| WATER WORKS, CITY OF CORK.- This sketch shows the hill above the river Lee, on and along which are situated the excellent water work's buildings of the City of Cork. If, in many respects, Ireland, chiefly because of political excitement and social disasters, is backward of other countries less richly endowed by nature, she is wealthy, indeed, in her deep, clear and rapid rivers, her crystal lakes and her pellucid springs and streamlets. |
