Synopsis

Excerpt from A Tour Around the World: Being a Brief Sketch of the Most Interesting Sights Seen in Europe, Africa, Asia, and America, While on a Two Years' Ramble

Passing along the bogs one sees men and women busily engaged cutting turf - a species of black mud composed of decayed vegetable matter, which, after having been dried a month. Is used by the natives for fuel.

Continuing by stage, a distance of eleven miles, we reached Glengariff a Charming resort surrounded by high peaks and lovely lakes. The Climate here is delightfully mild; flowers bloom ing a month in advance of the season elsewhere.
