The Castle was built by King John, on the ruins of the Abbey of St. Carthagh: It belonged to the Duke of Devonshire, and gave birth to the great philosopher, Robert Boyle : It is boldly seated on the verge of a rocky hill, which rises almost perpendicularly, to a considerable height, over the River Blackwater. It was for many years an Episcopal residence, until Myler Magrath, Archbishop of Cashel, and Bishop of this See, granted the Manor of Lismore to that celebrated scholar and soldier, Sir Walter Raleigh, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, at the yearly rent of <£l3..<5..8 : But this estate being lopped off with his head, in the reign of King James the First, it afterwards came into the hands of Sir Richard Boyle, who purchased all Sir Walter's lands. Here is a fine bridge over the River Blackzvatcr, which was erected at a very great expense by the Duke of Devonshire; and which is remarkable for the extent of its principal arch, the span of it being 90 feet. Below the town is a rich fishery for salmon, which is the greatest branch of trade here. The public road to Cork was formerly through this town. The Bishoprick of Lismore, according to Dr. Beaufort, was founded in the beginning of the Seventh century. It was united to the See of Waterford, in the year 1536'.

The Cathedral is spacious, and handsome. There are some parts of the Diocese of Lismore 35 miles distant from the city of Waterford. See, Waterford.- — " Some writers affirm, that there was neither Church nor City here before the time of St. Mochuda; yet we find, that John was Bishop of Lismore in the time of St. Senan, who lived about the year 540. — An Hospital for Lepers was founded here under the Invocation of St. Brigid, to which several lands did belong, as appears from a Registry compiled some time after 1467, when the Master of the Hospital, styled Prior of Lismore, was in his 120th year: At the time of the general suppression, these lands were unknown. — A Cell for an Anachorite, belonged to the church of Lismore, which was endowed with the lands of Ballyhaufy or Anchoret's town, a burgage in Lismore, six stangs of land, afield called Gortrimenyearty, and two small gardens, the whole of the annual value of £ 10." — Arclidall's Monast.

   Kilkenny is by a Ferry, an inconvenience to which the great depth and breadth of the river has hitherto compelled the inhabitants to submit. This city is about twelve miles distant from the Sea: The harbour runs almost twelve miles up the country, nearly in a straight line, and is all the way deep and clear. Here arc several Charity Schools, and Humane Foundations, well supported: Many of the public edifices are extremely elegant : The private dwellings are generally modern, and with the other improvements of the city, keep pace with the increase of its opulence. It gives title of Viscount to the family of Lumley, that of Earl to the family of Talbot, and thatof Marquess to the Earl of Tyrone. The See of Waterford (which is valued in the King's Books at <£72. .8.. 1 Irish Money,) was united, according to Dr. Beaufort, in the year 1536, to the See of Lisrnore : The Bishoprick of Lismore had been founded in the beginning of the Seventh century ; but that of Waterford was not established until the Eleventh, when the Ostmen or Danes settled on the Irish Coast. This very small Diocese is confined to the Eastern part of the County of Waterford, and does not extend above 10 miles in length, and 7 miles m breadth. But the Diocese of Lismore is 30 miles long, and about 29 miles broad, including the greatest part of the County of Waterford, and a considerable portion of that of Tipperary. The Union stretches in length 39 miles from East to West, and 29 miles in breadth. The Chapter of Waterford consists only of the Dean, Precentor (see, Kilbarrymeaden), Chancellor (see, Monemointer}, and Treasurer (see, Lisnakil[}, for there are no Prebendaries, and the Archdeacon has not a vote. The Cathedral of Waterford is a very elegant church, erected within a few years. The Bishop's Palace, which stands close by it, is a handsome modern structure of no great size, and very much confined in situation. — " The Priory of St. Catherine is the first House of Religion which appears ; it was founded by the Ostmen for Augustinian Canons of the Congregation of St. Victor, but we know not at what period.— The Hospital of St. Stephen, in St. Stephen's Street, was founded for Lepers, and endowed by the Power family. This Hospital must have been erected before the Benedictine Abbey, for John Earl of Morton, in his Charter to that Abbey, confirmed the Leper-House to the Poor of the City.— John Earl of Morton arrived in Waterford, A. D. 1 185, when he founded the Priory of St. John the Evangelist in the suburbs of the City, for Monks of the Order of St, Benedict, and confirmed to them the lands of Ballyowedin. In the Charter he calls it his Aims-House, and makes it a Cell to the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul in the City of Bath, Somersetshire. Peter de Fonte was a munificent Benefactor to this House.— The Friars Preachers, or Dominicans, were introduced into this city, A. D. 1226. And upon application of the Citizens to King Henry III, on the 20th of February, he granted his Royal approbation, that their intended house should be buift on that waste piece of ground, late the site of an ancient tower.

   City of Dublin in a short tract ; but it would be unpardonable to omit some of its principal features. It extends above two rniles in every direction, and is rapidly increasing in size, opulence, and beauty. The River Liffey, which passes through its centre, is crossed by six Bridges, one of which is of great elegance. The Harbour is defended from the inclemency of the winds and waves by a strong mole or wall, extending nearly four miles in length, and terminating with a Light-house, which is erected about a mile from the Eastern and adjacent to the Southern bar. Corresponding to this handsome and useful Pharos, there stands on the Promontory of Hoath, which forms the North side of the Bay, another very complete Light-house. The vast number of country-houses, and neat villages, which cover the shores of the Bay, the varied and undulating summits of the Wicklow Mountains in the southern back-ground, and the prospect of the City at the West end, compose one of the grandest scenes that can be imagined. Of the many Public Edifices that adorn it, the most remarkable are, — THE CASTLE, which stands nearly in the middle of the city, and is the residence of the Viceroy,— THE PARLIAMENT-HOUSE; — THEUNIVERSITV,— THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, — and THE CUSTOM-HOUSE ;— all buildings of great magnificence. THE COURTS of JUSTICE are almost finished in the same style,— THE LINEN HALL,— THE BAR- RACKS,—HOSPITALS for Invalids,— for the children of sailors and of soldiers, for the education of youth, and for the reception of the aged and infirm of various descriptions— are too numerous to mention separately. THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY was incorporated in 1786. THE DUBLIN SOCIETY, for the improvement of agriculture and useful arts, which was incorporated so early as the year 1749, has truly answered the end of its institution, by promoting objects of the utmost importance to Ireland. Two Canals are begun on the opposite sides of the river, with which they are immediately to communicate. The Southern Navigation extends upwards of forty miles, to the River Barrow, which is navigable ; and a branch of this canal is carried on in a western direction towards the Shannon. The Northern Canal has also communication with that great River in the County of Longford, and, by a collateral Cut unites with the Boyne navigation. To the West end of the town adjoins THE PHOZNIX PARK, a Royal Demesne of great beauty, which extends above two miles in length, and a mile and an half in breadth, on the North side of the Liffey. The Corporation of this City consists of a Lord Mayor, Recorder, 24 Aldermen (all of whom are Justices of the Peace), two Sheriffs, a Common Council, and other Officers. It is almost needless to say, that most branches of commerce and every kind of trade are exercised in Dublin, and that the city is daily advancing in wealth and industry. The first mention, which we find of the See of Dublin, is in the Seventh century. In the year 1 152 it was erected into an Archbishoprick, which is valued in the King's Books at £534,.. 15..%% Irish Money : And, in 1£14, the Bishoprick of Glandelagh, which had been founded in the Sixth century, was incorporated with Dublin.
