LETTER XXIV. 



Sligo, Sept. 3, 1813. 



OUR first pursuit this morning was to pay a 

 second visit to the docks, and to take a further 

 view of the Bay and Lough. Its banks are 

 bold to the south ; the opposite shore flat and 

 fertile. The scenery from this place is ex- 

 tremely beautiful, in which Benbulb forms a 

 conspicuous feature. 



Those who travel to this part of Ireland 

 should calculate on the appropriation of some 

 time to the examination of this Lough, and 

 exploring the others we have passed ; in which 

 pursuit they would find much gratification, as 

 the general appearance of them, in point of 

 beauty, is little inferior to much of our lake 

 scenery in Westmorland. 



After spending some time very pleasantly, 

 we returned, and procured a boat to take us 

 to Hazlewood, the seat of Mr. Wynne, which 

 is considered as one of the first show places in 

 Ireland.
