Such are the contributors to this 

 work. It is with the umoft pleafure 

 I reflect on the liberal, polite and 

 friendly manner in which I was receiv- 

 ed by iuch a number of perrons, among 

 whom are many of the mod diftin- 

 guifhed characters in Ireland— -Charac- 

 ters that would reflect a luftre upon any 

 nation. 



The mod carelefs eye will difcern at 

 once the great advantages, which the 

 uncommon, but polite hofpitality of 

 the nation, united with an eagernefs to 

 do whatever had the mod: diftant ap- 

 pearance of being ierviceable to their 

 country, gave me in defcribing it. If, 

 with all thefe advantages, Ireland is not 

 in future much better known than ever 

 fhe was before, the fault is entirely 

 mine, and I have little to plead in ex- 

 tenuation of it.
