There are few cities of the same proportionate size that exhibit so uniform, handsome, and complete an appearance as D. The streets are clean, wide, and spacious.

The city has the form of an elongated square or parallelogram, and is surrounded by a road of more than nine miles in circuit. Among the public buildings, the first in antiquity, as in importance, is the royal or official residence, called the Castle , -a structure dating its erection from the beginning of the 13th century.

Opposite the park, with its palatial lodge, and on the south of the Liffey, is the celebrated Kilmainham Hospital, the "Chelsea " of Ireland. Nine bridges, seven of stone and two of iron, of different sizes and architectural attraction, span the silvery Liffey; but though it must be confe ed that D. presents to the notice of the visitor a finer city and more magnificent monuments of national and private taste than most cities of Europe generally, and offers a coup d'œil of cleanline , order, and prosperity, not generally to be met with in any town approaching to such a size and population, yet D. , like London, has its leprous spots, its filth, penury, and vice, and which Fig . 880.-ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL, (Dublin.) appear more loathsome from the beauty and order around, and to which dirt and poverty clings like a reproachful fester.
