The Scientific Tourist Through Ireland

This Interesting Country Becoming Every Day More And More The Subject Of Inquiry And Personal Investigation, An Hibernian Tourist's Guide Consequently Forms A Necessary Adjunct To Our Original Plan. In Prosecuting This Design, Our Object Is, By Method And Selection, To Enable Even The Casual Six-weeks Visitant To Explore Readily The Most Important And Curious Specimens Of Nature And Art, And That Without Subjecting Him To Those Travelling Inconveniences Which It Has Been Too Much The Fashion To Complain Of. Whilst Travelling, At All Times And In All Countries, The Tourist Must Learn To Suffer Petty Vexations, Privations, And Delays; But A Very Amusing Ramble May Be Executed In Ireland, Without More Of These Than The Usual Share. The Means Of Conveyance Are Now Varied, Extensive, Rapid, And Generally Convenient; Not Only From The Capital In All Directions, But Also By Means Of Provincial Coaches Diverging From All The Principal Points; Whilst Good Roads And Improving Inns Give Facility And Comfort To Those Who Travel With Their Own Horses And Carriages. In Some Places Also, The Inland Navigation Affords A Change Of Scenery And Of General Amusement To The Independent Traveller.
