Excerpt from Guide to the Lakes of Killarney: Illustrated by Engravings, After the Designs of George Petrie, Esq. If a traveller look westward from Cape Clear, he may obtain an unimpeded prospect, for fifty miles along a steep and ironbound range of coast, equally imposing for its bold promontories, and for the deep and landlocked bays which stretch far within their mountainous and craggy ranges. Of these latter, four are more remarkable - Baltimore, Dunmanus, and Bantry bays, and Kenmare river, which lie beyond each other westward, in the order of our enumeration. Nearly northward of the last, at the distance of eleven miles, lies Killarney, with all its well-known wonders, thus forming a small angle of this vast mountain country, which nature, regardless of our territorial demarcations, has made one in beauty and scenic magnificence. A new line of road, yet in the progress of formation, will unite the several parts of this, and disclose to the tourist a region of natural beauty, which may, in a manner, be called hitherto unknown.
