THE tourist who for the first time visits Ireland would do well to land at Dublin, that being the centre point of all the great tours throughout the country. The voyage across the Irish Channel from either of the ports above mentioned is generally attended with much of the disagreeable, as the turbulence of the sea there is not surpassed even by the dreaded straits of Dover. The shortest route, therefore, vid Holyhead, should always be adopted if possible. By this route Dublin can be reached in eleven hours from London, and eight hours from Manchester. The Holyhead packets land their passengers at Kingstown, only half an hour's distance from the Irish capital, while the Liverpool and Glasgow steamers go direct to the city. If the traveller, moreover, is not in haste, some interesting places can be visited on the road, such as Chester and the Britannia Bridge, by the Holyhead route; and the firth of Clyde by the steamers from Glasgow. Travelling in Ireland is not quite so expensive as in either of the sister kingdoms, and the railroads are so laid that extensive tours can be taken with great expedition. It is possible for a tourist to go through the length and breadth of the land in ten days, taking hasty views of the chief objects of interest; although at the same time he would find it much more pleasant to attempt less if his time is limited, and rather restrict himself to one part of the island at a time. It is with this consideration that the present work has been divided into four sections, which, though consecutive, are unique in themselves. General charges for Lunch, Tea, and Supper, are from 1/ to 2/6, according as parties order meat with their meals. ABSTRACT FROM THE DUBLIN POLICE CARRIAGE REGULATIONS.
