Removal of Parliament at first a great Lots. 1 33 



first instance, a great loss to Dublin ; but those 

 most adverse to the measure, at the time, now 

 admit that the consequences have proved less 

 injurious than were expected trade is reviving, 

 and has increased ; and it is an agreed opinion, 

 that in a short time it will more than compensate 

 a loss which was considered as ruinous to its 

 prosperity. 



Generally speaking, the society of Dublin is 

 excellent: the seat of Government, the univer- 

 sity, the courts of law, and a large military 

 establishment, induce great numbers to make it 

 their constant residence. 



You cannot expect, from the slight view I have 

 been able to take of Dublin, more than a very 

 imperfect sketch of the many interesting objects 

 which this city presents ; many have been only 

 partially seen, while others have been entirely 

 overlooked ; but the length of this letter ma- 

 nifests that, amid all its claims on my attention, 

 you cannot be forgotten. Adieu.
