Noble Terrace-road from Rosstrevor. 341 



The mountains seen beyond Slieve Donald in 

 the back ground have also a very fine aspect. 



Good taste and simplicity are always in unison, 

 but there is a grandeur in the scenery of this 

 place to which art can add little, and every at- 

 tempt to embellish would rather detract from, 

 than add to its magnificence. 



The approach from Rosstrevor is by a noble 

 terrace, commanding a glorious sea view the 

 Alpine boundary rich in sublimity and variety 

 of outline, ending in the towering Slieve Donald, 

 which forms an appropriate termination to the 

 prospect. I know of no equal distance of coun-

 ferior to its majestic neighbour, whose height is 

 two thousand eight hundred and nine feet from 

 the level of the sea, from whose dashing waters 

 to the elevation of nearly seven hundred feet, it 

 is sumptuously covered with wood.

 do not seem to have been inimical to the plan-
