The excellence and number of our fprings 
(whether medicinal or incrufting) are well 
known to common inquirers. Rael 
Our minerals are as great in quantity, as 
rich in quality: of gold, indeed, we cannot

filver is found in great abundance in our lead 
ores, and veins of native filver in the copper 
ore of Muckrus, on the lake of Killarny. 
The hzematites iron ores of Cumberland, and 
the beautiful columnar iron ores of the foreft 
of Dean, are fufficient to difplay our riches

and that county, and feveral others in the

another eyen to. the value of three guineas.
