Saturday, July 10.--We rode to Kilkenny, one of the pleasantest and the most ancient
cities in the kingdom and not inferior to any at all in wickedness, or in hatred to this way.
I was therefore glad of a permission to preach in the Town Hall, where a small, serious
company attended in the evening. Sunday, 11. I went to the cathedral, one of the best built
which I have seen in Ireland.
The pillars are all of black marble; but the late Bishop ordered them to be whitewashed. Indeed, marble is so plentiful near this town that the very streets are paved with it.
