Well may Mrs. Hall speak in terms of dog
admiration of the beauty of the little is''(or
Innisfallen, in the Lower Lake of Killarner
if the sketch of it in the present Part be all tat
rate one, it must be one of the lovelies: s i
the traveller's eye ever rested on. The tpgr
monastery in the foreground, overrun witl:b);
side plants ; the gleaming waterS, e d
green, sunny hills, in the distance the 1 ipso'
capes and promontories
, here fringed with 10"
riant copses, and there sloping down to wen.ices
in flowery lawns ;—all these various objectscilespe
picturesque and cheerful beauty to the lau,,i(le
which may be equalled, but cannot poss:tili
surpassed. Of a far different character I,;tiot

with frowning rocks and precipices, WI bjeb
sected by a turbulent mountain stream, -„ditig

heights. It is difficult to conceive a inure,.,.. ob'
gloomy, solitary scene than this, where eYei.'

an engraving, the sketch deserves great P`,-. is 3

the Killarney- Lakes are full of spirit, auditt„;9ol

Irish peasant life, which no one relates with „u
