrangements and exceeding comfort of this hotel. In a word it is ' the continual study of all persons and, parties connected with the Lakes to enable Tourists, in all possible ways, to enjoy themselves : to induce them to class their visit among the largest sources of happiness this earth can supply. 34. THE OLD WEIR BRIDGE, KILLARNEY. npHE Old Weir Bridge is a bridge of two arches, only one of which affords a passage for boats, and through this the water of the Upper Lake rushes into the other Lakes on its way, through the Laune, to the sea. The current is exceedingly rapid, and it is usual for Tourists to disembark and walk across the isthmus, meeting the boat on the other side, the passage being considered dangerous to persons who are either easily alarmed or indisposed to take the advice of the boatmen, " Plase to sit quiet." There is pleasure in peril, and the peril is but little where there is a disposition to be calm, and confidence in the helms- man. At times, however, the river is frightfully rapid ; one of the Killarney lions seems to shake his mane in fierce wrath ; the boat is driven rapidly through rock-breakers, when it is deposited in a tranquil pool where there is not a white surf. 36 'T will be at once seen that the passage is not made without danger : indeed the de\'iation of a few inches, either to the right or left, might throw the boat upon a hidden rock ; but only once within the memory of " the oldest inhabitants " and their fathers' fathers has an accident occurred. A boatman was drowned there some eighty years ago ; even now, memory will call up the fatal event, and the boatmen, while resting on their oars, will breathe a prayer for the soul of the McCarthy who perished in the turmoil of the waters under the Old Weir Bridge. Lover wrote some touching lines on the subject. 85. THE OLD WEIR BRIDGE : DISTANT VIEW. /^^F the Old Weir Bridge here is a more distant view; the ^~^^ passage is that which leads from the Upper into the Middle Lake. The trees are the arbutus, so plentifully scattered through- out the district : which give to it, indeed, its special characteristic — in so far as foliage is concerned. Alone, it is not a pic- turesque tree, but mingled, as it always is, with the dark holly, the thickly clad oak, and other forest monarchs, it adds much to the charms of the scenery, everywhere. Its peculiarity is that it bears flowers and fruit, ripe and unripe, at the same time. It flourishes even when its roots seem to have sustenance but from bare stones. " Come to Killarney," said an Irishman to me, " it's there ye'U see Nature — the trees growing out of the solid rock ! " ^HE Tourist, on approaching the lakes, is at once struck by the singularity and the variety of the foliage in the woods that clothe the hills by which on all sides they are surrounded. The effect produced is novel, striking, and beautiful, and is caused chiefly by the abundant mixture of the tree shrub with the forest trees. The arbutus grows in nearly all parts of Ireland ; but nowhere is it fbund of so large a size, or in such rich luxuriance, as at Killamey. The extreme western position, the mild and humid atmosphere (for in Ireland there is fact as well as fancy in the poet's image, — " Thy suns with doubtful gleam Weep while they rise "), and the rarity of frosts contribute to its propagation, and mature it to an enormous growth, far surpassing that which it attains in any other part of Great Britain. It strikes its roots apparently into the very rocks — thus filling up spaces that would otherwise be barren spots in the scener}'. Its most remarkable peculiarity is that the flower (not unlike the lily of the valley) and the fruit — ripe and unripe — are found at the same time, together, on the same tree. The berry has an insipid though not an unpleasant taste, is nearly round, and resembles in colour the wild strawberr}-, whence its common name — the strawberrj'-tree. 36. TORC (THE MIDDLE) LAKE, KILLARNEY. 'T^HE charm of ToRC, or the Middle, Lake is derived princi- pally from its shores ; of islands there are but two, and they are insignificant ; there are no mountains that rise directly from its waters, although lofty Mangerton towers above the comparatively minor mountain of Tore that contains the waterfall. A row round the lake will bring a rich reward ; the rocks are of fantastic form ; Mucross is seen amid the trees ; monster ferns clothe the banks ; wild flowers are abundant ; almost all the closer attractions of the lakes are seen in near proximity, while the magnificent Tore cascade is in view here and there, its roar being distinctly audible wherever the boatmen may take the tourist. TE ask the reader to ascend with us lofty Mangerton. Until within a comparatively recent period it enjoyed the dignity of being the highest mountain in Ireland. Its glory has been taken from it by Carran Tuel ; the one being in height 3,414 feet, the other 2,756 feet. The only mountains that actually rise from the lakes are Tore, Glena, and Toomies ; the Purple Mountain ascends behind the latter, and Carran Tuel is distant some miles. The ascent of Mangerton is not easy work, while that of Carran Tuel is far more arduous and difficult. The view from the mountain top defies any attempt at description ; it was the most magnificent sight we bad ever witnessed, and greatly surpassed even the dream of our imagination. In the far away distance are the broad Atlantic, with the river of Kenmare, the Bay of Bantry, the Bay of Dingle, and the storm-beaten coast of Iveragh ; farther off still, is the Shannon, with Kilrush, and Tarbert. Midway are the mountains of all forms and altitudes, with their lakes, and cataracts, and streams of white foam. At our feet lie the three KiUarney Lakes, with Glena, and Tore, and Toomies, looking like protecting walls girdling them round about. The islands in the Upper and Lower Lakes have, some of them, dwindled into mere specks, while the larger seemed fitted only for the occupation of fairies. The river Flesk winds prettily along the vaUey, and the Flesk bridge with its twenty-one arches resembles a child's toy. The reader will thus obtain some idea of a treat of the highest conceivable order. Let the Tourist — if he have good lungs and is not easily wearied — by all means include this excursion in his programme. 37. THE TORC WATERFALL. /"~* RAND old ToRC, the grandest of all the Killamey Water- ^^ falls, is enclosed, on either side, by thick foliage of mingled holly and arbutus, while rich mosses and ivy pendants and chaplets gracefully intervene among forest trees. The roar of the cataract silences the songs of birds : it makes the grass ever- green by perpetual showers. Ascend the hill, and you stand at 38 the foot of lofty Mangerton and beside the Devil's Punch Bowl ; but the Devil's punch, you may be told, is " always too strong of cowld wather." From the height above the Fall there is a glorious view of the mountains and the Lower Lake. A some- what ludicrous incident occurred when George IV, visited the Lakes. It was summer weather, but a huge volume of water had been collected, so as to render the fall " mighty " when his Majesty was to witness it. An equerry all in glitter and gold preceded the cavalcade, and was mistaken for the King. The sluices were opened ; the Fall was terrifically grand ; but when his Majesty arrived the water had all been expended, and the cataract was as narrow as a thread. ^ORC is one of the major waterfalls that rush from the mountains into the Lakes. It is the largest, the loftiest, and the grandest. It is in the grounds of Mr. Herbert, and adjoins the main road to Kenmare, not far from the pretty village of Cloghreen, where there is perhaps the smallest church in the kingdom — the church of Killaghie. The Fall is between sixty and seventy feet. In the interstices of its rock is some- times found the famous and much-coveted fern, Triconianes speciosiim. Pace a few steps from the main road ; the rush of waters gradually breaks upon the ear, and at a sudden turning the cataract is beheld in all its glory. And glorious, in truth, it is, seen under any circum- stances. Even in the most arid season it is beautiful, the white foam breaking over huge rocks, casting the spray to long distances, rushing and brawling along its course into the valley. In the hot summer-time this waterfall is beautiful ; but in winter, or in winter weather, its magnificence is greatly increased. The water descends in a broad sheet. The first fall is of consider- able width ; the passage is then narrowed, and another fall occurs. Then fol- low a succession of falls, all rushing and foaming against the mountain sides ; and almost from the base of the great fall until it reaches Tore Lake, the river goes leaping from one rock to another. 38. THE EAGLE'S NEST. nPHE Eagle's Nest is midway in the Long Range — the channel that separates the Upper Lake from Tore Lake. It is a coni- cal, tree-clad hill. It was long ago deserted by the birds from whom it takes its name, but legends preserve their fame, and tell how a vagabone sojer cUmbed it one night to stale her children, and tried to blarney the ould aigle, saying, " Do ye think I'd do so mane a thing as to rob the aigle's nest?" "I'll lave it to a neighbour of mine whether ye did or no," says the aigle. So she asked the Echo whether " he came there to rob the aigle's nest ? " 39 In coorse, Echo made answer, " to rob the aigle's nest ! " So wid that she hit him a blow wid her bake betwixt the two eyes, that sent him headlong into the lake. If time has removed the eagles, it has heightened the beauty of their dwelling-place. It is very beautiful. The echoes here are stronger than elsewhere ; the guide will awaken them while the boatmen rest upon their oars. BORROW from myself a description of the echoes at the Eagle's Nest, as I described them — a long time ago. " We put into a little creek on the opposite side of the river, but remained in our boat, having been recom- mended to do so. Our expectation of the coming treat had been highly raised, and we were in breathless anxiety to enjoy it. The bugle-player ? landed, advanced a few steps, and placed the instrument to his lips ; the effect was jiagical — the word conveys a poor idea of its effect. First, I he played a single note — it was caught up and repeated, loudly, softly, — ' again loudly, again softly, and then as if by a hundred instruments, each a thousand times more musical than that which gave its rivals birth, twirl- ing and twisting around the mountain, running up from its foot to its summit, then rolling above it, and at length dying away in the distance until it was heard as a mere whisper, barely audible, far away. Then he blew a few notes — ti-ra-la-ti-ra-la — a multitude of voices seemingly from a multitude of hills, at once sent forth a reply ; sometimes pausing for a second, as if waiting for some tardy comrade to join in the marvellous chorus, then mingling together in a strain of sublime grandeur and delicate sweetness utterly indescribable. Again he sent forth his summons to the mountains, and blew for, perhaps, a minute, a variety of sounds ; the effect was that of ' enchanting ravishment,' giving ' 'Resounding grace to all Heaven's harmonies.' " 39. UPPER LAKE, PURPLE MOUNTAIN. A LL authorities agree in considering the Upper Lake as the grandest of the three sister lakes : it is surrounded by thick foliage ; the islands, though not numerous, are highly picturesque ; and the mountains rise directly from the surface of the water. A boat usually meets the Tourist here, to convey him through the lake, through the Long Range (the river that connects it with Tore Lake and the Lower Lake), and so to either of the hotels at which he may be located. It is, perhaps, easier to imagine than describe the attractions of the row : the oars are always used, for sails produce danger, because of the sudden squalls to which the boat is exposed. Some idea of the lovely magnificence of the scene — on all sides — will be conveyed to you by the art that produces a copy. 40 ^HE day's tour — and the day, if commenced early, \dll exhibit all the leading glories of Killamey — is usually through the Gap of Dunloe, the Black Valley, descending to the Lake, and so home — taking the whole of the course I have described. The Upper Lake is in the midst of mountains — bleak and barren, but mighty in their magnificence. Their dark shadows are thro\m upon the water, so as to give it a character of gloom, in perfect keeping with the loneliness of the scene. One feels as if the sound of a human voice would disturb its solitude, and wishes the oars that row him over the lake were muffled. " To my m.ind," says Inglis, " the L'pper Lake is the most attractive; the mountains are nearest to it; it has not one tame feature." " Once fairly embarked on its waters,'" writes Windele, " and looking back, the illusion of its being altogether land-locked, and enclosed without any opening or mode of egress, seems complete." "On entering the Upper Lake " (I quote from "Weld), " attention is at first wholly engaged by the vastness of the mountains, and next by the extreme ruggedness of the scene." 40. THE GAP OF DUXLOE. KILLARXEY. T F the Killamey Lakes are full of Sylvan beauties, there are also glens of savage grandeur. The Gap of Dunloe is the most famous ; a narrow but rapid river runs through it, brawling angrily as it strives to force aside huge rock-stones that bar its progress ; here and there, it is heard in music under the pedes- trian's feet ; on either side, tower lofty mountains, where even now the eagle builds its nest. The echoes here are very grand. Midway in the Gap, gunners have their stand ; you will be sure to have a shot from one of their cannon. Altogether, a day spent in visiting the Gap of Dunloe, and the objects en route to it, will be one of the greatest treats obtained at the Killamey Lakes. ^HE very entrance to the Gap is a sudden introduction to its marvels ; the visitor is at once convinced that he is about to \-isit a scene rarely paralleled for wild grandeur and stem magnificence ; the singular character of the deep ravine would seem to confirm the popular tradition that it was produced by a stroke of the sword of one of the giants of old, which divided the mountains and left them apart for " ever. Anywhere, and under any circumstances, this rugged and I gloomy pass would be a most striking object ; but its interest and importance are, no doubt, considerably enhanced by the position it occupies in the ver\- centre of gentle and delicious beauty. There wil! always be a ''Kate Iveamey " at the Gap of Dunloe; the reader will recll to memory Lady Morgan's song : "From the glance of her eye Shun danger and fly ; For fatal's the glance of Kate Kearney." Her present representative is a respectable grandmother, with plenty of col- leens to succeed her on her throne. " The King never dies ! " I remember describing the then queen to Lady Morgan, and assTiring her that the 41 " glance " was in no way dangerous to the Tourist ; she answered with a pecuHar nod— " Do you think that at any age women are not dangerous ?" But the Tourist will be annoyed by a host of vendors of horse-hair chains, bog-oak brooches, and so forth ; and must, at all events, succumb to that "danger." The "Ah do's" are irresistible. The purse will not be very much lightened if he yield, in moderation, to their importunities. But he must be warned against the abominable draught of " goat's milk and poteen " ; tlie one taken from a cow, the other brewed in a foul cauldron at Cork. 41. THE BLACK VALLEY, KILLARNEY. T 1 7HEN the Pass terminates, and the tourist is foot- wearied, he suddenly comes upon a scene of unrivalled grandeur. A turning in the narrow pathway brings him over the Upper Lake ; high above " the Black Valley "^the Coom Dhuv. A short time before he may thus indulge in a luxuriant draught of nature, he will examine one of the most singular relics of ancient art. On the side of a lofty hill is the "Logan Stone" — about twenty-four feet in circumference. The peasants call it the " Balance Rock," and it is, no doubt, a Druidical remain of remote antiquity. ]\Ioore likens it to the poet's heart, which " The slightest touch alone sets moving. But all earth's power could not shake from its base." From near this stone, to be reached by a by-path, a magnificent view of the Upper Lake on one side, and of the whole of Coom Dhuv on the other, will be obtained. The somewhat broad river is one of the largest contributors to the Upper Lake. fHE Coom Dhuv, if a gloomy valley in the midst of mountains, descends gradually to Glena and the other beauties of the Upper Lake. The Logan Stone is not the only remains of very remote date to be en- Qjs^ countered at Killamey. There are others, as worthy of examination, Gy9 if the Tourist has time at his command. On the road to the Gap he •^ will pass a library of singular books : a number of large flat stones ^ containing incised inscriptions; some of which have been translated j by great scholars. The cave of Dunloe must, therefore, be regarded as an ancient Irish library, lately disinterred, and restored to the light. The books are the large impost stones which form the roof. Their angles contain the writing. A library of such a literature was never heard of in England before, and scarcely in Ireland ; and yet it is of the highest antiquity. The discovery opened a new page concerning the hitherto disputed question touching the acquaintance of the ancient Irish with letters. The Ogham writing, as it is called, is stated to have been known and practised in Ireland long before the era of Christianity ; it is to the Irish antiquary what the Runes are in the north, and the Arrow-headed or IVedge character is in Babylonia and Persepolis. It is more intelligible, however, than the latter, but far less known and elucidated than the former. As we have said, 42 it has been a much-disputed question among Irish writers ; and as, until a late period, it was nowhere found on monuments, there were not wanting persons disposed to treat the claims of its upholders with contempt, and to regard the character as the imposture of idle hands and sennachies. This is by no means the only "curiosity" of the kind to be met with at Killamey. Inquiry will lead the way to others of nearly equal interest. 42. MUCROSS ABBEY, KILLARNEY. T^HE ivy-clad abbey of MucROSS — a solemn page in a full book of Nature — excites the admiration as well as the veneration of all who visit the Lakes of Killarney. It is a ruin of the deepest interest, not only because environed by so many charms of landscape grace and beauty — attractions of wood and water — unparalleled in the kingdom — but because of its history. There is no more beautiful ruin — a bequest of ancient times. It is always charming, although it induces solemn, perhaps mournful, thoughts and sensations; but to see it "Aright Go \'isit it by the pale moonlight ! " and thus to see it would be alone a recompense for time expended in visiting the Killarney Lakes. ^ ■ 7 HERE are few ruins in the kingdom, and, certainh', none in Ireland, so ■fJlLv striking, interesting, and attractive — having reference to surrounding mjlij scenen' — as that of Mucross. The}- are in the beautiful grounds of gfe Mr. Heibert, on one of the borders of the Middle Lake. The site ^ was chosen with the usual judgment and taste of the " monks of old," twho invariably selected the pleasantest of all pleasant places. The original name was Irrelough ; and it appears that long prior to the I erection of the now ruined structure a church existed in the same spot, ' which was consumed by fire in 1 192. The dormitories, the kitchen, the refectorj', the cellars, the infirmary', and other chambers are still in a state of comparative preservation ; the upper rooms are unroofed, and coarse grass grows abundantly among them. The great fireplace of the refectory is curious and interesting, of enormous size, aflbrding evidence that the good monks were not forgetful of the duty they owed themselves, or of the bond they had entered into, to act upon the advice of St. Paul, "and be given to hospitahty," 43. O'SULLIYANS CASCADE. ^'SULLIVAN'S CASCADE (it hardly assumes the dignity ^-^ of a waterfall) is the prettiest, if not the grandest, of the Falls at the Lakes. It is on the left bank of the Lower Lake, and is heard before it is seen, hidden among close foliage, trees and 43 underwood, and the tall ferns that everywhere predominate. It is a comparatively slow stream ; but it rushes with great rapidity throwing its white foam on either side. Surely, it is one of the charms of Killarney to which the pencil of the artist can do but limited justice ; the only skilful copyist is the art that brings it thus actually before those who would see it in its native grace and beauty. HE legends which account for the existence of the lakes vary in some respects ; but all have one common source — the neglecting to close the entrance to an enchanted fountain, that caused an inundation, and covered, in a single night, fair and fertile fields, and houses and palaces, with water. One of them attributes the misfortune to the daring impiety of an O'Donoghue, who, full of scepticism and wine, scorned the tradition which doomed to destruction the person who I should displace the stone over the well head, and resolved to expose ' its falsity by removing it to his castle : his subjects, to whom his word was law, awaited the result in fear and trembling — all but his favourite jester, who fled to the summit of a neighbouring mountain. The lakes are understood to be thirty miles in circumference ; the distance between the two extreme points — the entrance to the river Laune and the extreme end of the Upper Lake — being about eleven miles (including the "Long Range," about three miles), the greatest width being about two miles and a half. 44. THE LAKES OF KILLARNEY : GENERAL VIEW. JOURNEYING from Kenmare through a poor district of some miles, relieved, however, by a pretty lake full of trout — the lake Luis-na-Canagh — you arrive at the Police Barrack. From an adjacent rock you will obtain a wonderful view ; you will have none grander, more beautiful, or more comprehensive, during your stay at Killarney — be it long or short. The three lakes are within ken, and " the Long Range " — the river that connects the Upper with Tore Lake and the Lower Lake. It is a prospect that but once seen will be retained in memory for ever. THE road, of four or five miles, into Killarney town is one of unmingled beauty ; beside the Upper Lake and Tore Lake, all the way ; leaving the Police Barrack (go where you will you are sure to receive courteous attention and practical help, if needed, from the constabulary, the best disciplined, best conducted, and the most loyal of any police of any part of the world), you soon reach the Tunnel. Then leaving Mucross to the left and Tore Lake, you drive into Killarney town. All the way the road is overhung with huge rocks ; but each of them is richly clothed, some with huge forest trees, others with the lighter and gayer arbutus, while at the bases of all spring up gigantic weeds in marvellous luxuriance, fed perpetually by the clear water that oozes through 44 every crevice, forming here and there miniature cataracts, bearing down tiny pebbles to deposit by the road-side. So, on we go, now and then peeping through breaks in the foliage at the bleak hills opposite, and occasionally crossing a bridge, under whicli rushes a rapid river. One of them, on its way into the lake, forms the cascade of Derricunnihy, and this the tourist must delay to visit. He will see nothing more perfect. The chances are, that in visiting Derricunnihy he will see more than one red deer, for they still inhabit the woods and mountains, and this is their favourite resort ; and so we leave " all-beautiful Killarney " with a grateful and happy remembiance, for the memory that supplies gratitude infers " a joy for ever." 46, LIMERICK CITY. T IMERICK lace, Limerick gloves, Limerick hams, Limerick hooks, and if last, surely not least. Limerick lasses, have obtained large renown in all parts of the world. Some of its ancient walls remain ; it was for centuries a fortified city. Its chief attractions are the very venerable cathedral, and an old castle, " King John's Castle." Although sixty miles from the sea, the river Shannon here broadens out into a fine harbour, and large ships anchor at its quays. Its environs are highly pic- turesque. The grand river — the Shannon — fertilises, as it runs, woods and plains, and populous villages, giving enjoyment to anglers who love " the gentle craft " second to none in Ireland. 'HE great attraction of Limerick — although by no means the only one — is Its majestic and beautiful river; " the king of island rivers," " the principalist of all in Ireland," writes the quaint old naturalist Dr. Gerrard Boate. It takes its rise among the mountains of Leitrim, and running for a few miles as an inconsiderable stream, diffuses into a lake, called Lough Allyn. Issuing thence it pursues its course for several miles, and forms another small lake. Lough Elke ; again spreads itself out into Lough Ree, a lake fifteen miles in length and four in breadth, and thence proceeds as a broad and rapid river, passing by Athlone, then narrowing again until it reaches Shannon harbour, then widening into far-famed Lough Derg, eighteen miles long and four broad, then progressing until it arrives at KiUaloe, where it ceases to be navigable until it waters Limerick City, from whence it flows in a broad and majestic volume to the ocean for about sixty miles, running a distance of upwards of two hundred miles from its source to its mouth — between Loop Head and Kerry Head (the space between them being about eight miles), watering ten counties in its progress, and affording facilities for commerce and internal intercourse, such as are unparalleled in any other portion of the United Kingdom. 45 46. THE TREATY STONE, LIMERICK. " nPHE Treaty Stone," at Limerick, was, not long ago, " honoured " by elevation on a becoming pedestal. For nearly two centuries it had been a neglected, if not a despised, ' relic by the wayside. On this stone was signed the famous — or rather infamous — Treaty of Limerick, on the 3rd of October, 1691, by the several contracting parties — a treaty that was broken in all its primary and important provisions ; and the soldiers of the Third William entered and became possessors of a city they had vainly attempted to take by force of arms : the defence giving to all the nations of the world an example of courage, endurance, and fortitude, such as the world had seldom seen, and paralleled only by the glorious defence of heroic Londonderry. The Treaty of Limerick has its place in history as " the violated treaty." So it was ; and the memory of it is not harmony in English ears. It is one of the grievances of old Ireland that young Ireland re- members. The defence of this city was the latest of three sieges : the Norman chivalry were defeated under its walls ; so were the Ironsides of Cromwell ; so was the army of William III., led by his favourite general — Ginckle. The story of either siege would supply material for a volume ; I have no space for the exciting topic. The treaty that secured to the Irish all, or nearly all, the privileges they demanded, was shamefully and wickedly broken in all its essential provisions. The Irish army, headed by their brave general, Sars- field, was permitted to march out of the surrendered city, and enter into the service of England's perpetual enemy, France. That provision was kept; and payment was subsequently made at Fontenoy. Of the whole army three thousand only either joined the English, or obtained " means to carry them home." The remainder were subsequently embarked for France, and laid the foundation of the famous "Irish brigades" that occupy positions so pro- minent and so honourable in the after wars of Europe. 47. DESMOND'S CASTLE, ADARE. A DARE is but one of the many ruins of castles of the once powerful Irish chieftains, the Desmonds, the great rivals of the Ormonds — the Fitzgeralds and the Butlers being perpetually at feud. A characteristic anecdote is preserved. When a chief- tain of the former, wounded, was borne from the battle-field by the victors, they jeeringly asked, " Where is now the great Earl of Desmond ? " He proudly answered. " He's where he ought to be — on the necks of the Butlers." The old town of Kilmallock, in early times the stronghold of the Desmonds, is so full of ruins that it has been called " the Baalbec of Ireland." 46 'HE history of any one of the many princes of the house of Desmond is a romance — exceeding in marvels the wildest creations of fiction. Several branches of the Fitzgeralds have their living representatives in various parts of Ireland. Though originally Norman, they became "more Irish than the Irish." Not a few of them died on the scaffold; and a war against their adherents was, for centuries, a sort of crusade. Adare was one of their most renowned seats, where they exercised powers unlimited and unrestrained. It is now the property of the Earl of Dunraven, whose eldest son is Viscount Adare. The vicinity is full of evidence of the former power of the mighty race. One cannot drive a mile through the interesting district without being reminded that we are in the territory of the all but roval Desmonds. 48. CONG ABBEY, Co. MAYO. /^~^ONG ABBEY is in Mayo county, bordering the " wild west," ^-^ at the head of Lough Corrib, that pours its waters into Gal way Bay, supplying during its passage enough water-power to turn all the spindles of INIanchester, but meeting hardly a mill of any kind on its way. The abbey is renowned. The " Cross of Cong," one of the most perfect and beautiful of ancient Irish relics, was found here ; and under its venerable walls rolls a rapid subterranean river. Here lies the dust of Roderick O'Connor, the last monarch of Ireland. Here, too, are remains of far earlier dates. Altogether for its antiquities, its beauty of age, and the many landscape charms of wood, and lake, and river, there is, perhaps, no ruin in Ireland so attractive as the Abbey of Cong. *T will require a long day to examine the "curiosities" in and about Cong. A sort of belfry yet exists, where a bell was suspended ; to the bell was attached a line with a baited hook : when a salmon took the bait, notice was given by the sound of the bell ; the fish was hauled in and made the dinner of the monks. The grave of the last Irish king is pointed out, and that of the last abbot, who died some fifty ^ years ago ; the remains are of much architectural beauty. The hiding- I holes of f.imous freebooters are shown. A natural tunnel of four miles long, connecting the Lakes Corrib and Mask, will be explored ; and here may be seen, in one of the rock-holes, the brace of trout that never die. They have been often taken and consigned to the frying-pan, but next day were sure to be encountered swimming merrily about in the " ould place." I saw them with my own eyes, but mine would not have been the hand to remove them. Cong is full of natural and artificial wonders. 49. THE ROCK OF CASHEL. nPHE Rock of Cashel is the most famous of all the ruins of Ireland. It is covered by ecclesiastical remains of remote ages that have excited admiration and enthusiasm during 47 many centuries, and will continue to do so for centuries to come. The ruins are in the heart of Tipperary. Thus Shiel referred to them in one of his eloquent addresses to his constituents of that county : — " The first object that, in my childhood, I learned to admire was that noble ruin, an emblem as well as a memorial of Ireland, at once a temple and a fortress ; the seat of religion and nationality, where councils were held, where princes assembled ; the scene of courts and of synods, on which it is impossible to look without feeling the heart at once elevated and touched by the noblest as well as the most solemn recollections." 'HE city of Cashel is now but a poor place. Its aspect, like that of its venerable ruins, is time-worn ; it is the seat of an archbishop, and was, in the fifth century, a favourite residence of the kings of Munster. St. Patrick himself is said to have founded one of its churches, on the site of a structure dedicated to Pagan worship. The place is fertile of legend and tradition ; its history reads like romance : relics of high-class architectural sculpture are found in abundance. Let the reader then imagine the beautiful pile of sacred edifices crowning the entire summit of a huge limestone rock, completely isolated and occasionally precipitous, standing in the midst of a luxuriant country, " The Golden Vale," and commanding an extensive prospect — bounded on one side by the lofty range of the Galtic mountains, but permitting upon all other sides the eye to wander over miles upon miles of a richly cultivated and productive land. If the adjacent country is seen to great advantage from the rock, the rock and its time-honoured structures have a reraarkaby fine effect beheld from any point of view. 50. HOLY CROSS ABBEY. T TOLY CROSS ABBEY, not far from Cashel, derives its name from a universal belief that among its venerated relics, at an early period of Irish history, was a fragment of the true cross. We need not pause to inquire if the statement be fact : but it is said that if pieces afifirm.ed to be veritable were brought together there would be wood enough to build a seventy-four-gun ship. The venerable abbey stands on a bank of the " gentle Suir." It had peculiar privileges : its abbot was a peer of Parliament, styled Earl of Holy Cross. It ranks among the first, if not the very first, of ecclesiastical ruins in Ireland, w'here so many of deep interest and of hallowed beauty may be found. 48 'T is needless to say that Tourists in Ireland who are not hurried, but have time at their disposal, will be amply recompensed by examining such relics of remote ages as the two we have described — that of Cashel and that of Holy Cross. They will be found existing in every county through which tourists travel ; ruins, but forcible, interesting, and deeply touching; -§> witnesses — living, though dead — of the natural, so to speak, instinctive, JuvvC3»JtrJuiLS OF IRISH SCENERY.

OPINIONS OF THE IRISH PRESS. Irish Titnes. — We have received from Messrs. PouLTON, of London, a number of capital photographs of Christ Church Cathedral, which are exceedingly well executed, and reproduce faithfully the principal attractions of the Church in its restored condition. There are two exterior views besides pictures of the Chancel, the Nave (from two points of view), the Baptistr}-, the Lady Chapel, the Pulpit, the Screen, and the Organ. Messrs. Poulton have also published a very fine set of views of Dublin and Wicklow, part ot a general series of photographs of Irish scenery and notable places. Saunders^ Irish Daily News. — "We have received a number of views of Christ Church Cathedral, and found that the illustrations were well worthy of the subject. Of the mere mechanical work of these excellent views we will say little. The artistes, ^Messrs. Pol'LTON and Son, it is evident, are in the first rank of their profession, and the printing and workmanship of the views are perfect. But in these pictures there is something more than mere photograph}' ; there is art — art exhibited in the choice of the different standpoints from which the views are taken, and great art displaj-ed in the manner in which the artist waited and caught the light best suited for that part of the church which he was at that time illustrating. There is one view we would more particularly call the attention of the public to — that is, " The Baptistry." This in itself consti- tutes a perfect picture. Call it a study of lights, a symphony in black and white, and it is inimitable. The rich light floods the background and middle distance, while the foreground is bathed in sombre shade. The font in the middle distance forms a dark resting place for the eye, if wearied by the dazzling sunshine of the baptistry. The picture of the pulpit is also a delightful study in light and shade. The first photograph in the collection, "Christ Church," is also very good. The white stone of the renovations comes out, perhaps, a little too glaringly, and mars the venerable look of the whole ; but this is the handiwork of the architect, not of the photo- grapher, and it is a fault that time will correct as the days go by. The whole collection is well worthy of examination, and we congratulate ^Messrs. Poulton and Son, of London, on their happy effort in illustrating one of our finest cathedrals. The Freemari's Journal (Dubhn). — IMessrs. Poulton and Son, London, have sent us a series of photographic views of renovated Christ Church, which they have lately had taken. They are really very fine specimens of what the camera and lens can do in the waj- of art. The operator has taken up his positions with judgment, presenting us, in the first instance, with a fine coup d'teil in which the whole of the south-western aspect of the pile of building is presented with a sharpness and a beauty of detail that could not possibly be exceeded. In another he has given us the exterior at one of its prettiest, if not most imposing points — that is to say, the centre, looking from a south-easterly point, where the great central tower forms, together with the massive porchway and the pentagonal eastern end of the building, a fine pyramidal cluster of stone work. The interior views are brought out with much fidelity, considering the many points at which the light crossed and re-crossed from side arches and elevated windows. In some of the pictures the effect of this is clearly shown in a dash of cJn'a'ro.osciiro that no finger but the sun's could ever produce. The plates are all remarkably good and are of large size. Dublin Evening Mail. — Messrs. Poulton and Son, of London, have published a series of photographs of the exterior and interior of Christ Church Cathedral which cannot fail to find favor with every admirer of the restored edifice. These are of sufficient size for a portfolio, and have been produced in the most perfectly artistic manner, with exquisite choice of situation, and the best bits of architectural perspective and the richest specimens of the carving have been included. The represented portions of the Cathedral, besides the elevation, are the Nave (looking west), the Nave (looking east), the Baptistry, the Ladye Chapel, the Pulpit, the Organ, the Chancel, and the Screen. Not the least successful of these— and all are excellent — is the Pulpit, the elaborate carving of which is beautifully brought out. The marble pillars at the base have been reproduced most perfectly, although, perhaps, a view of it in a more distant perspective, among its contrasting surroundings of simpler columns, would have conveyed a better idea of it as a striking feature in the edifice. The Ladye Chapel is a perfect photograph, in which the effect of PoiUton's Artistic Irish Scenery. the light at the happy moment selected has been to sharpen all the features of the arches and capitals of the pillars and to give a very adequate suggestion of its general characteristics. The gem of the series, however, is the Baptistry, which with its metal doors flung back makes a picture of Oriental richness and extreme purity and warmth of tone. The nearer view of the Screen affords a good conception of this costly piece of work, which, to many, will seem not in harmony with the delicacy of form that marks every part of the original architecture. The exterior of the noble pile is admirably taken and from the best possible points. The whole series will enable strangers to form a judgment of the structure and its singular beaut)', both from within and with- out, and also inspire the same feelings of delight with which it is regarded in Dublin as the most ancient of our Irish temples, and no better souvenir could be borne away by visitors than the PouLTON series of photographs. Cork Constitution. — Messrs. PouLTON AND Son, of London, have sent us some specimen photographs of local scenery in the Co. Cork and Killarney. They are among the most clear and beautiful that we have seen, combining great vigour with delicacy and softness of detail. Cork Exa7niner. — Messrs. PouLTON AND Son, of London, have issued a series of photographs illustrative of Irish scenery, some of which have reached us. They comprise scenes familiar to the inhabitants of the South, and will be regarded here with great interest. They include amongst others Patrick's Bridge, St. Vincent's Church (seen from the Mardyke), Monks- town, Blarney Castle, Cormac's Chapel, Cashel, and several views in Killarney. They are all taken evidently by a photographer with an artistic eye. None of them are of a conventional type, and they form a series of really exquisite landscapes. Limerick Chronicle. — The new series of photograhphic views of Irish scenery which have been issued from the Photo Publishing Establishment of Messrs. Poulton and Son, London, are certainly the most beautiful we have yet seen. They are thoroughlj' accurate in every detail, and bring out in the most perfect manner the various points of interest. The illus- trations include the following views of the South of Ireland : — " The Chancel, Muckross Abbey, Killarney ; " " Reginald's Tower, Waterford ; " " Jerpoint Abbey, county Kilkenny ; " and " View from Dinis Island, Killarney." The series reflect much credit on the eminent firm which has brought them forth, and we hope to see them followed by others of as high a standard of excellence. Bassett's Limerick Daily Chronicle. — We have to thank Messrs. Poulton and Son, Photo Publishers, of London, for some exquisitely finished specimens of a new series of photographs of scenes in Ireland, including the ancient Cathedral of Limerick, the Fitzgihbon Monument, a View of the Wellesley Bridge, Blarney Castle, the Bay of Kilkee (from the West side), and the following views of Killarney : — The Gap of Dunloe, Tore Lake, and the Meeting of the Waters, Waterford Daily Mail. — Messrs. Poulton AND Son have pubhshed a new series of photographs of Irish scenery. Those we have seen of Waterford, Dunbrody Abbey, Dunmore, Tramore, and other local and picturesque places are well executed, and reflect much credit on the artists. Munster Express^'^z.itxioxA. — Messrs. Pouiton and Son have pubhshed a new series of photographs of Irish scenery. Those we have seen of Waterford, Dunbrody Abbey, Dunmore, Tramore, and other local and picturesque places are well executed, and reflect much credit on the artists. Waterford Citizen. — We have received from PouLTON AND Son, of London, a selection of admirably executed photographic views of Irish scenerj', principally local. which deserve high praise. Amongst them are views of Dunbrody Abbey, Dunmore lEast), Waterford (from above the Bridge), the Mall, &c., which are marvels of clearness and artistic efi"ect. These charming pictures have only to be seen in order to secure a widely-extended patronage. Kilkenny Moderator. — A new series of photographs of Ireland have recently been published by Messrs. Poulton and Son, London, whose splendid photo publishing establish- ment is celebrated in England. We have received some specimens of views in this loralitj'. and we are enabled to say that as truthful pictures they could not possibly be excelled, whilst their artistic finish is only what should be expected from jlessrs. Poulton. Kilkenny Castle, famed as it is far and wide for the magnificence of its architecture and for its historic associations, furnished the artist with scenes from different points of view. The Picture Gallery is photographed in a way that far surpasses anything of the kind we have yet seen of this noble apartment. The grand proportions of the Gallery, the wealth of the art treasures it contains, and its sumptuous appointments are produced with a pleasing effect. There is also a fine view of the Castle as seen from the centre of John's Bridge. The picture of John's Bridge, as seen from the Canal Walk, taking in the Lodge, is a beautiful one, the lodge keeper, who is also the Mayor's mace bearer, being photographed in the foreground. The view of the City from the Castle is a charming picture, as is also another from Altamont Hill. " The Banks of the Nore " is a fine view of the river scenery below Greene's Bridge, taking in St. Canicc's Cathedral. Of this venerable pile there are two other views, one of the exterior and a beautiful view of the interior, looking from the chancel to the western window. There is also a very fine picture of the interior of the Roman Catholic Cathedral. Messrs. Poulton have also sent us a view of the " Meeting of the Waters." We commend these photographs to the favourable notice of the local public, and trust that the successful efforts of the firm to produce faithful representations of celebrated scenes in Ireland will receive that support they so well merit. Poidiofis Artistic Irish Scenery. Kilkenny Journal. — We have received some specimens of photographic \aews of the principal objects of interest in Kilkenny, and the surrounding locality, recently published by the well known firm of Poulton and Son. London. The artist has been very successful in the production of his pictures, and, with the aid of the newest and most improved apparatus, was enabled to supply the publishers with a series of photographs, which we need not hesitate to com- mend to the notice of our readers as worthy of high praise for artistic finish and judicious scenic selection. Northern Whi^, Belfast. — We have received large photographs of Queen's College, Belfast ; Elrawood Presbyterian Church, Belfast ; Grey Abbey ; Waterside, Coleraine ; Hermit's Cave, Newcastle ; St. Columb's Cathedral, Londonderry ; Walker's Monument, Londonderry; the Rope Bridge, Carrick-a-Rede ; the Giant's Causeway; and the Giant's Head, Giant's Causeway, from Messrs. Poulton and Son, London. The majority of the scenes have been reproduced with marked success, even the sky, for instance, in the St. Columb's Cathedral and Elmwood Church views being admirably caught. The photographers have shown discrimi- nation in the selection of the various points of view, and their productions are worthy of being placed on the walls of Irish homes. Belfast Morning News. — We have received from Messrs. PoULTON AND Son, London, a series of photographs of Ulster scenery. They constitute a part of a series, embracing all the most remarkable places in this country, and recently published by this firm. Among those illustrating our own province may be mentioned Donegal! Place, Carlisle Memorial Church, Elmwood Church, Donegall Castle, Grey Abbey, Garron Tower, Glenarm, and several views of the Giant's Causeway. These photographs, we can confidently say, are not surpassed by anything we have hitherto seen in this department of the art. They are admirable in definition, tone, and finish, and their publication should prove extremely popular in this country. Ulster Examiner, Belfast. — ^We have just now before us a new series of photo- graphic views of the North of Ireland, published by Messrs. Poulton and Son, London, and we have to offer our congratulations to the enterprising firm, not alone on the admirable manner in which the various views have been executed, but also upon the care, discrimination, and taste with which the subjects have been selected. The happiness of the choice shows that the duty of selection has been entrusted to a true artist, who, with an eye for the beautiful, has skill to teach him from whence that beauty may be seen to the best advantage. We understand the firm is pub- lishing, or has published, views of the scenery of Ireland generally, but those of which we now write are subjects of which we can best speak, being confined to this locality. They treat of scenes many of which by artists have hitherto been passed unnoticed ; but the success which has attended the efforts of Messrs. Poulton and Son does not speak well for the discretion of those who failed, if not to admire, at least to record their beauty. These photographs, one and all, show an amount of skilful treatment rarely so admirably displaj'ed by the photo artist when nature is his subject. The excellent tone of the pictures, the successful blending of light and shade, the boldness of the outlines, and the accuracy of the details are features which must recommend them to the attention of all who care for nature in her truth and her unadorned loveliness. First amongst them we would place the " Haystacks of the Causeway," the boldness of which have been caught with much truthfulness. "Grey Abbey" is also finely treated, and makes an excellent picture, the melancholy aspect of the venerable pile being admirably expressed. " Larne Harbour," so often passed unnoticed by thousands unconscious of its beauty, makes an exceedingly fine prospect. The position from which the \'iew is given affords the advantage of seeing the pretty little town and harbour at its best. " Garron Tower" maybe reckoned one of the most succesful photographs of the number, and in every particular displays admirable treatment. Views are also given of the Spanish Head, Coleraine, and some of the churches of Belfast, all of which in the same measure deserve admirable mention. While complimenting the Messrs. Poulton and Son, we have also to thank them for endeavours which must create more general interest in the much neglected scenery of our country, Derry Standard. — Messrs. PouLTON AND Son, London, have sent us a number of views which, from their highly finished style of execution and the interesting scenes they depict, are likely to meet with a large measure of popularity in this district. The pictures are large enough to fill a medium sized frame, and are everj' one of them creditable specimens of photographic art. The views to hand represent the Northern Bank, Derry ; Interior of Derry Cathedral ; the Foyle and Shippmg at the Quay ; Foyle College ; Governor Walker's Pillar; Ship- quay Street, from the East ; Portstewart ; and the river side at Cushendall. Londonderry Journal. — Messrs. Poulton and Son, Photographers, London, have just completed a series of photograpic views of Irish scenery, which should command a ready sale. The views include almost every place in the north and south possessing an interest for the traveller or student of Irish historj', and are exquisite specimens of photographic art. Londonderry Sentinal. — We have received from ^lessrs. Poulton and Son, London, several photographs of \'iews of scenery and public buildings in this neighbourhood, all of which are creditably executed. The best of the scenic views is that of Moville, which is a faithful delineation of this pleasant seaside retreat. The pictures of Derry Cathedral, Bishop's Gate Magee College, and interior of Roman Catholic Cathedral should command a ready sale in this district. Amongst this series are excellent views of Rathmullan Castle and Ballycastle and portions of Giant's Causeway. PoultotHs Artistic Irish Scenery. Newry Reporter. — ^We have been presented by Messrs. Poulton and Son, Photographers, London, with a series of large handsomely-mounted photos of scenes in this neighbourhood. They are almost all of them executed with g^reat delicacj" of finish, and more particularly is this the case in a picture of the Irish Cross in the old burying ground at Rosstrevor. "\Ve can confidently recommend Messrs. Poulton's views to the notice of our readers. Ulster Gazette, Armagh. — Messrs. Poulton and Son, of London, have for- warded us a series of photographs of the North of Ireland, which are highly creditable to them as works of art. The views are about double the size of a cabinet photo, mounted on cardboard, and are very suitable for framing. The clearness of the views is very remarkable. For instance, in the photo of Archbishop Beresford's Tomb, in the Cathedral, the figures on the stained glass window are as clearly brought out as if one were looking at the window itself. St. Mark's Church is beautifully done, as also are the other views in the neighbourhood of Armagh. Among views which we have received are " The Methodist College," Belfast ; " Grey Abbey," " Donard Falls," Newcastle; "The Haystacks," Giant's Causeway; "Londonderry Cathedral," &c., &c. They are all finished in the best style, and would satisfy an artist's critical eye. Coleraine Chronicle. — -We have received from Messrs. Poulton and Son, of London, a magnificent set of new photos of localities in this neighbourhood. We can testify to their admirable correctness, their exquisite beauty of finish, and the superior stj-le in which they are turned out. Among the series are the Salmon Leap, Castleroe ; the Town Hall, Coleraine ; Cole- raine Parish Church ; Downhill Castle ; Coleraine Bridge ; Portstewart ; Portrush ; the Giant's Causeway ; Dunluce Castle, 8:c. These truly splendid photographs should command a ready and extensive sale. Coleraine Constitution. — Messrs. Poulton and Son, Photographers, London, have sent us several specimens of photographic views taken in Coleraine and the surrounding neighbourhood. They include the Town Hall, Coleraine : the IManor House, Waterside and Bridge Street; Castlerock Church, Hotel, &c.; the Cliffs of Garron Point, Red Bay, Water Foot, and Garron Tower, Cushendall. These views are amongst the most perfect we have ever seen. POULTON'S NEW AND ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF IRISH SCENERY.
