road is worn by torrents into a channel, which 

 is blocked up in places by huge fragments, fo 

 that it would be a horrid road on a level; but 

 on a hill fo fteep, that the beft path would be 

 difficult to afcend, it may be fuppofed terrible : 

 the labourers, two pafllng Grangers, and my 

 fervant, could with difficulty get the chaife up. 

 It is much to be regretted that the direction of 

 the road is not changed, as all the reft from

Nedeen is a little town, very well fituated,

 There is a vale of good land, which is here 

 from a mile and a half to a mile broad; and to 

 the north and fouth, great ridges of mountains

 Kerry; the greateft part of the barony of Glan-

 Iveragh. The country is all a region of moun- 

 tains, inclofed by a vale of flat land on the ri-
