Sketches in Ireland - Kilkenny, 1845. 'The first object that strikes the visitor on entering Kilkenny is its famous Castle, the ancient and present seat of "the Ormonds," standing on a small hill that overlooks the river Nore...From the turrets of the Castle, there is a striking view of Kilkenny, and a magnificent prospect of the winding Nore and the fertile valley through which it flows...The Kilkenny coal gives no smoke; there are few bogs in the vicinity; the streets are literally paved with black marble; and fogs are very rare...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
