Shaen Caftle ftands in the midft of a very fine 

 tract. From Mountrath to Glofter, Mr. Lloyd's, 

 I could have imagined myfelf in a very pleafing 

 part of England ; the country breaks into a 

 variety of inequalities of hill and dale ; it is all 

 well inclofed, with fine hedges ; there is a plen- 

 ty of wood, not fo monopolifed as in many 

 parts of the kingdom by here and there a foli- 

 tary feat, but fpread over the whole face of the 

 profpect : look which way you will, it is culti- 

 vated and chearful. 



The King's county contains the following 

 baronies, and annexed to their names is the 

 value per acre of each :

In Gafhill are 13000 acres belonging to Lord 

 Digby ; and in Warrenftown is Croghen hill, 

 famous for the great fleeces the fheep yield that 

 are fed upon it. A Curragh fheep, from giv- 

 ing jib. carried there, will yield i2lb. but the 

 quality is coarfe.
