LETTER LXXIII. 



Tullamore Park, Oct. 18, 1813. 



X HE situation of Tullaraore Park is very 

 commanding : some inconveniences arising from 

 its exposure decided the house to be built one 

 story high only, with the exception of the 

 tower in the centre : it forms a quadrangle, and 

 contains a great number of good apartments ; 

 and though from the character of its elevation 

 it is not entitled to be called a splendid man- 

 sion, it is certainly a very comfortable and ha- 

 bitable one. 



The wind blew afresh gale, which afforded us 

 an opportunity of forming some judgment of the 

 violence with which it must be assailed. 



The extreme point of Slieve Donald is washed 

 by the sea : the first line of mountain forms a 

 beautiful curve, as if bent in homage of Slieve 

 Donald. The rocks and cascades are objects 

 generally admired : these may be seen else- 

 where ; but Slieve Donald has few if any equals.
