First sentence: IF any one, tired with the monotonous regularity of a more civilized existence, should desire to plunge at once into another scene, and take refuge from ennui in that stirring complexity of feeling produced by a series of images, solemn, pathetic, ludicrous, and loathsome, each crossing each in rapid and endless succession, I would recommend to him to attend one of the periodical progresses of Irish law through the interior of that, anomalous country; and more particularly through one of the southern districts, which, out of deference to Captain Rock, I have selected as the scene of the present sketch.
