Description
Excerpt from Sketches in Erris and Tyrawly: With a Map and Other Illustration
The Volume I now offer to the public is, in a measure, a continuation of my Tour in Connaught, and a fulfilment of an engage ment to my publishers to supply them with a description of Erris. And here I am free to acknowledge, that, being obliged to make my tour at a certain period of the year, I for two successive seasons found the weather so unfavourable as to preclude me from going as far as I proposed, or observing what, imder other circumstances, might have been within my Scope. This statement, if it be an apology for not writing a larger work, may be acceptable enough to those who must read; and it at any rate affords me an opportunity of offering a friendly hint to those who would travel namely, avoid our Far West in the autumn, for then Mackintosh himself cannot provide you with appliances and means to keep you dry and comfortable. No; the month of June is the tourist's time for Connaught, for then is his best and, indeed I may say.
