Synopsis

Pagan superstition; in short, nothing has been omitted that was likely to awaken interest or excite attention, and that could consistently with the design of the work be brought within its limits. The Engravings have in every instance been taken from Drawings made on the spots they illustrate, by MR. BARTLETT, whose pencil has already attained a high reputation, by his graceful and truthful delineations of the scenery of A merica, Switzerland, Scotland, the Bosphorous, c. The literary department has been confided to Mr. N. P. WILLIS and Mr. J. S. COYNE. The first-named gentleman has contributed a portion of the letter-press which describes the scenery of the north of I reland, part of Connemara, the river Shannon, Limerick, and Waterford. The latter writer has contributed the entire volume illustrating the scenery of Cork and Kerry, the far-famed lakes of Killarney, Glengariff, Bantry Bay, the southern and western coasts of the island as far north as Galway Bay, Dublin and its vicinity, and the picturesque beauties of the county of Wicklovv.
