J 18 Unfavorable Season for visiting Dublin. 



sidences considerably; many of the .principal 

 inhabitants having quitted Dublin. Some of 

 these have returned ; a great number of new 

 buildings are erecting, and the place, we were 

 told, is as much resorted to as formerly. 



Unfortunately we could not have visited 

 Dublin at a more unfavourable season, as the 

 courts were not sitting j the theatres not open ; 

 & great proportion of the first families absent at 

 their country seats ; and the town wearing a 

 forlorn desolate appearance, by wanting the 

 bustle of a great commercial city, and the dis- 

 play of fashion, equipage, and other indications 

 of opulence. Adieu.
