130 t a n d oc n ol 500 . e m l P RE F A C E . m b b c T HE Illustrator , unconfined by any definite or preconcerted syste , has ram led over su je ts h ou —if ffi wit t method or restraint he has pleased su ciently , for which he is aware his thanks ’ are b e d m w th e to acknowle ged ore to the fascinating po ers of his coadjutors pencil , than to I h as b . L k b efforts of his pen , the chief object of the llustrations been o tained i e the utterfly , he has winged his d esultory course through paths of pleasure adorned with a thousand ’ m sweets , passing heedlessly over many of nature s fairest flowers , and gathering only fro the blossoms of his choice . The earliest topographical writers have invited attention to the singular beauties of I rish ' . C am br e nsis a u b u scenery decl red that nature looked with a more favo ra le eye than sual , I m upon this kingdom of zephyrs ; and authors , more attached to reland , and ore conspicuous for a love of truth , have asserted , that nature has here denied nothing that is necessary to constitute a great and happy people ; and , ’ ’ Tho form d to ch r m new r a ur to ns a , pt e i pire, ’ ’ To feed the painter s and the poet s ti re e t a e m y to the present g and period belongs the peculiar merit of having unfolded those char s , o f and discovered those graces , which the world taste are now permitted to enjoy . M s ankind in general appear to possess an innate love of the beauties of nature , and thi b w b c d passion has een al ays found to predominate most in warm , suscepti le , and ultivate c b w minds ; and , perhaps , for this precise reason it is , that su h su jects as a aken the powers , be b d and g ratify the pleasures , of the imagination , will oth better un erstood , and more clearly b . appreciated , in the present period , than in those ages just gone y I t be b A I u I a d should o served , that the rtists , engaged in the ll strations of rel n , ‘ w c were obliged to delineate , from a great variety of subjects , all of which ere pi turesque m and sublime , landscapes representing select and distinct pieces of i agery and the Illustrator u ch m has seized those happy occasions , for the introd ction of su legends , facts , or circu be b stances , as may well understood y the contemplator of each scene . A w be a lthough a systematic plan is disclaimed , a principle ill found to regul te the selection of subjects . The P ublic Buildings of chief cities and capital towns have all been u A m a introd ced , and with so much address , on the part of the rtists , that, if necessary , they y be i wed a v e as rchitectural drawings . The singular wildness and p eculiar character of the Irish b b f endeavoured to make intelligi le , y views selected rom many different not previously pu b gh the most unknown . t is hoped pleasure , beauty , and harmony that meed apportioned to a work of taste , b e I accu m u l at if it shall also found that the llustrations have added to the small , and slowly i n I g heap of information upon the Topography of reland , the measure of its appetite for p raise is full . For I S the present we take leave of rish Views , and recommend to our ubscribers two E — l LAN CA H I RE similar volumes , of nglish S cenery one il ustratin g the County of S ; the other — the Counties of D EVO N and CO RNW ALL either of which may be had separately .
