A 



TOUR, &c. 



JUNE 19th, 1776, arrived at Holyhead, 

 after an inftruttive journey through a 

 part of England aid Wales I had not {cen. 

 before. Found the packet, the Claremont, 

 captain Taylor, would fail very foon. After 

 a tedious paffage of twenty-two hours, land- 

 ed on the 20th, in the morning, at Dunleary, 

 four miles from Dublin, a city which much 

 exceeded my expectation j the public build- 

 ings are magnificent, very many of the ftreets 

 regularly laid out, and exceedingly well built. 

 The front of the parliament-houie is grand ; 

 though not fo light as a more open finiih- 

 ing of the roof would have made it. The 

 apartments are fpacious, elegant, and con- 

 venient, much beyond that heap of con- 

 fufion at Weftminfter, fo inferior to the mag- 

 nificence to be looked for in the feat of 

 empire. I was fo fortunate as to arrive juft 

 in time to fee Lord Harcourt, with the ufual 

 Vol. I. B ceremonies,
