Reached Armagh in the evening •, waited on 

 the primate. 



July 23d, his Grace rode out with me to Ar- 

 magh, and {hewed me fome of the noble and 

 fpirited works by which he has perfectly chang- 

 ed the face of the neighbourhood. The build- 

 ings he has erected in 7 years, one would fup- 

 pofe without previous information, to be the 

 work of an active life. A lift of them will 

 juftify this obfervation. 



He has erected a very elegant palace, 90 

 feet by 60, and 40 high, in which an unadorn- 

 ed firnplicity reigns. It is light and pleafing, 

 without the addition of wings or leffer parts, 

 which too frequently wanting a fufficient uni- 

 formity with the body of the edifice, are un- 

 connected with it in effect, and divide the at- 

 tention.
