PREFACE.

JL HE candour and liberality with which my propo pofals for this work have been received, call upon me to apologize for the length of time that has elapfed fince they were firft publifhed. The moft effectual and fatisfactory method of doing this, will be, to relate the motives which originally induced me to ftep afide from my profeflional ftudies, into the province of the geographer, and have finally determined me on offer- ing to the public an entire new Map of the kingdom of Ireland.

The firft idea of the work was fuggefted by the difficulties which I had often experienced, in endea- vouring to trace out the ecclefiaftical divifion of the kingdom, and to afcertain the limits of each diocefe. Nothing can be more intricate than thofe divifions ; their boundaries and extent having little or no depend- ance on thofe of counties and baronies. The clergy of the county of Galway are under the patronage of five

b different ii PREFACE.

different Sees ; and thofe of the Queen's County, which in fize is not a fourth of Galway, depend upon

as many ; while the bifhops of Meath and Killaloe extend their jurifdiclion into fix counties.

The ecclefiaftical and civil divifions of the kingdom

being fo unaccountably intermixed ; it occurred to me, that a Map of Ireland, in which the extent of every

diocefe and the fite of their feveral parifhes mould be af-

certained, might be acceptable to the public : and I was

tempted to undertake it. Having therefore communi-

cated my intention to moft of the Bifhops, it was imme-

diately honoured with their Lordfhips approbation; and,

encouraged by their patronage, I proceeded in my defign. But that defign went no farther, at nrft, than to in-

fert thefe particulars in a faithful copy of one of the

belt and moll modern maps of this country : and it

was not till after I had employed much time and pains

on it, that I found the fcale which I had adopted, of

ten miles to an inch, too contracted for my purpofe ; and the maps which I intended to follow, fo full of

errors and defects, as to require almoft perpetual cor-

rection.

What was then to be done ?—I could neither refolve to relinquish my defign, nor fubmit to the publifhing a map crowded and full of faults.—I determined, therefore, PREFACE. 111

fore, at once, to alter and enlarge my plan ; thinking-

that my leifure hours could not be better employed

than in correcting the geography of this kingdom.

For this end I was obliged to fet about my work, as

if no general map of Ireland had been extant : and without paying the fmalleft attention to thofe of Moll,

Jeffereys, Kitchin, Rocque, Bowles, ckc. I have con-

Jlrucleda new one, upon two meets, by a fcale of fix miles to an inch, from the befl authorities and mod

authentic information that I have been able to procure.

A perfectly correct map cannot be expected, till every

county has been accurately furveyed ; and it is to be lamented, that the aftronomer and the engineer have been

fo much lefs employed in fettling the geography of the

Britifh Iflands, than in afcertaining that of our diflant pofTeflions. The coafts and harbours of India and

America are better known, and more correctly laid

down, than thofe of Ireland or even of Great Britain.

In the year 1655, Sir William Petty furveyed all the forfeited lands in the kingdom; under which defcription the greater part of mofh counties, and the whole of others were included. Since that period, twelve coun-

ties only have been furveyed ; and of thofe no more than nine maps are publifhed. Thofe of Meath, Donegal, and Tyrone, and the new map of Armagh, 1 continue vr PREFACE. continue in manufcript, and are depofited in the refpective court-houfes, for the ufe of the gentlemen of each county.

But as Ireland is rapidly increafing in population and opulence, and liberally encourages every art

and fcience ; there can be little doubt, that the time is

not very diftant, when the topography of every part of it will be completely afcertained.

Meanwhile I offer to the public this Map ; in which

I have endeavoured to give a faithful reprefentation of the face of the country; by delineating, with all the

precifion in my power, the courfe of rivers, the fituation and comparative heights of mountains, and the relative

fize and confequence of towns and villages : and I flat-

ter myfelf that it will afford fome interefUng informa-

tion, not only to Irifhmen and Britons, but even to fo-

reigners.

The mountainous appearance of the weftern coafts

will account for the little ufe that is made of fome of

the fineft harbours in the world; the multitude of parifh.es

in the eaftern and fouthern counties, prove thofe to have

been the moft wealthy and populous parts of the king-

dom, at a very early period. Many political and hifto-

rical deductions, which may be drawn from the local

circumftances of a country, will ferve either to confirm or PREFACE. v

or refute its ancient and obfcure annals. Few countries

in the world have experienced greater viciflitudes than

Ireland; having been, if we may give credit to her hifto-

rians, populous and civilized, long before the days of

St. Patrick ; and having funk, afterwards, into a flate

of almoft favage ignorance and barbarifm. Inftances

of fuch degeneracy are not frequent, and much has

been written of late, with great ingenuity, to dis- prove the exiftence of that flourishing flate, which me is faid to have enjoyed in remote ages. With- out entering here into a difquifition of fo nice a quef- tion ; or attempting to decide between the zealous champions for her ancient grandeur, and the fceptical antiquaries, who endeavour, by learned arguments and

reafoning, to confute long-credited traditions ; I (hall only obferve, that if, in the warmth of national enthu- liafm, one party feems to raife the glory of ancient Ire- land too high ; the other, perhaps, through an honeft in- dignation againft the legendary tales and fiction, that fo often fully the page of early hiftory, too much deprefs its former condition.—The truth may probably lie between them.—And an intimate acquaintance with the face of this country, joined to an attentive obfervation of the changes it has undergone, and of the various monuments of antiquity which ftill remain in every vi PREFACE. every part of it, is effentially necefTary to the philofo- phic enquirer, and his fureft guide in the inveftigation of its true hiftory, during the times which preceded the reign of Henry II. and the three fucceeding ages.

But to return to the immediate fubject of this memoir; I fhall now enumerate the fources from which I have drawn my information, and the authorities upon which I have ventured to deviate from former geographers. The ufe I have made of thefe authorities, and the manner in which I have compared and combined them, fhall be particularized in the following fheets.

Sir William Petty's Maps of Ireland, and of each of its counties, firft made public in 1685, have been the ground-work of mine, as well as of every other map of this kingdom, that has been published in the courfe of this century.

The Ecclesiastical part of my map is much in- debted to them, but ftill more to his orignal furveys of the feveral baronies and parifhes, which are preferved as records, in the Surveyor-general's office, in the Caftle of Dublin. To thefe I had free and frequent accefs through the liberal and obliging permiflion of Mr. Hand- cock, deputy furveyor-general.

I have PREFACE. vii

I have received conflderable affiftance from the map of the countyof Down, publifhedwithout a name, in 1 767; and from that of Lough Neagh and its environs, by Lendrick in Mr. J. 1785. His map of Antrim, pub- lifhedin 1780, and Mr. Neville's of Wicldow in 1760, with lieutenant Alexander Taylor's excellent and accurate maps of Kildare and Louth, the former in 1780. and the latter in 1787, have enabled me to give a very true reprefentation of thofe counties.

Rocque's Map of the county of Dublin has afforded much information. His Map of Armagh in 1760, and Oliver Sloanc's of the Queen's County, engraved about thirty years ago, though very inferior performances,

were however of fome ufe; and Mr. Pelham's recent

furvey of Clare, fully eftablimes the topography of that county.

To thefe mull be added an old furvey of Cork har-

bour, publiilied by Mount and Page ; one, of the har-

bour of Waterford by William Doyle in 1735, and another by M. M'Kenzie in 1767; with Mr. Cowen's maps of the river Shannon, and Mr. N. Roche's of the Suir.

I have alfo confulted Dr. Smith's account of the ancient and prcfent ftate of the counties of Cork, Wa- terford, and Kerry; and have derived great advantage,

in viii PREFACE. in delineating the coafts, from Mr. Mackenzie's, and Captain Huddart's charts.—MefTrs. Taylor and Skin- ner's very exact and ufeful furvey of the roads of Ire- land, has been of great fervice to me in many refpects, but principally in afcertaining the diftances of towns and reprefenting the face of the country.

Bende thefe printed authorities I have been favoured with the ufe of fome excellent drawings.—To the

Grand Juries of Donegal and Tyrone, I am obliged,

for the liberty of reducing to the fcale of my map,

their large and elegant maps of thofc counties, which

were actually furveyed a few years ago, and I have

reafon to believe, with great fkill and accuracy, by

Mef£ Macrea of Lifford.—-I have been alfo indulged,

at Armagh, with a tranfcript of the new map of that

county, by the fame artifts. Sloane's map of Meath,

which is on a large fcale, has fupplied me with the

relative positions of places in that county.

I have had the advantage of tracing the rivers Shan-

non, Boyne, and Brofna, from Mr. Bernard Scale's

furveys of thofe rivers, by permiffion of Mr. Lof-

tus, and the commiffioners of impreft accounts,

in whofe office thofe plans are depofited. Colonel

A furvey of the whole tract of country, through which a canal was fome years ago propofed to be made, from Dublin to the river Inny, was kindly communicated to me by William Smyth of Barbavilla Efq; and has aflifted me in correcting the fituation of places and the courfe of rivers along that line ; through parts of the counties of Meath and Weftmeath.

The courfe of the grand and royal canals, as far as they are executed, I have received from the accurate pencil of their furveyor, Mr. John Brownrig. To the Rev. Mr. Whitelaw, and the Rev. Mr. Harvey, my grateful acknowledgements are due, for the unfo- licitcd communications of their elegant maps of the baronies of Tirawly, in the county of Mayo, and of

Inifhowen, in Donegal. Nor muft I omit to thank

Lieutenant Taylor, who is actually engaged in furvey- ing the county of Longford, for a fketch of the diftances and bearings of the feveral towns in that county; which he very obligingly communicated at the requeft of my learned and ingenious friend Richard Lovel Edgworth, Efq.

But nothing can more effectually contribute to rec- tify the geography, and to afcertain the figure and c extent ;

obfervations : and of thefe I have availed myfelf, whenever I could depend upon their precifion.—Such are thofe which I received from a much lamented friend, and excellent aflronomer, the late Dr. Usfher, F. R. S. and ProfelTor of aftronomy in the Univerfity of Dublin and thofe with which I was fupplied, by the friendfhip the Dr. of Armagh, and the of Rev. J. A. Hamilton politenefs of Dr. Longfield of Cork. Their obfervations, with thofe of Mr. Mafon, in Donegal, as publimed in the tranfaclions of the Royal Society, for the year

1770, and a few others, have authorized me to make fome confiderable changes, in delineating the

form of this ifland ; and thereby to give a truer reprefentation, as I apprehend, of the fhape and fize of it,

than what any of the printed maps exhibit.

It is with great regret that I feem to caft any reflec-

tion on the ufeful labours of Dr. Smith; but I think

it my duty to mention, in this place, that although

his authority is very refpeclable in other matters; little

reliance is to made on the latitude and longitude

which he affigns to places, from his own obfervations.

To do all that was in my power towards improving and correcting the geography of this kingdom, I employed two fummers in vifiting the different counties, and particularly the remote parts, for which I had not any authentic documents ; and in the courfe of thefe tours I collected much information from gentlemen

I have only now to intreat the indulgence of the

public for the errors and inaccuracies which, after all my pains, will be found in the Map. With fuch ma-

unavoidable ; and fome, I fear, are to be imputed to

the infufficiency of my own judgment. For, in thofe

cafes where certainty was wanting, I have been forced to

recur to reafoning and conjecture : and at the fame

The immediate object of the following memoir is to point out the principal defects of the former Maps

of Ireland, which are amended in mine ; and, in illuf- tration of the new Map, to give a iliort defcription of the feveral counties, with refpect to their foil, extent,

population, and commerce ; together with a fummary account of the ccclefiaftical cftablifhment in each diocefe.

The necefTary limits of fuch a memoir preclude more than a mere fketch of the prefent ftate of the kingdom. But if I mould have the happinefs of

finding, that this efTay is received with indulgence ; I may perhaps, at a future day, offer to the public a more full and particular account of Ireland. In the part which relates to the Church, I fliould propofe to trace the hiftory of each diocefe, and to mark the various alterations that have taken place in its eftablim- ments, from the earlieft period. I mould alfo endeavour to ftate with precifion the circum dances of every

parifh ; fuch as their patronage, extent, impropriations

and glebes ; the valuation in the king's books, the firft- fruits, crown-rents, procurations, and other charges to liable which they may be ; with any peculiarities that relate to them.—In the other part, I would treat the the topography of country hiftorically ; and not only

ing profperity of the kingdom, the gradual but vaft

increafe of its population and opulence, and the con-

the operation of internal difTentions, and foreign inva-

flow from the fettlement of the country, the progrefs of

DESCRIPTION ( xv )

DESCRIPTION of the MAP.

THOSE parts of the fea coaft, which are bounded by ridges of lofty and abrupt rocks, are fo clearly marked by the graver, that it is unneceflary to do more than mention, that the diflinclion is made. The boundaries of the bishopricks are expreiTed by a chain of

fmall pearls ; and where they coincide with the bounds of counties or baronies, the pearls are intermixed with the round or long dots, by which thofe bounds are refpeclively denoted.

But that the civil and ecclefiaftical di virions may be clearly diftinguifhed at the fame time; the limits of every diocefe may be illu- minated by a broad pale colour, while the counties and baronies in each province, are coloured in the ufual manner.

To point out the fituation of the parifhes, I have placed every church in its proper fite; and the eye will at once diitinguiih exifting churches from fuch as are in ruins. To thefe I have added, wherever they remain, as an interesting objecl to the curious antiquary, thofe Angular buildings, which are peculiar to

Ireland, the round towers. Thefe towers are all cylindrical, and of ftone; they vaiy in height from 50 to 140 feet, and from eight to twelve feet in diameter, in the clear. Some are of excellent, and even elegant workmanfhip, and others of very rude mafonry; but all without flairs. They have commonly four win- dows, very near the top; and the door, which is elevated ten or twelve feet above the ground, is turned towards the church ; on the xvi DESCRIPTION of the MAP. the north-weft fide of which they are generally fituated, though at various diftances.

But of the age in which they were erected, or of the ufe which was made of them, no certain account has yet been collected from Iriih hiftory or tradition.

I have appropriated the Roman character exclufively to the names of parifhes, fo that when a town or village bears the fame name as the pariih in which it lies, it is expreffed in roman characters ; but when they differ, the name of the pariih is in

Roman, and that of the town or village in Italicks.

The letters R. V. &c. which follow the name of each pariih, fhew whether it be a rectory or vicarage, &c. A fmgle line under the name of a vicarage denotes that the rectory is a lay impropriation} and a double line, that the tythes of the whole pariih are impropriate.

The names of all cities, towns, and boroughs, which have the privilege of returning members to parliament, and thofe only,

are expreffed in capital letters.

I have taken care to reprefent the mountains in a fuch a man-

ner as might nearly fhew the fpace they occupy; I have alfo endeavoured to give an idea of their comparative height, by the varied ftrengh of fhading; and the engraver has, except in a very few inftances, exactly followed my drawing. The infertion of the high roads, would have much crowded

crofs pofts by afmgle one, and the poft towns are diftinguifhed by

It may be fatisfaclory to fee with what noted places in England, and even on the continent, the different parts of Ireland agree in

latitude. I have therefore marked on the eaftern fcale line of the

map, the parallels of fome of the principal towns in England,

and of a few cities in Europe and Alia; and on the weftern fcale

line, the relative fituation of North-America to this ifland. The fcale lines on the north and fouth, will fhew how much more to

the weft Ireland is fituated than any other part of Europe.

MEMOIR TO ILLUSTRATE A NEW MAP OF IRELAND.

I. CONSTRUCTION of the MAP.

1 HE maps of Jeffereys and Bowles place Dublin nearly in the true latitude; but they are very erroneous with refpedt to its longitude. For the late Dr. Usfher found, by the refult of a multitude of obfervations, that the latitude of his obfervatory in Mecklenburg-ftreet, where he then refided, is 53 21' 2", and the longitude 25 minutes of time, or 6° 15' o" weft from Greenwich. Whereas Jeffereys places it in 6° 30' o'' and Bowles in 6° 39' o", the longitude in his map varying from 9 to 1 1 minutes weft of the other. Dr. Longfield afhgns to the city of Cork, the latitude cf

51 ° S3' 54"' anc* tne weftern longitude of 8' 30' o". But Jeffereys' map places it in latitude 51 ° 45' o", which is an 8' error of 54" ; and in longitude 8° 37' 30"; which is only 2° 7' 30" weft of Dublin, as placed by him: whereas the difference between thofe two cities is 7' 30" greater, according to the obfervations ; the meridian of Cork being 2° 15' o" weft of that of Dublin, At 2 CONSTRUCTION of the MAP.

At Cavan, near the town of Lifford, in the county of Done- gal, Mr. Mafon erected a temporary obfervatory, by appoint- ment of the Royal Society, in the year 1769, to obferve the tranfit of Venus; and continued his obfervations there, from April to December. The mean of thefe obfervations, which maybe feen in the Philofophical transactions for 1770, deter- mines the fituation of that fpot, to latitude 54 51' 41", and to

it is placed lat. weit longitude 7 23' o". By the former maps in 54 49' 40", and in long. 7 53' o". But as there can be no doubt of the accuracy of the obfervations which I have now reported; Dublin, Cork, and Cavan, were laid down in my map, as three fixed points, from which the relative fituation of other places, and the form, and extent of the ifland, might be afcertained with more precifion, than had been done

hitherto. There was ftill wanting a pofition in the weft of Ire- land, aftronomically determined : and a pupil of Dr. Usfher under-

took a journey to Galway exprefsly for the purpofe of obtaining it. By repeated folar, and a few lunar obfervations, he afcertained the latitude of Galway, to be 53° i6'o", which Jeffereys' map makes only 53° 10' 30". And though he was prevented by a

feries of fhovvery and clouded nights, which prevailed the whole time he was able to remain there, from making fuch a number of

lunar obfervations, as might fettle the longitude aftronomically : yet as this town lies fo nearly in the fame parallel with Dublin,

whofe longitude is accurately fixed ; and as the meafured dis-

tance is by many geometrical methods carefully afcertained, we cannot err confiderably in the determination of its longitude.

The true pofition of Cavan being eftablifhed, it enabled me to adjuft the diftances and bearings of the county of Donegal from Mr. Macrea's large furvey, and thereby to determine the fituation of Londonderry, as the map of Donegal neceflarily comprehends that city. The CONSTRUCTION of the MAP. 3

The county of Tyrone, which is contiguous to Donegal, and extends eafhvard as far as Lough Neagh, was laid down with the

like precifion from the furvey of the fame artiit. And it is a proof of his accuracy, that I found but a very trifling difference between

the fituation of the village of Cookftown in his map, and its true

place, according to Dr. Hamilton's obfervations : which from his having had for feveral years a fixed obfervatory there, and having very frequently compared the paffages of the moon's limb reduced to the centre, with the actual obfervations of Dr. Mafkelyne, on the fame days, and omitted few opportunities of obferving the eclipfes of Jupiter's firft fatellite, may be efleemed of incontro- vertible authority.

The map of Lough Neagh and the adjacent country, ferved to conned: Tyrone with the counties of Antrim, Down, and Ar- magh, all of which have been furveyed, as was mentioned in the preface. The county of Louth bounds with thofe of Down and Armagh, and a fmall part of the county of Meath intervenes between Louth and Dublin. But here we have the city of Dub- lin for another fixed point, which communicates a great degree of exactnefs to the relative pofltion of the counties of Meath and

Louth, to Kildare, Wicklow, and the Queen's County ; of all which there are modern furveys. Mr. Scale's furvey of the courfe of the river Boyne, was of great ufe in rectifying the topography of the county of Meath. And by comparing his furvey of the river Brofna, and a plan of the northern line, which had been formerly propofed for a canal from the capital to the river Inny, and fo into the Shannon,—with the meafurement of the roads that lead from Dublin to different towns on the Shannon, we fhall go near to determine the diftance of that river from the eaftern coait, or the difference of longitude between Dublin and Athlone, &c. which I apprehend to be fomewhat lefs than is ufually reprefented. By the maps, ° Athlone is weft of Dublin I 42/ o", and the rhomb diftance is 56 2 miles. 4 CONSTRUCTION of the MAP.

miles. But Sir W. Petty makes it only 51 miles : and as the road meafures 59 miles 5 furlongs, and as one mile in eight is the leafr. that can be allowed, on an average, for the windings of roads

between any two places ; the rectilinear diftance cannot be fo

great as 56 miles. In the new map it will be found 52, and the

difference of longitude no more than 1 ° 35' o", which is 7 minutes lefs than in Jeffereys', and in my opinion fo much nearer

the truth. I have found it neceffary likewife, to make an altera-

tion in the latitude of Athlone, by placing it in 53 ° 23' 30". To

this I was partly induced, by an obfervation of the young gentle-

man who took the latitude of Galway for me ; but I fhould not have depended on fo few obfervations as he had time to make in palTing through Athlone, had they not been confirmed by the pofition of Athlone, in the furvey of the Shannon, and by Mr. Pelham's map of the county of Clare, which includes a great part of that river. By that map, the difference of latitude between Galway and Loopbead, at the mouth of the Shannon, is

o° 45' 30" ; and by the furvey of the Shannon, Athlone is about

53' o" north of the fame cape, a difference of 7' 30" : fo, the latitude of Galway being 53 16' o", that of Athlone muff, be

53° 2 3' 3°"» wri i ch i s one minute mure than in the printed maps.

It is evident that thefe authorities muff, equally decide the fitua-

tion of Limerick ; which, with refpect to its bearing from Dublin,

varies but very little in this map from the old ones, the difference of longitude being the fame in both, and the difference of latitude exceeding the old maps only 32". The new map, on the fame authority, reprefents the courfe of the Shannon, as trending much lefs to the fouthward, than in thofe of Jeffereys, &c. the difference of latitude between. Lime- rick and Loophead which they make 13'. 30", being no more

than 9' o". But the true pofition of Cork caufes a great variation in the

1 bearings; CONSTRUCTION or the MAP. 5 bearings of that City and Limerick ; their difference of latitude being only 45' 6", and not 49' 30", as in the old maps. They 8' alfo place Limerick 30" weft of Cork ; though, in my juoV- ment, there can be no more than one minute difference between their meridians. The travelling meafured diftance is 49 miles and a half. But the Rhomb line meafures, on the old maps, 45 miles. On the new map it is but 41 , which will be found neareft to the truth, when it is considered, that the road from Cork to Limerick makes a great deviation from a linear direction by paiTing through Mallow, Buttevant, Charleville, and Kil- mallock.

In confequence of M'Kenzie's obfervations, I have placed Ciipc Clear in latitude 51 ° 19' o", which is 34' 54" fouth of Cork. The old maps aflign only 23' 30" of difference in latitude between them; but they place the Cape 1 ° 2' 30" weft of Cork.

This I conceive to be erroneous, and have therefore followed Sir William Petty 's maps, by which the difference appears to be but 55' o", and agrees better with the meafured roads alono- the more. In tracing the coafts, a particular attention has been paid to M'Kenzie's charts, with refpect to their indentings, fhape, and bearings. But his dimenfions not having been taken by actual meafurement, thofe of Sir William Petty have been moft frequently adopted, where documents of a later date are wanting. For whenever I compared his maps with the modern ones, there appeared fuch a general coincidence of outline and extent, except in a very few inftances, as is furprifing ; when we confider the period at which they were made, and the rapidity of their execu- tion. Sir William Petty's contract with government, is dated December 1 1, 1654, and the work was finiihed in March i6<6. there is fcale But in his maps no of degrees, whence it is to be prefumed, that his furvey was not adjufted by any aftronomical obfervations. And this will account for the difference in the general 6 CONSTRUCTION of the MAP.

general bearing of (he ifland in the new map, from that which it has in the old ones. By the new projection, the northern part of Ireland inclines more to the eaft, and the fouthern extremity more to the weft, than has been heretofore reprefented. For Jeffereys

&c. give but 3 21' 30" of longitude difference between the meridians of Fair-head in the north, and of Mize?i-head in the fouth; while they place them in parallels of latitude 4 2' o" afunder* Whereas the true difference of longitude is greater by 20'. o", and the latitude is 11' 30" lefs. But that this new projection muff, be the true one, is proved by the obfervations at Cavan, in the county of Donegal, and at Cork; the difference of their meridians being 1 ° 7' o" which is 22' 30" more than in any of the old maps.

In conftructing the fouth-eaft coaft, I have alfo deviated confiderably from my predeceffors, having made the difference of

latitude between Wicklow and Hook-tower three minutes lefs,

and between Hook-tower and Cork near Jive minutes lefs than

Jeffereys; which caufes a variation of almoft eight minutes in little

more than a degree. But it has been fhewn, that there is an error of about nine minutes in the old maps, between the parallels of Cork and Dublin. And the point of Hook, thus placed, agrees'with

Petty 's furvey, and with the diftance and bearing from St. David's- head in Wales, as laid down in the nautical charts. The true longitude of Dublin and Cork jmtifies the fame charts, in delineating the eaflern coaft, from Wicklow to Carnfore point, as trending confiderably to the weftward, at leaft eight

minutes of longitude more than what appears by the old maps ; which give only nine inftead of feventeen minutes of longitude difference between thofe two points.

It is unneceffary to dwell longer on the general conftruction of the map. In the different defcription of the feveral counties, the

principal additions, retrenchments, and variations, fliall be noticed in 1

CONSTRUCTION of the MAP. in their refpective places. And the following table of the obfervations, by which I was guided, will exhibit to the reader, at one view, how far the fituation of places in the old maps coin- cides with, or varies from, their true geometrical pofition.

II. OF IRELAND.

THIS ifland, which, next to Britain, is the largeft in Europe, lies at no great diftance from the weftern fhores of England, and ftill nearer to the coafl: of Scotland. It is feparated from its filler ifland by the Irish Sea, which varies in breadth from fourteen to forty leagues; but is contracted between Scotland and the county of Down to a channel only fix leagues wide ; and farther north, to a ftill narrower flrait, of lefs than four, between the N. E. point of the coaft of Antrim and the Mull of Kintyre. This fea conveys into a few tolerable harbours, on the eaftern coaft, the greater part of the fhipping employed in the intercourfe between thefe kingdoms, and alfo a large proportion of thofe veflels which are occupied in foreign commerce.

i The OF IRELAND. 9

The principal ports on the eaftern fide of Ireland are, Dublin, Belfast, Dundalk, Drogheda, and Wexford. On the northern coaft there are fome bays of considerable extent; but,

except Lough Foylc, the bottom of which is the harbour of

Londonderry, they contribute little to the general trade of the kingdom. While the advantage of Situation, and the excellence of the harbours of Cork and Waterford, in the fouth, have long enabled thofe cities to carry on a very considerable and daily-

improving traffic ; augmented by the trade that reforts to the celebrated harbour of Kins ale, and by the fleet of coafters and other fmall craft that crowd the lefs noted ports of Youghal, Dungarvan, &c. But the finefl harbours of Ireland are on the weft and fouth-weft. Thofe indented coafls, which prefent innumerable promontories to the fury of the vaft Atlantic, form in their deep recefles fome of the nobleft havens in the world ; havens fo fecure and capacious, that in feveral of them the whole navy of Great Britain might ride in perfed: Safety. Such are Kenmare River and Bantry Bay, Black-Sod Harbour, and Broadhavcn, &c. ; which, from the unimproved State of the adjacent country, and their distance from the capital, are as yet but of little ufe. The weftern coaft is not however deftitute of commerce. The river Shannon brings Ships of great burthen to the keys of Li- merick, by an intricate navigation of almoft fifty miles from the fea. Much was formerly done at Galway, but the bay of Sligo is now more frequented. There are a few other ports of inferior note, which will be mentioned in their refpe&ive places, as well as the fisheries of Rutland and the Killeries.

Nature has fortified the moft prominent parts of this coaft, the north of Donegal to the from extreme point of Cork ; to ierve as barriers againft the incurfions of the weftern ocean. But neither here, nor in any part of Ireland, are there, as in moft X> 2 other io OF IRELAND. other countries, long ranges of mountain ; if we except one ridge of various heights, and interrupted by the river Blackwater, which extends from near Dungarvan to the county of Kerry. They ftand rather in unconnected groups or mafles, of different magni- tude, which are fo difperfed through the ifland, that there are few parts of it in which the profped: is not fomewhere terminated by this fpecies of majeftic fcenery, forming a back-ground feldom more remote than twenty miles. It cannot however be called a mountainous country : though fome counties are hilly, yet many are tolerably level, and others quite flat. From Dublin to the bay of Galway, a vaft plain ftretches itfelf acrofs the kingdom.

And in this plain lies the Bog of Allen r which was formerly much larger than it is at prefent ; a great portion of it having been reclaimed : but it Hill occupies a confiderable trad: in the county of Kildare, the King's County, and Rofcommon; and branches off into Meath, Weftmeath, and the Queen's County.

This bog, though apparently flat, lies very high, and far above the level of the fea; for the river Boyne, the Little Barrow, and feveral inferior flreams, take their rife in it, and purfue their various courfes towards oppofite points of the compafs.

Ireland is indeed extremely well fupplied with water by clear and lively rivers, and innumerable rivulets, by fome large and even magnificent lakes, and by fmall ones without number. If to this beautiful variety of water, hill, dale, and mountain, a fufficient quantity of wood were united, few countries could boaft, a greater number of interefting views and pi&urefque fcenes.

been, and ftill might be : but as a fpirit of planting is diffufed all

over the kingdom, it may, before very many years elapfe, once more become a wooded country.

The principal river of Ireland is the Shannon, which almoft:

infulates Clare and the province of Connanght ; and, in a courfe of 150 miles, expands into fix different lakes, feveral miles long, and from two to fix broad. Among the other rivers of note, the

fand ; but of the laff. there is not much to be met with, neither is chalk to be found in any part of it. It is in general much more ftony than the foil of England ; and in fome large diftri&s the furface appears more than half covered with rocks. Great part of the kingdom lies upon a ftratum of rock, at various depths, fo that ftone quarries abound almoft every where : and much of this rock being limeftone, it greatly contributes to enrich and improve the land. Marble of great beauty is found in feveral counties. Mines of coal, iron, lead, and copper, are not unfre- quent ; and many of them are worked to great advantage. The bogs, which fupply moft of the inland part of the country with fuel, produce on their furface heath, ruflies, and coarfe grafs, with fome other aquatic plants, and are generally paftura- ble in fummer, efpecially on the fides of hills or mountains : and thofe 12 OF IRELAND. thofe which are in lower fituations become excellent meadows, when thoroughly drained.

However the foil may vary, it is by nature remarkably fertile; and the pafturage is generally thought to be more luxuriant than in

England : but in cultivation and good hufbandry the Irifh are full much behind their neighbours. Encouraged, however, by the exertions of the Dublin Society, by the advantages which an excellent fyftem of corn-laws prefent to him, and by the example of men of fortune, who all keep large demefnes in their own hands, and many of whom pay the greateft attention to agriculture, the poor hufbandman is daily improving both his practice and his circumftances.

The climate is rather more variable, and perhaps milder than that of England : the fummers lefs hot, the winters lefs fe- vere. The air is certainly damper; but this quality is not to be attributed entirely to the bogs which are fcattered all over the kingdom, but chiefly to its infular fituation, and to the great quantity of moift particles that are wafted from the ocean by the weflerly winds, which moll: frequently prevail. This moifture, however, is not prejudicial to health, neither is the neighbourhood of bogs unwholefome. The bog waters, far from emitting putrid exhalations, like ftagnant pools and marflies, are of an an- tifeptic and ftrongly aftringent quality ; as appears from their preferving for ages, and even adding to the durability of the timber, which we find univerfally buried beneath their furfaces ; and from their converting to a fort of leather the Ikins of men and animals, who have had the misfortune of being loft, and of remaining in them, for any length of time. Thus does the vicinity of a bog widely differ from thofe apparently fimilar fituations in other countries, which are rendered confeffedly unhealthy by fens or marines ; but of which there are none in Ireland. Whether OF IRELAND. 13

Whether it be owing to the foil or the climate, certain it is, that in Ireland there are neither moles, nor toads, nor any kind of ferpents ; and it is not more than feventy or eighty years fince

frogs, of which there are now abundance, were firft imported from England. But though the fame experiment has been made

with fnakes and vipers, it has happily been unfuccefsful. Wolves

were extirpated by Oliver Cromwell. But if this ifland be free

from fome noxious, and all venomous creatures, it is, on the other hand, denied one of the fweeteft of the feathered tribe.

The nightingale is not to be found there, and when brought over in a cage, but lingers out a miferable exiftence for a fhort time.

There are alfo fome other birds, and feveral kinds of fifh, which abound in England, but are unknown in Ireland.

In confidering the Extent of this country, I fhall firft obferve, that the greateft difference of latitude between the extreme points

in the north and fouth is 4 4' o" ; the latitude of Cape Clear being 51 ° 19' o"; and that of Mali n Head, in the county

of Donegal, 55 ° 23' o". The extremes of longitude are 19' o" 28' 5 and io° o", which give a difference of 5 9' o" between the moft eafterly part of the county of Down, at Burr Island, and the moft weftern of the Blasket Isles, off Dunmore Head, in Kerry.

The greateft length of Ireland extends from North-eaft to South-weft. And a line fo drawn between the two moft remote points, Fair-head and Mizen-head, would cut the meridian

in an angle of 30 degrees, and meafure 241 Irifti miles, which fomewhat exceed 306 of Englifli ftatute meafure. The longeft line that can be ftretched acrofs the kingdom, would meafure 163 Irifti (or 207 Englifli) miles, from Em lag h-r ash in Mayo, to

Carnsore Point, in the county of Wexford: and this line would interfeci the former in an angle of 75 degrees. But l4 OF IRELAND.

But from the Stags of Cork Harbour to Bloody Far- land Poi nt, in Donegal, is the greateft length that can be meafured along a meridian ; and it will not exceed 185 Irifh, or 235I Englifh miles. If the breadth be meafured in the fame manner, nearly on a parallel of latitude, the true breadth of the iiland will appear to be as follows : Irifh. Eng.

But there is not a fpot in the kingdom fifty miles diftant from the fea ; which will not appear furprifing, when we obferve, that between the bays of Dublin and Galway, there are but 86 miles, and no more than 67 between Dundalk and Ballyfhannon.

With refpect to the fuperficial contents of this kingdom ; not being able to difcover any documents of authority in the public

offices, I have made a computation of it, by very carefully mea-

furing the area of each county on my map : and after rejecting

all fractions, I have no hefitation in afferting, that Ireland con- miles, feveral thou- tains confiderably more than 18 ,7 50fquare or

lar attention to this fubjeft, and who obligingly fupplied me with thofe returns ; that not-

withstanding the fuccefsful exertions of the board, for fome years paft, in improving this branch of the revenue, by the fuppreffion of falfe and incorreft returns, the deficiencies which

In one there are 77, in another but 18 houfes to a mile, as will be found in their refpedtive defcriptions.

It would much exceed the intended limits of this memoir, were

I to examine into the early ftate of Ireland, and to compare the various defcriptions and diflimilar pictures of it, that have been drawn at different periods ; I (hall not therefore enter into a dif- cuffion of its ancient diviiions, of the changes that have taken place in them fince it became fubject to the crown of England, or of the different periods, from Henry II. to Charles I. in which the feveral counties were formed into Jhire ground. Neither (hall I conlider the alterations that have been made in the number, the extent, or the union of billioprics. It will be fufficient for our prefent purpofe, to mark thofe civil and ecclefialtical divifions which have been eftablifhed, without alteration, for above a century and an half. Ireland is divided,—with refpect to its civil or political diftinctions, into four provinces, Ulster, Leinster, Con-

naught, and Munster ; which are fubdivided into thirty-

two counties, and contain 252 baronies, and 2436 parifhes :

and with regard to its church-cftablifhment, into thirty-two diocefes, which are united or confolidated under eighteen bishops and four archbishops.

I mall firft give a topographical fketch of the kingdom, and

then proceed to lay before the reader a fhort account of its eccle- fiaflical flate. The province of Ulster comprifes the nine northern coun-

ties, Leinster the twelve Ealtern, Connaught the five Wcftern,—and Munster thcjtx Southern counties.

which 17, comprehending 23 churches, are in the diocefe of Ar-

magh j and 3 parifhes with 3 churches in the bifhopric of Dro- more.

In this county there is very little flat ground, but the gentle

hills which diversify the face of it are covered with a very rich foil, except in the South and Weft parts of Fews barony, which are full of mountains; and in the South of Orior, which is occupied by the lofty Sliebhgullen. But great part even of this rough ground is cultivated, and thickly inhabited ; Armagh being the

molt -f populous county in Ireland. It contains ^ 21983 houfes, in which there cannot be fewer

than 120000 inhabitants. This population is at the || rate of 8 acres and one fifth to each houfe, or of nearly 78 houfes, and 429 fouls to every fquare mile, which is fomething lefs than one acre and a half per head.

It is to the great induftry of the people, and to the flourifh-

ing ftate of the linen manufacture which they carry on in all its

branches, that this extraordinary population is to be attributed. There are feveral good market-towns, and a great number of villages in this county, the principal are Armagh, Lurgan, Blackwater-town, and Portadown. The city of Armagh, which was very much decayed, has been

COUNTY of DOWN.

THIS county lies on the Eaft of Armagh, is almoft as thickly inhabited., and nearly double its fize. The so COUNTY of DOWN.

The length of Down, from North to South is 40 miles; the breadth from Eaft to Weft 31, and the area of the county 348550 * acres, or 544 fquare miles. It contains eight baronies, and the lordfhip of Newry; viz. Upper and Lower Iveagh, Kinelearty, Castlereagh, Dufferin, Ardes, Lecale, and Mournej in which are

60 -j~ parilhes j 38 of them, with 33 churches, in the diocefe of Dow/2; and 22 with their 22 churches under the bifhop of Dro- more.

This county is every where irregular in its furface, and about the centre, fwells into a mountainous tracl called Slicbh-Croob.

The barony of 'Mourne is almoft covered with a large mafs of very high mountains ; one of which, Sliebh-Donard%, is faid to be

3150 feet high, above the level of the fea ; but I doubt that it has ever been accurately meafured, and am inclined to think it cannot fo much exceed the known height of Nepbin and Crow-Patrick in the Weft, and of Mangerton inthe South of Ireland. If we confider how large a fpace of this county is covered by thefe very rude mountains, the population of Down will appear very con- liderablc, for it contains 36636 houfes, in which muft dwell at

great number of horfes, with which the fairs of diflant counties are fupplied.

This county derives equal advantages from its maritime fitua-

tion and its inland waters. Gn the North it joins the town and har-

bour of Belfaft, and at Donaghadee, packets are eftablifhed for the conveyance of mails and paflengers to Portpatrick in Scotland. The ports of Strangford and Killyleagh, upon the Strang- ford Lough, the bays of Killogh and Dundrum admit veffels of fmall fize. And by means of the bay of Carlingford, and a large canal from thence, the town of Newry carries on a very extenfive trade. A canal is continued from Newry to the * South Bann, and fo into Lough Neagh. From this lake to Belfaft, another canal has been lately cut at the expence of the Marquis of Belfaft

and the river Lagan, which feparates Down from Antrim, is alfo made navigable..

Downp atrick, the fhire town, is not fmall, but \ Newry is very large and commercial, and contains more than 10,000 inhabitants. To thefe muft be added Hillsborough, where the Marquis of Dow nfhire has erected a mofl beautiful church; Dromore the refidence of its bifhop, and fevcral other market-towns and good villages.

"THIS alfo is a maritime county, fituated on the North of Down, extending from North to South 44 miles, and from Eaft to Well: 24; and containing 387200 acres, which make about 605 fquare miles *.

It comprizes the eight baronies of Massareen, Antrim, Toome, Kilconway, Dunluce, Cary, Glenarm, and Belfast, exclufive of the county of the town of Carrick- FERGUS. Of 77 t parifhes and 44 churches in this county, one parifh, with its church, is in the bifhopric of Dromore, the remainder are in the diocefe of Connor. Though the county of Antrim exceeds that of Down in extent

by near 30000 acres, yet it falls fhort of it in the number of inhabitants, upwards of 41000. For it contains only 29122 houfes, in which we cannot fuppofe many more than 160000 fouls. This would give, on an average, 13.3 acres to a houfe, or fomething more than 48 houfes, with their 260 inhabitants to a fquare mile. But as there can be but a fcanty population in the mountainous and boggy country along the Eaftern coaft, which, with a large tract of very rough and high hills on the Weft of Belfaft, occupies near a third of the county; the richer and more

Antrim is watered by many fmall rivers, and abundance of brooks and rivulets ; but the broad and rapid Ban;}, by which all the waters of Lough Ncagh are discharged into the fea, parts it from Londonderry. The principal towns are Belfast, Carrickfergus, An- trim, Lisburn, Ballymena and Ballymoney. Of thefe the two firft are fea ports, and both fituated on the Bay of Carrick- fergus, or as it is now called, the Lough of Belfaji. By an accurate enumeration made in 1791, Belfaft contained 3107 houfes and 18320 fouls. It is with regard to fize the fifth, and with refpccT: to commerce the fourth, if not the third town in the kingdom. There are upwards of feven hundred looms in it, employed on cotton, cambrick, fail-cloth, and linen. Thefe manufactories, with others of glafs, fugar, and earthen- ware, the exports of linen and provifions, and a confiderable trade with the Weft. Indies, have rapidly increafed its importance.

Lisburn is large and handfome, equally noted for the neat- nefs of its buildings, and the urbanity of its inhabitants. At Carrickfergus, the aflizes are held both for the county at large, and for the diftricl: of the town, which has the privilege of a dijlintl county. It was once the firft fea-port in the north of

Ireland, and defended by a ftrong caftle. But the port is little frequented and the caftle no longer garrifoned.

LONDONDERRY.

This county, the greater part of which was given by James I. to an incorporated company of London merchants, lies on the well: of Antrim, and extends 32 miles from North to South, and about the fame from Eaft to Weft, meafuring in area 318,500 acres, and 479 fquare miles*. It comprifes the Liberties of the city of Londonderry, and of the town of Coleraine, with the four baronies of Tyre- kerin, Kenoght, Coleraine, and Loughinsholi n.

In thefe there are thirty-one -f parishes ; five of which, with fix churches, appertain to the diocefe of Armagh, and the remainder, with twenty-three churches, to that of Derry. The

number of houfes in this county is 2500*7, which amounts on an average to 12.7 acres to a houfe, or 50.3 houfes to a fquare

mile ; and may contain % 1 25000 people. The linen manufacture profpers through every part of this

county, which is not much incumbered with mountains. Bencvenagh in the north, SlicbhgaJlan in the fouth, and Cairn- togher, which extends into Tyrone, are all that claim our notice.

In the laft-mentioned mountain all the rivers of this county have their fource ; except the Bann, which has been already mentioned, and the Boyle which paries through the liberties of Lon- donderry, and wafhes the walls of the city.

Four miles below Londonderry the river expands into Lough Foyle, a great bay 12 miles long and 7 broad, and land locked on all fides, the entrance not being above half a mile wide, but having only one deep channel in the middle, between fands and fhallows.

Londonderry is a handfome town, containing about 10,000 inhabitants *, whofe principal commerce is with America and the

Weft. Indies. It is ftill furrounded with walls, and is the county town. Next to this city, in point of note, is Coleraine upon the Bann, about two miles above the mouth of that river.

to the medium of the whole province ; for it contains 28,704 houfes, which would amount on an average to 39.64 in every

fquare mile, and 16.1 acres to each houfe -j~.

The foil of this county varies exceedingly. Almoft the whole

barony of Dungannon is rich and fruitful. It abounds with. fmall towns and villages: Dungannon, Stewartstown, COAGH, DONAGHY, CoOKSTOWN, PoMEROY, CALEDON, Orritor, Aghnecloy, Benburb, Moy, and many others; in which linen weaving and bleaching are connected with fmall tillage farms. Near Dungannon there are good collieries, and a canal from the little village of Coal Island to the Black-water, opens a communication with Lough Neagh and the furrounding country.

The barony of Strabane is very rough; the mountains of

Munterlony and Cairntogher covering a great part of it. Bejfy Bell and Mary Gray are alfo remarkably high. But in all parts

of this country cultivation is creeping, and that not flowly, up the fides of all the hills and mountains that are capable of improvement. In this tract are the villages of Newtown-Stew- art, Ardstraw, Gortin, Douglas, and the town of Strabane, finely fituated for trade on the river Mourne, which prefently uniting with the river Finn, affumes the name of Foy/e, and becomes navigable to Londonderry.

The greateft part of the barony of Omagh is very poor and mountainous; and the town of Omagh, though the aflize

town, is inferior to many others in the county.

In the barony of Clogher there is more good land : but Clogher, Fintona, and Augher, are very fmall places,

notwithftanding the laft is a borough, and the firit a city, fince

it is the fee of a bifhop, and fends members to parliament.

The Blackwater rifes in the fouth of this county ; but the fine

and rapid rivers which water the heart of it, the Cameron, the Po, the Moyle, and many others, all fall into the Mourne. The towns of Strabane and Dungannon, the borough of Augher, and the city of Clogher, with the county, return ten members to parliament.

Observations on the Old Maps.

The county is reprefented a mile too large in every dimenfion

and the following villages are omitted : Donymanagh, Douglas, Magheracrigan, Gortin, Drumquin, Bellnahatty, Neietown-Saville, Coagh, Orritor, Brockagh, Moy, Egli/h, Dian, and Coal IJland.

LOUGH NEAGH.

This great body of water, which wafhes the fhores of the five counties that have been defcribed, muft not be omitted. It is fifteen COUNTY of DONEGAL. 29 fifteen miles long, Jeven broad, and covers 58200 acres. The old maps, which make it larger, are as incorrect in the fize as the fhape of the lake, according to Mr. Lendrick's Survey.

The river Bann is the only outlet for feven rivers and innumerable ftreams, that pour their tributary waters into this great inland fea; which, though by far the largefl, is by no means the mod beautiful of the Irilh lakes. The fhores are moftly formed either by an inanimate ftrand, or marfhy borders liable to frequent floods; and are of courfe deficient in thofe varied banks and bold promontories, without which fuch extenfive fheets of water cannot have a picturefque effect, unlefs when the uniformity is broken by frequent iflands of different fize and character: —but there are only two in this lake ; a very the the fmall one near mouth of Blackwater, and Ram IJla?idy within a fhort diftance of the Antrim fhore, remarkable only for an ancient round tower. The views are more pleafing in Lough Beg, a fmall lake, into which thefe waters again expand,' after a courfe of about a mile through a very contracted channel. The form of Lough Beg, its iflands, fome wooded points of land, with intervening lawns and rocks, the magnificent rotunda at Ballyfcullen, and the beautiful lightnefs of Toome-bridge, produce the mofl happy effect. It would be unpardonable to omit, that Lough Neagh has been long celebrated for a petrifying quality, which the water, or rather (it is faid) the foil, pofTeffes on fome parts of the Antrim fhore.

This county, the largefl in Ulfler, extends on the weft of Tyrone and Londonderry 57 miles from north to fouth, and

40 from eaft to weft. It contains 679550 acres, or 1061 fquarc miles*, and is divided into five baronies Inishowen, Kilma- crenan, Raphoe, Boylagh and Bannogh, and Tyrhugh.

The number of parifb.es -j- in this county is forty-two ; thirty of which, with thirty-two churches, are in the diocefe of Raphoe eleven parifhes and thirteen churches in that of Derry ; and one parifli, with its church, in the bifhopric of Clogher. It contains only 33,521 houfes, in which we cannot eftimate J more than

1 40,000 inhabitants ; a population which is inferior to that of twenty-nine counties of the thirty-two. For it averages but one houfe to 28.8 acres, or 22.17 houfes in a fquare mile.

But it muff be considered, that Donegal is a very rugged country, in many places rendered lefs habitable by bogs, and almoil every where rough with mountains. It is not however deftitute of good land in the vales between thefc rocky maifes, and along the banks of many rivers. The chief of thefe are, the Finn, which, rifing in a lake, croffes the county from well: to eaftj the Dale, navigable by boats for a few miles, from the river Foyle to the village of Ballindrait; the Erne, which runs from Lough Erne, and

falls into the fea below Ballifhannon ; and the Guibarra, a river

of extraordinary breadth and depth for the fhortnefs of its

courfe, which extends fcarce twenty miles from its fource to the

fea.

This county is rich in harbours hough Foyle has been already

noticed. Lough Swilly is a prodigious fine harbour, twenty miles long, from two to four broad, and deep enough for the largefr.

and Sheep Haven, in Kilmacrenan ; the Guidore, the Guibara Donegal Bay, with Kil/ibegs Harbour and many other fmall ones branching off from it: and the road or harbour at the Rojfes are all excellent and fafe retreats for veffels.

To this county belong Tory I/land, about fix miles from the north-weft point of it, and Arranmore, with a clufter of fmaller iflands, near the coall of that part of Boylagh and Bannagh, which is called the Rojfes. In one of thefe iflands, named Rut- land, in compliment to the late duke of Rutland, a fmall town has been lately built by the public-fpirited exertions of the Rt. Hon. Mr. Conyngham, for the purpofe of promoting the herring fifhery ; to which this fituation feemed peculiarly adapted.

Of the many lakes in this county I fhall only mention Lough

Derg, which is fituated in the midft of mountains, in the barony of Tyrhugh, and has been for ages celebrated, on account of a fmall ifland containing a cell called Saint Patrick's Purgatory; to which the fuperftitious devotion of the times drew many a pilgrim in former ages.

The principal town in Donegal is Ballyshannon, which has the advantage of a falmon fifhery in the river Erne. Lif- ford the county town, is fcarce a mile from Strabanc, and but very fmall. Letterkenny is happily fituated at the bottom of"Lough Stilly, but derives no great advantage from that circum- flance. Donegal is of little note, notwithftanding the fine bay on which it ftands. Raphoe is the fee and refidence of a bifhop, but otherwife very infignificant. The town of Killybegs, and a good many tolerable villages, might be added to this lift ; and it muft not be overlooked, that in this county alfo, the linen manufacture is vigoroufly attended to.

The coaft is in many places erroneoufly delineated, particularly in Inifhowen. That barony is reprefented as a flat country, and cut in two by a river from hough Foyle to Strabragy Bay.

Malin Head is omitted. Mulroy Bay, and the adjacent country, are quite mifreprefented, and fo are the Gmbara and Guidore rivers. Tory Iiland is removed at too great a diftance from the coaft : the ifle of Arran is flill more mifplaced, and the fmaller iflands which accompany it, and form the harbour of the Rofles, are omitted. Neither do they exprefs the villages of Carrigart, Churchhill, Carrigans, Pluck, Killygordon, Came, Carrickmaquigly, Ardra, Kihnacreda, Duncanely, &c. Rutland they could not have marked. Of many mifnomers I fhall only mention that Horn-* head is written Horehead, and Rackibirn Iiland called Raghlin. The old maps add alfo a mile more to the breadth of the county than the furvey allows of.

FERMANAGH.

The greateft length of Fermanagh, which adjoins to the South

of Donegal, is 34 miles, and the greater!: breadth 26 ; the area is 283,400 acres, or 448 fquare miles: but if we make allowance for the fpace that is covered by the waters of Lough Erne, which

is at lean: 47,400 acres, we mufl reckon only 236,000 acres of the habitable ground, or perhaps 238,000, by taking the iflands of the lake into the number *.

This great lake completely fevers in two the county. Of its eight baronies, Lurge, Tyreskennedy, Magheraste- phana, Clonkelly, and Coole, are on the eaft, and Magheraboy, Clonawly, and Knockninny, on the weft of Lough Erne. * Thefe are divided into no more than eighteen parifhes : 15 of which, containing 23 churches, are in the diocefe of Clogher-, and three parifb.es, with as many churches, are under the fee of Kihnore.

This county is but thinly peopled ; the number of houfes in it being only 11,969, which, excluding Lough Erne, is at the rate of 19.9 acres to a houfe, or 32.43 houfes in a fquare mile. to the of fouls at I am however inclined eftimate number -f- 71,800.

The furface of Fermanagh is very uneven ; the borders of Tyrone and of Cavan, on the weft of the lake, and efpecially of Leitrim, are extremely mountainous, and the whole county full of hills; many of them high, rough, and boggy: but even in this rude ftate, thefe hills and mountains afford a coarfe pafture to large herds of young cattle ; and that moft of them are capable of great improvement, and of being brought into tillage by proper management is proved, by the fuccefs which has already attended the exertions of induftry. Lough Erne confifts properly of two lakes, connected by a broad winding channel of about fix miles. The upper lake is nine miles long, and from one and a half to five wide; the lower lake extends in length about ten miles, and increafes in breadth from

Both thefe lakes are full of iflands *, fome of which are large and inhabited, many of them well wooded, and the whole fo difpofed, and accompanied by fuch a diverfity of coaft, as to form a vaft number of rich and interefting profpects. This lough receives the Erne and feveral other rivers, and difcharges itfelf at the north-weft end by a rapid current of about feven miles which, after falling over many ledges of obftructing rocks, pre- cipitates its waters down a grand cataract into the fea at Balli- fliannon.

There are two other lakes of considerable length which lie between Fermanagh and Lei/rim ; Lough Mclvin and Lough Mac- nean.

Enniskillen is the only town of note in Fermanagh ; it is built in an iiland, formed by the river which unites the two lakes, and is the fingle pafs of communication between the parts of the county which thefe waters feparate. It has a fcliool of

royal foundation ; the endowment of which is, by the great rife and improvement of lands in this county, become very confide* rable. There are befides a few, and but a few, fmali market towns and good villages: Kesh, Lisnaskea, Maguires- Bridge, Newtown-Butler, &c. intheeaft; Belleek and Garrison, &c. in the weftern divifion. On Lord Ennifkillen's

eftate, weft of Lough Erne, there are quarries of a grey or brown and white marble, beautifully veined, and of a very fine grain The linen manufacture, and the rearing of black cattle, are the principal fources of wealth to the inhabitants of Fermanagh.

CAVAN.

SOUTH of Fermanagh lies Cavan. Its length from E. to W. is 40 miles, and the breadth from N. to S. 22. It contains 301,000 acres, and 470 fquare miles *, and is divided into feven baronies, Tullaghagh, Loughtee, Tullac- HARVEY, CLONCHEE, C ASTLER AGH AN, ClONMOGHAN,

Tullaghonoho ; and into 30 parifhes -f, one of which, and one church, are in the diocefe of Meath, 3 parifhes and 3 churches in the bifhoprick of Ardagb, and the remaining 26 with 24 churches in Kilmorc.

The number of houfes in this county is 16,314, which may contain 81,570 perfons, and the proportion of population to extent, is 18.4 acres to a hcufe, or 34.71 houfes to a fquare mile.

The foil is chiefly a ftiff, wet clay, which produces naturally a

coarfe rufliy pafture ; but in lbme places it has been much a-

mended by cultivation. The furface of the county is fo remark-

ably uneven, that a level fpot is rare to be met with : a great part

of it is open, bleak, and dreary ; but from Cavan to Lough Erne is extremely well wooded and picturefque. Though many of thefe hills are high and barren, yet none merit the appellation of

and fome of larger Cze ; as Lough Ramor, Lough Sheelin, and Lough Gawnah, on the borders of Meatb, Wejlmeath and hong- ford: but the mod remarkable is Lough Ought er, not far from the town of Cavan, The irregularity of its form, the large

water flows the river Erne, which rifes on the borders of Long-

ford and Leitrim, and on its way to the Lough receives many fmaller rivers.

Cavan the county-town is neither large nor commercial, but Cootehill has the advantage of a well frequented linen market, in which great fums of money are weekly circulated. Beltur-

The foil of this county is in many places moiir, but in general deep and fertile. It is not lefs hilly, but much more diverfified and fheltered by trees than the neighbouring county of Cavan.

Neither is it deficient in lakes and rivers. Amongit the lakes thofe of Kile-row near Cootehiil, and of Barrac at Caftleblayney, deferve notice for their extent and beauty. Of the rivers none are confiderable, but many very pleafant. The mountains of Slicbh-Baught extend from Tyrone a good way into the barony of Trough.

There are fome poor hills in the neighbourhood of Collon, and a tract of high mountain between Dundalk and Carlingford but, thefe rough grounds excepted, the foil of this county is rich and fertile, and chiefly employed in tillage.

Four fmall rivers oofs the county of Louth from weft to eaft, and the Boyne forms its fouthern boundary.

The bay of Carlingford is a fine haven, with twenty fa- thom water, but of more advantage to Newry than to the town whofe name it bears ; which has dwindled into great infignifi- cance, and is remarkable only for the excellence of its oyflcrs. Dundalk, on the contrary, without the advantage of fo good a harbour, has much trade, and is in a very improving ftate.

incumbered with very little wafte land ; though there are fome coarfe hills about the middle of Slane barony, and in the northern part of Kells and Half Fowre. The bogs are neither

numerous nor extenfive in this county ; and wherever this is

the cafe in Ireland, the inhabitants fuffer from the fcarcity of turf or peat, an article fo eflential to their comfort and to the profperity of their manufactures, in a country where timber is very fcarce, and fo few coal mines have as yet been difcovered.

The county town is Trim, a very ancient place on the Boyne, but without manufactures or commerce.. Navan, on the

fame river, beautifully fituated but very ill-built, is an opulent town, and contains about 4000 inhabitants, moll of them in- duitrioufly occupied in different branches of trade. The commercial interefts of this county, and efpecially of this part of

it, will be much improved, when the Boyne is made completely navigable from Drogheda to Navan (a work which proceeds with great vigour), and when the projected canals from thence to Kells, and to Tmvopen a new and eafy communication with the

fea.

Kells is a good thriving town on the Blackwater Athboy

This county, indeed, is not to be claffed among the m oft fruitful, or the belt cultivated ; and towards the borders of Wieklow it affumes the mountainous and rocky character of that county.

The remainder is fiat and unintereftmg, except in the neighbourhood of the fea coaft, which being broken into bays and creeks, affords many piclurefque and pleafi-ng profpedls.

It is impoffible to give even an adequate fketch of the city of

Dublin in this ihort trad: : but it would be unpardonable to omit fome of its principal features. It extends above two miles in every direction, and is rapidly increafing in fize, opulence and beauty. The river Liffey, which paffes through its centre, is croffed by five bridges, and a fixth of great elegance is nearly finifhed. The harbour is defended from the inclemency of the winds and waves by a ftrong wall or mole, now almoft completed, extending nearly four miles in length, and terminating with a light-houfe, which is erected about a mile from the eaftern and adjacent to the fouthern Bar. Correfponding to this handfome and ufeful pharos, there ftands on the promontory of Hoath, which forms the north fide of the bay, another very complete light-houfe.

the collegiate (Thrift's church.

Of the many public edifices that adorn it; the moft remarkable are, —the Cajlle, which ftands nearly in the middle of the town,

and is the refidence of the viceroy, the Parliament-houfe , the

Univerfitys, the Royal Exchange, and the Cuflom-houfe ; all buildings of great magnificence. The courts of juftice are almoft finifhed in the fame ftyle^—The Linen Hall, the Barracks, Hofpi- tals for invalids'—for the children of failors and of foldiers—for the education of youth, and for the reception of the aged and in- firm of various defcriptions— are too numerous to mention feparately. The Royal Irish Academy was inftituted in 1786— The Dublin Society, for the improvement of agriculture and ufeful arts, which was incorporated fo early as in 1749, has truly anfvvered the end of its inftitution, by promoting objects of the utmoft importance to Ireland.

Two canals are begun on the oppofite fides of the river, with which they are immediately, to communicate. The fouthern navigation extends upwards of 40 miles, to the river Barrow, which

is navigable; and a branch of this canal is carrying on in a weftern direction towards the Shannon. The northern canal has alfo for its object, to communicate with that great river in the county of Longford, and, by a collateral cut to unite with the Boyne navigation.

To the weft end of the town adjoins the Phoenix Park, a royal demefne of great beauty, which extends above two miles in length, and a mile and a half in breadth, on the N. fide of the Liffey. The corporation of this city confifts of a Lord Mayor, 24 alder- — —

It is almoft. needlefs to fay, that mofl branches of commerce and every kind of trade are exercifed in Dublin, and that the city is daily advancing in wealth and induftry. Within a few miles of the metropolis are many pleafant villages Clontarf, Glasnevin, Finglass, Chapelizod, Leixlip, Luc an, whofe fulphureous waters occafion a great refort of company in the fummer months. Rathfarnham, Miltown, Ringsend, the Black Rock, Dunleary, and many others. The two lait named, and Clontarf, are crowded in the feafon for fea-bathing, and are furrounded with numerous villas of the nobility and citizens, whom the beauties of Dublin Bay attract towards the coaft. There are alfo in this county the fmall towns or villages of Tallagh, Newcastle, Swords, Lusic, Balruddery, Rush, Skerries and Balbriggen.

Rujh is a large village on the coaft, from whence and from

Skerries, whofe fmall harbour is rendered fafe by a pier, Dub- lin is principally fupplied with filh. Balbriggen has alfo a fmall fafe harbour, and a flourifhing cotton manufactory. The county, the city, and the univcrfity of Dublin, with the boroughs of Newcajlle and Swords, return ten members to parliament.

WICKLOW.

THE extent of this county, which lies immediately South * of Dublin, is from N. to S. 32 miles, from E. to W. 26 ; and the fuperficial contents are 311 ,600 acres, or 486 fquare miles. It is divided into Jix baronies, //^Rathdown, Newcas- tle, Arklow, Ballinacorr, Talbotstown, and Shil- contain 58 parifhes, lelagh; which -f- and 20 churches. —Of thefe, parifhes churches are in 49 and 1 7 the archbifhoprick of Dublin,—6 parifhes and 3 churches in the diocefe of Leighlin— and 3 parifhes with one church in that of Ferns. The number of houfes in this county is 1 1,546, the inhabitants may therefore be computed at about 58,000 ; a very fcanty population for fo large an extent, as it amounts only to 23.75 in a fquare mile, and 26.9 acres to each houfe, on an average. But a great part of Wicklow is rendered unfit for habitation and incapable of culture, by mountains intermixed with rock and bogs. However, though the heart of the county be a cheerlefs wafte, the hills on the Eaft and Weft fides of it, and efpecially along the coafl, from 6 to 8 miles in breadth, being manv of them well wooded and intermixed with profitable and fmiling vallies, form a delightful and various fcenery. They are crowded with gentlemen's feats, and are not without fmall towns and villages. The mountains of Kippure, near the county of Dublin, are the higheft, and very abrupt on the North fide. Keyden on the border of Carlow, and Sugar Loaf Hill near Delgany, are alfo remarkable for height, and the latter for its conical form.

I In 4 8 COUNTY op WICKLOW.

In the mountainous part of this county many rivers have their fources,— the Liffey with her tributary ftreams takes a circular courfe through the county of Kildare, and falls into the bay of Dublin. The Slaney runs Southward, and after crofting a part of

Carlow is received into the fea at Wexford. The Fartrcy difembogues itfelf at Wicklow, and the Ovoca at Arklow. There are no large towns in this county. Wicklow, the county town, is pleafantly fituated on a fmall harbour, and near a beautiful ftrand abounding in fine pebbles, which is called the Murrough.—The ale of Wicklow has been long celebrated in Dublin. Bray is reforted to by fea bathers in the fummer, and like Arklow has a haven for fmall craft. On the Eaftem fide of the county are Blessington, Dunlavin, Balting- las and Clonegall. In the neighbourhood of thefe Towns, of Rathdrum which is nearer the coaft:, and of Carnew in the South, fome linen and much coarfe wollens are manufactured. Not far from Rathdrum, at Cronebane, and alfo in the parifh of Kilcq/hel, are extenfive copper mines. At Cronebane immenfe quantities of copper are made, by fteeping bar-iron in the mine- ral water, whioh entirely corrodes the original metal and fubftitutes the particles of copper in its place. In the barony of Shillelah ftand the poor remains of a forefl", once the moft: celebrated in Ireland for the excellence of its oak; which was exported to Britain and different parts of Europe, and is ftill fhewn in the roof of Weftminfter-hall, and of fome antient buildings on the continent, even at this day.

THE county is drawn too fliort from North to South by two miles. The courfes of rivers are in many places erroneous, the

Liffcy and Bray-water are made to unite, and fo are the rivers that fall into the fea at Wicklow and Kilcool. The boundary between the baronies of Newcaftle and Ballinacor, is improperly placed.

and of inhabitants about 1 15,000 *, which is at the rate of 16.2 acres to a houfe, and 39.32 houfes in a fquare mile. This county cannot be called hilly or mountainous, except on

the frontiers of Carlovv and Wicklow. Yet it contains a great deal of coarfe cold land, and ftifF clay foil, which the want of

limeftone renders it difficult and expenfive to improve. But the

baronies of Bargie and Forth, being of a lighter foil, are extremely

well tilled, and produce large quantities of barley. The river Barrow feparates Kilkenny from this county, and the

S/ancy, which croffes it from Newtown Barry to Wexford, affords

a perpetual variety of picturefque and romantic views among its wooded and winding banks. hough Ta, in the barony of

P'orth, receives into its bofom two or three fmart rivulets, but having no outlet, the waters accumulate and gradually

overflow the adjacent grounds ; till the peafantry, once in three

and fome trade ; the Slaney on which it is fituated being fo

WEST of the county of Wexford lies that of Kilkenny, wliofe extent from N. to S. is 35 * miles, and from E. to W. 19. Its area meafures 300,350 acres, or 469 fquare miles. It contains nine baronies, exclufive of the county of the city of Kilkenny, and the liberties of the town of C Al-

len ,- viz. Fassachdining, Gallmoy, Crannagh, Gow- ran, Shellilogher, Kells, Knoctopher, Iverk, and

churches, are in the diocefe of Ojfory ; fix parifhes, with two churches, in that of Leighlin, and a very fmall part of one parifh in the archbifhopric of CaJJjel.

The number of houfes is 17,569, which probably contain about 95 \ or 100,000 inhabitants. The houfes are much fewer than what might be expected in a county which has been

generally efieemed one of the mod: populous in Ireland ; for there are, on an average, only 37.46 in a fquare mile, or one houfe to every 17 acres. This is below the medium of the provinces of hevifier or Uljlcr, but it fomewhat exceeds the average of the

It is in general level, except in the barony of Ida, Igrin, and

Ibercon, which is covered with rough hills from the neighbourhood of the Suir, till they terminate in Brandon Hill, a mountain in the barony of Gowran. No country can be better watered —The river Barrow forms its eaftern boundary the Suir parts it from Waterford,—and both thefe rivers are navigable ; as is alfo the Nore fo high as Bennetts Bridge. This river croffes the county from north to fouth, and receives in its courfe the Dinin, the river of Callcn, and many other plentiful fixeams. There are but a few towns of any note in this county, many boroughs, which were once confiderable, having dwindled into infignificant villages. Castle Durrow is a pretty little town, which lies in the midft of 2 or 3000 acres, that are infulated in the Queen's County. Castlecomer is but fmall, notwithstanding the vicinity of extenfive coal-mines, which not only fupply the furrounding country with fuel, but are conveyed in great quantities to very diftant parts of the kingdom, though by land carriage, being a hard (tone coal, particularly ufeful for fmiths' work. Callen is no longer of note, but its liberties, which extend near two miles round it, fhew that it was once confiderable. Of Gowran, Knocktopher, Thomastown, Ur- lingford, Freshford, Newmarket, &c. there is little to be faid. At Ballyspellin, in Gallmoy, there is a chalibcate water, which would be more frequented, if there were better accommodation for Grangers. The city of Kilkenny, and the borough of St. Canice, or Irishtown, form but one large town, which ftands in the midft of the county of the city of Kil- kenny. It is delightfully fituated on the river Nore, over which are two handfome bridges. —Of the many large and good buildings that adorn this city, I fhall only mention the bifhop's palace, —

inland country town ; and has been long noted for the politenefs

of its inhabitants. In this city and its environs abundance of blankets and much coarfe woollen cloth are manufactured. In the hilly parts of the county there are great dairy farms, particularly in the neighbourhood of Waterford, from whence large quantities of butter are exported.

The Baronies are, Ravilly, Catherlogh, Idrone, Forth, and St. Mul- LINS. The population of this county comes neareft to the average of the whole province; for it contains 8,763 houfes, and about inhabitants, which will at 44,000 J' give, a medium, 40.94 houfes to every fquare mile, and 15.6 acres to every houfe.

The river Barrow, which is navigable, runs through it from N. to S. —the Slaney croiTes it alfo, in its courfe from Wicklow to Wexford.

That part of Carlo w which lies on the weft of the Barrow is covered with rough and high hills. Another mountainous tract continues all along the bounds of Wexford, beginning at the north, with the high and rocky Mount Lcinflcr, and terminating in that which is called Black/lairs, in the fouth.

But it mult be obferved, that large tracls of it are covered by the Bog of Allen, that upwards of 3000 -acres are occupied by the

This county is full of fprings and rivulets—The river Barrow forms its fouth-weft boundary, and receives the Grees— The Liffcy takes a circular courfe through the norfh-eaft of the county, and the river Boyne rifes in the Bog of Allen.

The Barrow is navigable from Athy, where it meets the

Grand Canal, which, from Dublin, pafTes through this county, crolTing the Liffcy on an aqueduct bridge ; and foon after branches off near Claine, in a collateral cut, to the Shannon.

This county is more populous than any of the preceding five for it contains 15,048 houfes, which on an average would give 41 houfes to a fquare mile, and 15.6 acres to a houfe.

KING'S COUNTY.

THIS County bounds the Queen's County on the north and weft. Its length from N.toS.is 34 miles; and the breadth from E. to W. which, in the northern and broadeft part, is 32, diminifhes gradually to a very narrow compafs as it ftretches to the Southward. The King's County contains 282,200 acres, which make upwards of 440 fquare miles*; and is divided into eleven baronies, viz. Warrenstown, Coolestown, Philipstown, Bal- LYCOWEN, KlLCOURSEY, GaRRYCASTLE, GeSHIL, BaLLI- boy, Eglish or Fircal, Ballybritt and Clonlisk. In thefe there are 16 parifhes and 10 churches, under the fee of Meath; 16 parifhes, with 6 churches, under that of Killaloe

18 parifhes and 8 churches in the diocefe of Kildare ; one parifh in Clonfert, and one infulated parifh, with its church, dependant upon the fee of OJfory ; in all 52-f parifhes and 25 churches.

The number of houfes in this county amounts to 13,536, which will give 30.76 houfes to a fquare mile, and 20.8 acres to a houfe on an average ; and may contain about 74,500 inhabitants t.

The Shannon forms the weflern boundary of the County for many 'miles, and the little Brofna, which falls into that great river, divides it from Tipperary ; while the larger Brofna, after winding through a great part of it, between pleafant banks, lofes itfelf alfo in the Shannon. The Boyne and the leffer Barrotv water the fkirts of it. There are, befides, feveral fmall rivers and fome lakes, of which Lough Pallis and Lough Annagh are the largeft ; and the Grand Canal croffes the Northern part of the county. Of the towns in the King's County, Birr is the moft. confiderable. It was formerly called Patfonflown, and has very lately re- fumed that name, by acft of parliament. AtBANAGHER there is an excellent endowment for a fchool, and a very ancient bridge over the Shannon. Six miles higher up, at the village of Raghera, a very noble one has been eredted within a few years. Tulla- more, on the river Clodagh, is a pretty little town, in which, as well as in Birr, there are many gentlemens houfes, and fome manufactures, which the advantages of the Grand Canal will probably improve. In the neighbourhood of Clara, which is fltuated on the Brofna, much linen is made. At Philipstown

the afTizes are held, but it is a very indifferent place. Frank- ford and Ballyboy on the Silver river, Ferbane upon the Brofna, Ballycowen and Cloghan, Killeigh and Geshil

64 COUNTY" or WESTMEATII.

No part of this county is embarraffed with mountains, but a great number of acres are rendered unproductive by large lakes and extenfive begs ; yet the convenience of fuel, the abundance of gravelly hills, and the variety of profpects which arife from thefe beautiful lakes, and the undulating form of the furface, render it a very pleafant and healthful country. The foil is in general light, but in fome places deep and rich; and though there is more of it kept under grafs than employed in tillage, yet the plough is by no means neglected ; for, after fupplying the home confumption, the farmers of this county largely contribute to the exportation of oats from Drogheda.

No county can be better watered. The Shannon divides it from Connaught : the river Tnny forms the greater part of its north-well: boundary, palling through feveral lakes : the Dele croffes the eailern fide of it, and the Brofna, which iffues from

Lough Hoyle, runs fouthward into the King's County. It is lingular, that from this lake two rivers flow, in oppofite directions : the Brofna takes a fouthern courfe; while a fhort and rapid flream runs weifward into hough Iron, which difcharges its waters by the Inny into the Shannon. Lough Dene, Lough Iron, Lough Derveragh, Lough Hoyle, and Lough Ennel, are the principal lakes. To thefe mull be added that large and beautiful expanfion of the Shannon, which is full of wooded iflands, and called Lough Rce, or the Royal Lake. The towns in Weflmeath are neither large nor numerous.—

Athlone is the moil: considerable. ; fituated on the Shannon, it was formerly an important pafs into the Weftern Province, and is the moil central town in the ifland. Mullingar, the county- town, is well fituated betwr een the two lakes Hoyle and Ennel, and is noted for a very confiderable horfe-fair, and a great wool- fair. MoATE-G*RENOGUE, KlLBEGGAN, KlNNEGADand CaS- tlepollard, are fmall. In this county alfo, the linen manufacture makes a confiderable progrefs. From COUNTY or LONGFORD. 65

Of the parifhes, 22, containing 15 churches, are in the bifhopric of Ardagh, and one parifh, with its church, in the diocefe of Meath.

Longford is extremely well peopled; for, notwithstanding the bleak and rough hills in the northern angle, and the large bogs that are fpread over the fouth-weft and other parts of the county, it comprehends 10,026 houfes ; of which, if they were equally diflributed, there would be 47.97 in every fquare mile,

and about 2200 fouls. f The parifhes contain, on a medium, 5800 acres, L 2 with 66* COUNTY or LONGFORD. with only 13.4 acres to each houfe. At five fouls to a houfe;, the County mull contain upwards of 50,100 inhabitants*.

By far the greatefr. part of it is flat, and in fome places fubjedt to be overflowed ; yet the farmers are able to fend large cargoes of oats to the port of Drogheda. Many hands are employed in fpinning and weaving ; much linen is made in this county, and great quantities of yarn are fent to more diftant markets. The Shannon forms the weftern boundary of this County.

The Itiny flows at the fouth, Lough Gawnagh expands its waters over many miles in the north; and the Camlin and Fallen, with other fmaller rivers, fupply the heart of it.

The town of Longford, on the Camlin, is of middling fize, and pretty well built. Granard, Edgeworthstown, Bal- lymahon, La.nesbor.ough, St. Johnstown, &c. are fmall. Ten members however are deputed to parliament by this County, and the boroughs of Longford, Lanejborough, Granard, and o7. yohnftown.

Obfervations on the Old Maps.

The length of the County is too great in the old maps by three miles, and the breadth by two. The courfe of the Inny through the barony of Shrowle is quite erroneous, and the names of feveral baronies are ill fpelled. The villages of Kenagh, Barry, and Firmount, are not in JefFerys' Map.

The number of acres in Connaught being 2,630,300, which make about 4108 fquare miles, and the number of houfes only 95,821 ; there are 27.4 acres to every houfe, and only 23.31 houfes in a fquare mile, or* an average of the whole province.

ROSCOMMON.

This County, which the Shannon divides from Longford and* Weftmeath, extends in length from N. to S. 47 miles; the breadth varies considerably, and in the broadeft part, about the middle of the county, is 29 miles. The area meafures 346,650 acres, which are equal to 541 fquare miles*. The fix baronies of Boyle, Ballintobar, Ha/f Balli- moe, Roscommon, Athlone, and Moycarne, contain 56 T parilhes and 22 churches; 50 parifhes, with 20 churches, under the fee of Elphin ; three parifhes and one church under that of

Rofcommon is a flat open country, in fome places fprinkled with rocks, in many interrupted by extenfive bogs, and but little di-

versified with hills. The only mountains within the county are

in the parifh of Kilronan ; a nook between Lough Arrow and Lough Allen, and thefe are become valuable on account of the coal and iron which they are found to contain. The lofty Curlew Mountains, which join Lough Arrow, feparate this county from

Sligo. In the plains of Rofcommon the foil is rich, and as fit

for the ploughman as the grazier. There is however but a fmall

part under tillage, in comparifon of what is devoted to the breeding of black cattle and fheep. The river Shannon winds along the eaflern boundary, branching, in a couife of fifty miles, into feveral fine lakes; of which Lough Ree, Lough Baffin, and Lough Allen, are the largeft. The river Suck divides this county from Galway for a great

length of way, till it lofes its name and waters in the Shannon j and many other ftreams and fmall lakes fertilize and enliven the

fields. The largeft. of the lakes is Lough Key, in the North of the County, which is rendered delightful by wooded iflands and furrounding groves. There are no towns of great fize or confequence in Rofcommon—The principal are Boyle, where the

linen market is of late become very considerable, from the increafe of yarn and linen manufactures in the neighbourhood Roscommon, the County town Strokestown, Elphin, Ca-stlereagh, Miltown-pass, &c. Part of Athlone is

This county is divided into five baronies and ij-f parifhes. The baronies are, Mohill, Leitrim, Carigallen, Dro- mahaire, and Rossclogher. Ten parifhes are in the diocefe of Kihnore, and 7 in Ardagh.

The mountains of Sliebh-Anewr and Dartry cover almoft the whole of Rojfc/ogher ; and a large fcope of Dromahaire is occupied by Sliebh-an-Erin and other mountainous groups.

But thefe great hills are far from unprofitable ; for, producing abundance of coarfe grafs, they annually pour forth immenfe droves of young cattle. The fouthern baronies are level, and their foil good : agriculture of courfe improves, and population increafes with the linen bufinefs, which has made great progrefs

in a country fo well adapted to the growth of flax, and fo convenient to the manufacturer in point of fuel and water. It abounds in fmall rivers, and lakes—The largeft of thefe is Lough Allen, a deep water, 8 miles in length, and z\ in breadth. On the weftern banks of this lake the hills teem with coal and

iron, in this county, as well as in Rofcommon. Great ironworks

have been lately eftablifhed at Arigna, and as foon as the completion of the Royal Canal opens a communication between Dublin and the Shannon, the valuable produces of this diftant county will find an eafy conveyance to market. About four miles north of Lough Allen, the Shannon iffues from Lough Clean, a

fmall lake, which is confidered as the fountain of that noble

Tyreragh, though level along the coaft, is in- terfered by large bogs; and the fouthern part of it is bounded by the Ox Mountain, Sliebh Dham, and a great range of defolate hills, that extend a good way into the barony of Leny, in which alio there is a great fcope of bog. The Curlews, and other mountains, cover the mod of Coolavin; and Kijhcovran forms a * long ridge on the borders of Tyraghrill. Among thefe hills there are many large lakes and abundance of rivers. —The Moy rifes in the mountain of Knocknafiee, and after receiving the waters of Lough Calt and Lough Conn, flows in a broad ftream to the bay of Killalla. Lough Arrow is about eight miles long, full of iflands, and of a very irregular form. A river of the fame name proceeds from it, and running northward, to Ballyfadere, rufhes at once into the fea in a ftupendous cataract.

Lough Garra is alfo an extenfive lake. Lough Gilly exhibits that variety of charming profpects which bold hills, wooded lawns, and large iflands cloathed with verdure and crowned with trees, united with a great extent of

It is divided into Jtxteen baronies, exclusive of the Liberties of Calwav, and contains n6-f parifhes, and 28 churches.

Of the parifhes, 49, in which are 1 1 churches, are under the archbifhop of Tuam ; 37, with 9 churches, in the bifhopric of

Clonfcrt ; and 20, with 4 churches, in that of Kilmacduagh ; 8 parifhes, and 3 churches, are in the diocefe of Ephin ; and two parifhes, with a church, in Killaloe. The 17 baronies are, Clare, Downamore, Half Ballimoe, Killihan, Tia- quin, Athenry, Killconnel, Clonmacow, Longford, Letrim, Loughrea, Kiltartan, and Dunkellin. The number of houfes in the county of Galway is 28,212, + which may contain about 142,000 fouls . On an average of the whole county, there are 35 acres to a houfe, and but 18.24 houfes to a fquare mile. This very fcanty population may be in fome meafure accounted for, by the rude ftate of the three baronies on the weft of Lough Corrib, which amount to a third part of the county; as they contain about 341,600 acres: the lake itfelf covers 31,300. The extenfive country on this fide of the lake is flat ; with the exception of a few fertile hills of no great height, and fome low mountains on the borders of Clare. The foil is warm and fertile, covering, at no great depth, a ftratum of limeftone rock, which in the baronies of Dunkillen and Kiltartan, and in many other places, rifes fo thick above the furface as to render thofe parts unfit for tillage, though they are excellent

Few ditches are to be feen in this county, the fields being chiefly inclofed with dry ftone walls *, which gives the country a dreary afpect.

The weftern part of the county is of quite a different character from the reft. The barony of Moycullin, which is alfo called Iarconnaught, contains fome good land, on the fea coaft and along the beautiful fhore of Lough Corrib. But the heart of this barony is an alfemblage of unreclaimable rock and mountain ; and beyond Oughterard, Mount Lrawftands very high above the lake. The rocks at Oughterard, and in the bed of the river Fuogh, of which there are immenfe maffes, are all a black and white marble, equal at leaft in beauty with that of Kilkenny; yet there is feldom employment for more than one folitary artift, in working up a few chimney-pieces. Lough Corrib fomewhat refembles Lough Erne in its form, and extends 20 miles in length, being n wide in the broadeft part : in the middle it is contracted to a fmall channel, which is croffed by a ferry at Knock -f . There is a frefh-water mufcle in this lake that produces pearls ; of which I have feen fome very fine fpecimens. The large barony of Ballinahinch, which is better known by the name of Connamara, abounds with fine harbours, but is alfo extremely mountainous. The hills of Ourred and Ca/hel are very high, and the vaft ridge called Bean- nabeola, or the Twelve Pins, which is a well-known fea-mark, confifts of almoft perpendicular rocks. At the foot of this ridge, clofe to the little village of Ballinahinch, a charming lake fpreads itfelf for fome miles ; and on the river which runs from it into

Great quantities of help are made all along the coaft, and by manuring with fea wreck, the land is rendered very productive to the fcattered families that inhabit it,

who are all little farmers, and hardy fifhermen. The northern part of Ballinahinch, and the barony of Ross, are called Joyces Country, and inhabited chiefly by a clan of that name. Rofs is alfo extremely rough ; Mamtrafna, on the bor-

ders of Mayo, is very high, and Ben-Levagh, at the north-weft

angle of Lough Corrib, is a ftupendous mountain. Yet the borders of the lake, the fhore of the Killeries, and the valley through which the river Bealnabrack runs, are pretty well peopled,

and the foil fuch as would amply repay the pains and expence of good cultivation. This county, which reaches from the fea to the Shannon, is

well watered by rivers and lakes : feveral of the rivers are, in part of their courfe, fubterraneous. The Black-River, on the bounds of Mayo, dips for about three miles near the village of Shrule. The Clare and the Moyne unite their waters underground, alternately appearing and retiring from view, in the

Turlacbmorc •, which in winter forms a lake, and in fummer a beautiful and found fheep-walk, upwards of fix miles in length, and two in breadth. Near Gort there are a vaft number of

thefe Swallows ; in which fome part of almoft every river and brook in the neighbourhood is ingulphed. The river Gurt- namakin dips feveral times, and after a concealed courfe of two miles, rifes on the beach below high-water mark, and difcharges

itfelf among the rocks in the bay of Kinvarra. Lough Rea is a fine piece of water, and Lough Coutra, near the borders of

Clare, is faid to poffefs all the beauties that hills, woods and iflands can impart to water. The COUNTY of GALWAY. 8l

The maritime advantages of this county mufr. not be omitted. The vaft bay of Galway is fheltered at the entrance by the three

fouthern ifles of Arran *. The found between thefe illands is a

fafe road ; and a number of inlets on the coaft, as well as the harbour of Galway, are fufficiently deep for the reception of

merchant fhips ; but are more frequented by coafters and fifhing- boats than by vcffels in the foreign trade. The indented mores of Connamara abound in well-flieltered havens—thofe of Kill- kcrran, Birterbuy, Roundjlonc, and Bal/inaki!/, are the largeft; and

the Killcries are at the northern extremity of this diftricT:.

The town of Galway is (ituated on the broad and ftony river,

by which Lough Corrib empties itfelf into the fea. It does not cover

a very large fpace, but being very compact, and having little

wafte ground within its ancient and mouldering walls, it con-

tains a great number of inhabitants. They may be eftimated at

12,000, though there are but 950 houfes ; for the greater part of this ancient town confifts of fquare edifices, at leaft two hundred years old, with each a fmall court in the centre. Several diitind:

families occupy thefe large houfes ; an arched way leading from the ftrect to the court, with a ftone flair-cafe on each fide. Gal-

way was formerly the moft commercial town in Ireland ; but the fpirit of enterprife has long fince forfaken this once celebrated mart. The collegiate church, of which the conftitution and privileges are unique in Ireland, is very large. There are three barracks in Galway, which arc ufually garrifoned by two or three regi- ments of infantry. Tuam, though an archiepifcopal fee, is but a very poor city. Loughrea, on a lake of the fame name, is large and populous.

The town of Eyrecourt, and the villages of Dunmore, Ballimoe, Dunamon, He adfort Monivea, Castle-Blakeney, &c. &c. are of little note.

Eight reprefentatives are deputed to Parliament by the County , the town of Ga/way, the city of Titam, and the dilapidated borough of Athenry.

Obfervations on the Old Maps.

The omiffion of the Killeries has been already noticed : but the whole coaft of Connemara and larconnaught is inaccurate, and the names of thofe two diftricts confounded. The river Bealna- brack is made to flow into Round/lone Bay, and afford a fecond outlet to Lough Corrib, inftead of carrying into it a large fupply of water. In Jeffereys' map there appears no communication between the waters of the lake and the bay of Galway ; and

Oughterrard is placed about ten miles N. W. of its true pofition.

Indeed, the reprefentation of thefe three weftern baronies is quite erroneous in all the old maps. The ifles of Arran are placed too near the coaft of Clare, and mifcalled. Inis-Bofin is twelve miles from its true fituation. The boundary between the baronies of Dunkillen and Loughrea is incorrect; and the river which iffues from Lough Rea is made to run on the wrong iide of the town. The courfe of the Moyne is alfo inaccurate; and the Turlach-more^ with another turlach. near Headford, are repre- COUNTY of CLARE. 83-

It is divided into 9 baronies, and 79 parilhes -j-, and contains 19 churches. Of thefe, 57 parilhes and 15 churches are in the diocefe of Killaloe ; 19 parilhes and 3 churches in the bilhopric of Kilnefora; and 3 parilhes, with one church, in that of Lime- rick. The baronies are, Burrin, Corcomroe, Inchiquin, Ibrickan, Moyferta, Clanderlagh, Islands, Bun- ratty, and Tullagh. They comprife 17,396 hcufes, and about 96,000 fouls %. This population is at the rate of 27.3 acres to a houfe, and 23.38 houfes to a fquare mile.

The baronies of Burrin and Corcomroe are exceedingly rocky ; but fuch is the luxuriance of the pallurage interfperfed among the rocks, that thefe feemingly barren hills fupport a great number of cattle, and very large flocks of Iheep. There are many tracts of mountain in this county ; but the more level grounds are very fertile, and productive of corn and hay. In the rougher parts, a great number of excellent horfes are bred, which renders Ardjallis, in the barony of Burrin, one of the principal horfe

fairs in Ireland.

The river Shannon is from one to Jive miles broad between this county and that of Kerry; and the Fergus, which is the principal

river that rifes in Clare, forms a large elluary full of illands, at

its junction with the Shannon. This river, and feveral others, dip underground in fome part of their courfe. Here are alfo

Ennis, the county town, is large and populous, and has the advantage of a fmall port at Clare, which is fituated a few miles lower on the Fergus ; the tide bringing up large boats from thence to Ennis. Except this town, and a considerable fuburb to the city of Limerick, which ftands in the county of Clare, it can boaft no towns of note. Corrofin, Inistymon, Sixmile

Bridge, are fmall ; as is alfo Killaloe upon the Shannon, a place of great antiquity, and the fee of a bifhop. A great rock near this town, and a ledge of rocks lower down in the Shannon, impeding the navigation to Limerick, canals have been cut for the purpofe of getting boats and lighters up the river, which is navigable from hence to Lough Allen, with the interruption of a very few fhallows ; at moft of which cuts * have been made. Killaloe is connected by a bridge with the village of Ballina in Tippcrary. Jufl: above this town the Shannon con- tracts itfelf to the dimenfions of a river, after having, for 16 miles, expanded its waters to a very considerable breadth, under the name of Lough Deirgcart.

The lakes and rivers of Inchiquin are incorrectly traced, and Lough Ogram is made a part of the Shannon.

LIMERICK.

Immediately fouth of the Shannon, which parts it from Clare, the county of Limerick ftretches from E. to W. 40 miles, being 25 broad from N. to S. It contains 386,750 acres, which make 604 fquare miles *.

The foil of Limerick is extremely good for tillage, and very productive of grafs ; efpecially thofe grounds which are called the

Corcachs -f , whole fertility is proverbial, and is caufed by the rich manure which is annually depofited by the overflowings of the Shannon. The heaviest: and fatteft beafis that are flaughtered at Cork are fed in this county ; butter is much exported from it ; the orchards produce a very fine cyder, and it is by no means dcfHtute of trees and plantations.

This county, though diverfified by fmall hills, is not at all mountainous ; except on the fouth-eaft, where it is bounded by the Galtees, a ridge of formidable mountains that extends into

Tipperary; and on the borders of Kerry, where it grows uneven, and forms a grand amphitheatre of low but fteep mountains, which extends in a wide curve from Loghil to Drumcollohcr. In the firfl of thefe rifes the river Maig, which croffes the county falls and into the Shannon ; as do many fine ftreams, by which it is plentifully watered.

It has been difmantled about 30 years, and has increafed prodigioufly within that period, by the addition of handfome ftreets and quays : its commerce has kept pace with its lize, and great quantities of beef and other provifions are now exported from Limerick, which were formerly fent from this county to the port of Cork. As the number of houfes in this city was 4866 in the year 1788, they may be fairly eftimated at 4900 by this time, and the inhabitants at upwards of forty thoufand.

It is not furprifing, that this county ihould be thinly inhabited : barren mountains, and almoft inacceflible rocks, render a large portion of it unfit for habitation, and incapable of culture.

Of all the Irifli lakes, Lough Lane, near the town of Killarney, is defervedly the moft celebrated for picturefque beauty. In the lower and larger lake, the pleafing and the fublime are moft happily combined ; the upper lake reflects a more folemn grandeur from the ftupendous crags with which it is encircled : but the profpects in both are infinitely diverfified. The feveral ifiands, the white rocks of Mucrufs, the groves of Arbutus, the venerable woods, the variety of waterfalls, and the impending cliffs are feparately as delightful and interefting, as their aftemblage is eminently grand and magnificent.

Killarney is fmaller, but in a very improving flate ; not fo much owing to the great' concourfe of vifitants, whom the beau-

ties of the lake attract, as to the judicious attention of the refpeclable proprietor, Lord Kenmare, and to the encouragement which he gives to the extenfion of the linen manufacture through that neighbourhood. Milltown, which was a fmall v.iiage but a few years fince, promifes to become a good market-town by the exertions of Sir William Godfrey, and the convenience of the very water carriage ; the tide bringing up floops from Mang near this town. Dingle, or Dingk-i-couch, was once of great prefent note and of good commerce ; and though the town fhews at fome evident marks of decay, yet it ftill preferves fome little

•trade, and exports butter, beef, corn, and even linen. Near this town, in the caves on the fea fhore, there is

an abundance of very clear and hard cryflals : and fome ame- thyfts of great beauty and luftre are found about Kerry Head— Pearls have alfo been taken out of the lake of Killarney. There S are COUNTY of KERRY. 03

are in feveral parf s of the countv marble and flate quarries ; and it is not deftitute of coal-mines, but the abundance and cheapnefs of turf or peat, render them ufelefs. Several mines of copper, lead, and iron, were formerly worked to good effect, and furnaces were efta-

bliihed, while timber was plenty ; but now that the country is completely cleared of wood, they are neglected. The cider of

Kerry, which is made of the cackigay apple, is highly prized, and

brings a great price ; yet orchards are not very numerous, and that valuable fruit, with another excellent apple, the Kerry pippin,

are little propagated, and difficult to be procured. Eight members are deputed to parliament by the county of Kerry, by Tra/ee, Ardfert, and Dingle.

Objcrvations on the Old Maps.

They make the County one mile fhorter from N. to S. and eight miles broader from E. to W. than the new : but, as a proof that the reduced breadth in the new map is more correct than the old, the area of the County, as meafured upon the new map, exceeds the dimenfions ufually attributed to it * by upwards of ten thoufn nd acres. Thofe maps reprefent the harbour of Caftlc- main too large, and are incorrect as to both the form and pofition of the BLiJkct or Ferriter Iftands, and of the Ske/igs. They omit the villages of Ga/ey, Killurry, Smerwick, and Ti-vourney-geraan, near Di/nmorc Head, of as much celebrity in the weft of Ireland as John a-Groats houfe in the north of Scotland.

94 COUNTY of CORK.

CORK.

Eaftward from Kerry, the county of Cork ftretches 78 miles,

extending from N. to S. 56. It is the largeft county in Ireland ; containing 1,048,800 acres, or 1638 fquare miles *. It comprehends 16 baronies -Duhallow, Orrery and KlLMORE, FERMOY, CONDONS AND Cl ANGIBBON, KlLLNA- talloon, Imokilly, Barrymore, Barrets, Muskerry, KlNALMEAKY, KlNALEA AND KeRR YCU RRI H Y, CoURCEYS, Barryroe, Ibawne, Carbery, and Bear and Bantryj to, which mull be added four peculiar diftricls. The county of the city of Cork, and the liberties of Youghal, Kinsale, and Mallow.

This county is divided into -f- 269 parifhes, in which there are

105 churches ; the diocefe of Cork, comprifing 94 parifhes and 41 churches, and that of Rofs 33 parifhes and 12 churches. The

parifhes 1 -churches bifhopric of Cloyne contains 1 37 and 5 j and 5 parifhes with one church, belongs to the fee of Ardfert. The population of this county is confiderable, it contains 76,739 % houfes, of which about 8100 § are in the city of Cork. The average of the whole gives 46.85 houfes to a fquare mile, and 13.65 acres to a houfe. The number of inhabitants in the city muft be near 73,000, and in the reft of the county about

in all fouls 343,000, making 416,000 J[.

* The county of Cork is much larger than any county in England, except Yorkfhire.

In fo large a diftridt there muft be a great variety of foil. It contains more good land than bad, and fome parts of the county are highly cultivated.

The barony of Bear and Bantry which is covered with mountains, and the weftern parts of Carbcrry and Mujkerry, in which are the Sbeeby mountains, are the pooreft and the lead: improved.

The whole county is hilly, and, a few places excepted, very deftitute of trees. The Galtees and the Waterford mountains bound it on the north-weft. The Nagle mountains and the Bogra, which run weftward through the heart of the county, are a part of that range which is continued, with few interruptions, from Helwick Head in Waterford, acrofs the counties of Cork and

Kerry to the ocean ; and on the north of this ridge lies the narrow plain, which extends from the bounds of Tipperary to Dinglebay. The county of Cork abounds in fine rivers and good harbours. The Blackwater rifes in the mountains between Limerick and Kerry, and flows eaftward through this county, receiving the Funcheon , the Bride, and many fmaller ftreams, in a courfe of eighty miles. It is navigable to Cappoquin, in Waterford, where it turns to the fouthward, and difembogues itfelf in the harbour of Youghall. The Lee iilues from a lake on the weft of Inchigcela, and palling through the city of Cork, in a broad and deep channel, contributes efpecially to the wealth and pros- perity oftbat great commercial town. The Bandon is another fine river, which after watering the large and thriving town of Bandon

Bridge, and the neat village of Ini/bonan, falls into the harbour of

Kin/ale: it is navigable for large (loops as far as Inijhonan, between the moft beautiful wooded and winding banks. The whole coaft of Cork is broken into creeks and bays. The town and harbour of Crook-haven, near Mizcn-head, thefouth-weft point of Ireland, are very well known. Bantry-bay which lies a little to the north of

P this of 9 6 COUNTY CORK.

this cape is at leafr. twenty miles long, and from three to five broad ; every where deep, fheltered, and free from rocks. But the town of Bantry, though at the bottom of this noble bay, is little benefited by its fituation, fince the pilchard fifhery * is now loft. Ships of war and merchantmen often put into Bear-haven, near the mouth of this bay; but the village of Cajlletown affords them few refonrces, and no accommodation. At Adragool, in this bay, there is a cataract of prodigious height, which is dift.inct.ly feen from Bantry, above ten miles acrofs the bay.

Kinsale is well known to pofTefs an excellent and important harbour, though a bar prevents large men of war from coming into the bafon clofe to the town ; in this port alone there is a dock with ftores for the ufe of king's mips. The entrance of the harbour is defended by a fort, which, having been conflructed in the reign of Charles II. is called Charlesfort, and in which there is always a good garrifon. The town which contains at lean: 10,000 \ inhabitants is built on the fide of Compas-hill, and clofe to the water's edge. The broad fummit of this hill would be the mod commanding and advantageous fituation in Ireland, for a fortified town or citadel.

The harbour of Cork is fo formed, as to contain an immenfe number of fhips, in complete fecurity. And the banks of it, being adorned with villas and plantations, prefent a moft agreeable and chearful landfcape. Veffels of 120 tons go up to the city quays, but the large fhips lie at Pajfage, a few miles lower down : the mouth of the harbour is protected by Carlijle fort, the date of whofe conftruction is pointed out by the name. This city is the great mart of the South of Ireland. The principal articles of its export trade are beef and butter: upwards of fifty

* While I was at Bantry, in 1788, fome pilchards were taken, from which fanguine

hopes were entertained of the return of that filh to the Irifn coaft ; but I have not fince

heard that thefe hopes have been realized. + The number of houfes in 1788 was 1079. 3 thoufand COUNTY of CORK. 97 thoufand barrels of the former, and about /even thou/and tons of

butter were exported in the courfe of laft year ; they export alfo

a great quantity of corn, and fome linen. Toughal is fituated at

the eaftern extremity of the county, on the mouth of fas. Black-

water, and contains about 7000 inhabitants ; among whom fevcral genteel families are permanent, exclufive of a great refort of

bathers in the fummer feafon. The port is commonly full of veffels engaged in the coafting trade.

Of the inland towns, Mallow is the moil considerable; it is fituated on the fame river, forty miles higher up, and very much frequented, on account of a foft and tepid fpring, of the fame nature and efficacy as the Hotwells of Briftol.

Cloyne, though the residence of the bifhop, is of little confe-

quence; and Ross is (till fmaller—But to enumerate all the towns and principal villages of this extenfive county would exceed my bounds. Mitchelstown however claims a particular notice, both for the elegance and regularity of its buildings, and on account of a college, founded a few years ago by the late lord Kingfton, for twenty-eight decayed gentlemen or ladies, who receive 40 1. a year each, and have a neat houfe and garden. The college is a handfome range of regular buildings, with a chapel in the centre, forming one fide of a large fquare. There is alfo a good houfe, with a falary of iool. a year for the chaplain. At Dromagh and Dromanagh, in the barony of Duhallow, there are coal-pits ; iron is alfo railed, and there are fome furnaces in this county. Much linen is wove about the InifJjonan and Dun- manawky ; cotton and other manufactures have been eitabliihed at Blarney, and coarfe woollens are made in feveral parts of the county. Of the many illands appertaining to this county, the moft noted is Clare-ijland, the fouthern point of which is well known to mariners by the name of Cate Clear, but which ought rather to be written Cape Clare. This county and its towns are reprefented in parliament by 26 members, who are delegated by the county, and the city of Cork, P 2 the 98 COUNTY or WATERFORD. the towns Kin/ale, Toughal, Bandon-bridge, Mallow, Doneraile, Ratbcormuck, Middleton, Charleville, and Cajllemartyr, and by the

Very little of this county is level; but in the fouth and eaft, the foil though hilly is rich and productive. A group of mountains overfpreads a considerable fpace between Dungarvon to Clonmell, of which the higheft range is called the Commcragb. Another ridge extends on the north of the Blackwater, to the borders of Cork and Tipperary, under the name of Knochnckdown. Thefe hills, however, except in a few defolate and craggy fpots, afford pafture to fmall cows, which produce a great quantity of butter. Dairies are alfo very numerous in the more level grounds of of the county. The river Blackwater flows through the weft of this county, into the bay of Youghal ; and is navigable to Cappoquin. The gentle and majeftic Suir divides it from the counties of Tippe- rary and Kilkenny, running eaft till joined by the Barrow; when turning to the fouth, they form an eftuary nine miles long and two broad, which is the harbour of Waterford.

The large and populous city of Waterford is well built, and contains about 35,000 fouls. It ftands on the fouth fide of

the river Suir; which is embanked by a very noble quay, extending the whole length of the town. VeiTels of great burthen can

come up to this quay, but the largeft ihips generally lie a few miles lower dcjwn. A very flourifhing commerce, with England

and other countries, is the happy confequence of fuch a lunation.

Near it {lands the New-Geneva, an elegant village regularly built, which was ere&ed by government a few years fince, for the reception of the expatriated citizens of Geneva. But they having relinquilhed the defign of fettling in Ireland, this place remains ftill uninhabited. Almoft oppofite, on the Wex- ford more, the fort of Duncannon protects the harbour of Water ford, by batteries of heavy cannon; the deep part of the channel running clofe to the rock on which the fort is built. Hooktower, at the extremity of the narrow peninfula on the E. of the harbour, is ufed as a light-houfe. Tramore, a village fix miles S. of Waterford, confifis of a number of neat houfes, fituated on a fine ftrand, at the edge of a (hallow bay, and much reforted to for fea-bathing.

Dungarvan is a good fifhing-town on a fmall harbour, and enjoys a confiderable lhare of the coafling trade. It is fupplied with frefli water from the river Pbinix, by an aqueduct of about fix miles in length. Tallow is a thriving town, the river

TIPPERARY.

THE county of Tipper a ry * joins that of Waterford, and ftretches northward 52 miles, terminating like a wedge, between

Leinfter and Connaught. From E. to W. it meafures 31 miles, and contains 554,950 acres, or 867 fquare miles y. Tipper ary comprehends the 12 baronies of Iff a andOFFA* Clanwilliam, Middlethird, Slewardagh and Comp- SEY, KlLNEMANNA, Kl L LN A LONG URTY, ElIOGURTY, IKE- rin, Ileagh, Owney and Arra, Upper Ormond, and'

There may be about 169,000 inhabitants in this county, eftimating the population of 30,703 houfes at 5^ fouls * per houfe. And the average proportion of houfes is 18.07 acres to a houfe, and 35.51 houfes in a fquare mile. This is about the medium population of the whole province, but very fcanty for fo fine a county. For except in the rough hills ot Kilnetnanna&w&Owney, fome mountains near Rofcrca, the lofty Keeper, Sliebh-na-Man, the

Qaltees and Knockmeledown, all of which occupy but a fmall proportion of this extenfive county, the foil is generally very good, and in fome large tracts, particularly in that which is called the Golden Vale, and about the town of Tipperary, extremely rich and fertile. But this county is more celebrated for the excellence of its cattle, and the verdure of its fheep walks, than for the number of its corn fields. Much wheat however is raifed, chiefly in the

fouth, fince it has no lefs than 48 boulting mills, which is a greater number than any other county can boaft.

Small rivers and brooks in abundance fupply thefe mills : and

the Suir rolls through the heart of the county. This river rifes in the mountain of Bendubh, on the borders of the King's County,

and takes a fouthern direction, till, obftrudted by the Waterford

mountains, it is compelled to alter its courfe ; when, turning

uniting with the Nore and the Barrow, meets the fea, near a hun-

dred miles from its fource.

Clonmell is the fhire town, large and opulent, where the

woollen and cotton manufactures are in a flourifhing ftate. Though very inconveniently fituated for the aflizes, at the extremity of fo large a county; it is admirably feated for trade, on

the northern bank of the Star, which is fo far navigable for large boats, the tide flowing a little way above the town. Sloops of

confiderable burthen reach Ca.rr.ick, which is alio a good town, famous for the manufacture of a particular kind of woollen cloth,

called Ratteen. The city of Cashel is well inhabited for its fize, but has no trade. Fethard, Tipperary, Cahir, Holy- cross, Thurles, Silvermines, Nena'gh, and Roscrea, are the principal towns. The leadworks at Silvermines are very productive, and fome virgin filver has been found among the ore ; but the chief pro- duels of the county are butter, fat cattle, fheep, and flour, of which laft article great quantities are fent to Dublin.

CL ECCLE- ( i°4 )

III. ECCLESIASTICAL DIVISION OF IRELAND..

THE ecclefiaftical flate of this kingdom is ftill lefs known than its topography, nothing authentic having yet appeared in print upon that fubjecl:. The Statements in the following pages are founded on the authority of the regiffries and vifitarion books of the refpedtive diocefes ; on the communications with which the author has been favored by feveral of the bifhops and clergy; and on the information which he acquired in viflting the different parts of the kingdom.

The firft preachers of chriftianity in Ireland eftablifhed a great number of bilhopricks, which gradually coalefced into the thirty- two diocefes, that have for feveral centuries conftituted the eccle-

fiaftical divifion of the kingdom. But when the country became impoveriflied and depopulated, by the perpetual feuds and fre-

quent civil wars with which it was defolated for ages ; it was found neceffary at different periods to unite fome of the poorefl of thefe fees, in order that the bifhops might have a competence to fupport the dignity and hofpitality incumbent on their high fta-

tion: and hence it comes, that there are only twenty-two prelates in the church of Ireland, twenty fees being united under ten bifhops. Thefe caufes having had the fame operation with refpect

to parifhes, the 2438 parifhes do not form quite 1200 benefices ; many having been confolidated by the privy council, from time to time, under the authority of an act of parliament; and many others, though but epifcopally united, having been considered as ©nly one living time out of mind. This ECCLESIASTICAL DIVISION, &c. 105

This kingdom is divided ecclefiafHcally, as well civilly, into four provinces ; but the civil and ecclefiaftical boundaries are far from coinciding. An archbifhop prefides over each. The /even bifhops of the northern province are fuffragans to the archbifhop of Ar- magh, who is Lord Primate, and metropolitan of all Ireland.

The archbifhop of Dublin is Lord Primate of Ireland, and has three fuffragan bifhops in the eaftern province. The fouthern province with its Jive fuffragans is under the jurifdiccion of the archbifhop of Cashel, Lord Primate of Munflcr. And the archbifhop of Tuam, Lord Primate of Connai/gbt, prefides over the three bilhops of the weftcrn province.

The number of Deanries in this kingdom is thirty-three, and of Archdeaconries thirty-four. But the archdeacons have not a vi- fitatorial jurifdiction ; the government of the church of Ireland, which is in moff. things conformable to that of England, differing with refpedf. to vifitations: for in Ireland, the bifliops hold a vilita- tion annually, and the archbifhop vifits his fuffragans every third year.

The Crown prefents to 2 parifhes, which are- the corps of the refpeclive deanries, in each of thefe diocefes : the other 48 parifhes are in the gift of the bifhop. The cathedral of Killalla is fmall, but venerable for its antiquity: it is the only church in the parifh, though a round tower at the other end of the village indicates the ancient fite of another church, of which however no veftige remains.

The palace is a very fmall and ruinous houfe, ill fituated and ill contrived, at the edge of a very fine demefne ; but the prefent bilhop is making fuch additions and improvements as will render it a very comfortable refidence. It is not 30 miles diflant from the moil: remote part of either diocefe.

' I "'HE communication of fome official documents, which were -*- laid before the Iriih parliament, while this book was in the prefs, tempts me to add to it a few pages ; with a more correct account of the population, and fome particulars concerning the prcfent ffate of the agriculture, manufactures, and exports of Ire- land. Theincreafe of population has been aftonifhingly rapid: thenum- ber of inhabitants having been trebled in little more than a century. Soon after the revolution they were eftimated by Sir William Petty, at no more than 800,000. In the year 1695, a computation was made from the returns of the collectors of hearth-money

» The round tower of Dowtipatrhk was taken downj in order to enlarge the weft end of the cathedral, which is now repairing, after having lain in ruins for a great number of years. And it is vtry remarkable, that under the foundations of this tower, were found the veftiges of a more ancient church, which appears to have been of exceeding good mafonry, and upon a larger fcale than the prefent old fabrick, in the walls of which there are many pieces of cut ftone, that have evidently been ufed in fome former building. The fame circumftancc may alfo be obferved in fcvcral of the ruined churches at Cloiimacnoi/e.

3 by r 42 POSTSCRIPT. by which it appears, that they amounted, at that period, to fomething more than a million, there being then 200,000 houfes. I find that the number of houfes returned by thofe officers at Lady- *. day 1 78 1 was 477,602 An account was laid before the Houfe of Commons in the courfe of this feffion -f ; in which the houfes of each county are clafTed, according to the number of hearths they contain, and amount in the whole to 701,102 J. And if we allow only Jive perfons to a houfe, the number of inhabitants mult exceed three millions and a half: but when we take into consideration the great populoufnefs of the pooreft cottages, the many crouded houfes in Dublin and other large towns, and that the univerfity, the barracks, hofpitals, and public offices are not included in the hearth-money returns ; we may perhaps, without exaggeration, rate the average number of perfons at Jive and a halfto a houfe, and confequently ftate the population of Ireland, at this day, to be 3,850,000. This prodigious increafe of population in one hundred years, is doubtlefs, in a great meafure owing to the progreffive improvements in agriculture and manufactures ; fince the molt induftrious counties are the moft populous. But we muft. not overlook the natural caufes which

have alfo contributed to it : fuch are the mildnefs of the climate, the abundance and convenience of fuel, and the habits of the people; who, content with fimple food, are plentifully fupplied with a wholefome and cheap fuftenance, in that invaluable root the

~~potatoe. Certain it is that the culture of the potatoe has increafed~~

~~amazingly, in the laft thirty years : and it is as certain, that population invariably follows, where plenty of fubfiftence occurs.~~

That there is employment for this augmented number of inhabitants, appears from the riling wages of the labourer and artificer, in moil parts of the kingdom. That manufactures and hufbandry are not only much extended in the places where they have been long eftablifhed, but fpreading even into the molt, remote counties,

~~has been partly fhewn in the foregoing pages, and is confirmed by~~

~~the fubjoined extracts of official papers. That this country is in~~

a date of high and increasing profperity, is evident from the comparative Statement of the exports of different periods : I have Hated only two, but were there room here for further extracts concerning the State of commerce in former times, the progrefs it has made would be ftill more manifeft. But the late great increafe of the linen manufacture is owing to the export bounties, which com- menced in 178 1 : as the advancement of tillage is to be dated from 1784. * Bounties on exportation had operated with various fuccefs at different times : but it was in that year that Mr. Foftcr, now Speaker of the Houfe of Commons, framed the excellent fyftem of regulations, which have rendered bounties effectual. Some judgment maybe formed of the State of tillage, from an account of the mills which are folely appropriated to the grinding of wheat and making of flour -f. Of thefe there are 249.
