THIS HUMBLE ATTEMPT TO FACILITATE AND FAMILIARIZE A JUST KNOWLEDGE OF THE VALUE AND BEAUTIES OF THE KINGDOM OF IRELAND HAVING BEEN MOST RESPECTFULLY PRESENTED, IS NOW ON ITS PUBLICATION WITH PERMISSION INSCRIBED AND DEDICATED, WITH EVERY POSSIBLE SENSE OF THE OBLIGATION AND CONDESCENSION, TO HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS THE GRAND DUKE MICHAEL OF RUSSIA: WHOSE VISIT TO THIS INTERESTING ISLAND AND IMPORTANT ARM OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE HAS CONFERRED AN HONOUR WHICH CAN NEVER BE ERASED FROM THE RECOLLECTION OF THE IRISH NATION. August 31, 1818. IRELAND. INTRODUCTION. This interesting country becoming every day more and more the subject of inquiry and personal investigation, an HIBERNIAN TOURIST'S GUIDE consequently forms a necessary adjunct to our original plan. In prosecuting this design, our object is, by method and selection, to enable even the casual six-weeks visitant to explore readily the most important and curious specimens of nature and art, and that without subjecting him to those travelling inconveniences which it has been too much the fashion to complain of. Whilst travelling, at all times and in all countries, the tourist must learn to suffer petty vexations, privations, and delays; but a very amusing ramble may be executed in Ireland, without more of these than the usual share. The MEANS OF CONVEYANCE are now varied, extensive, rapid, and generally convenient; not only from the capital in all directions, but also by means of provincial coaches diverging from all the principal points; whilst good roads and improving inns give facility and comfort to those who travel with their own horses and carriages. In some places also, the INLAND NAVIGATION affords a change of scenery and of general amusement to the _independent_ traveller.
