These pages attempt to make better known the large part of Ireland which is served by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, and while doing so to realise Shakespeare\‘s words: \ An honest tale speeds best being plainly told.\ If they succeed in these endeavours, they will satisfy the compiler. No inexorable route is insisted upon, but no suggestion is stinted which may help the tourist to enjoy fully the beautiful country he passes through - and a beautiful country it truly is, be it approached from Athlone, its north-western gate, by the Shannon, where, \ In the quiet watered land, the land of roses, Stands Saint Kieran\’s city fair, \ or from its south-western side, in the kingdom of Kerry, where the ocean leans against the mountains, and the storm-swept peak of Skellig Michael makes the most westerly citadel of Christ in the Old World! Everywhere within its broad borders, swift-rushing rivers, mirror-like lakes, and mountains tiaraed in the skies, delight the vision and gladden the heart. […] Reprint of the second edition of the guide to Ireland following the routes of the Great Southern and Western Railway.
