Generic character: calyx five-cleft, base membrana. ceous; corolla funnel-shaped; stamens springing from the tube; stigma three-cleft; capsule superior, threecelled, three-valved; seeds angular.

Two species, natives of North America. IPS, in Zoology, a genus of Pentamerous, Coleopterous insects, belonging to the family Dermestidæ.

Generic character. Elytra truncated; tarsi of long slender joints; rings of the antennæ slender; extremity of the abdomen naked. This genus has been very much contracted by the number of changes which its name has undergone.

The type of the genus, according to Latreille, is Ips cellaris of Olivier, Entomol., pl. i. fig. 3. a. b.; the Dermestis cellaris of Scopoli; the Cryptophagus cellaris of Paykuhl; and the Dermestis fungorum of Panzer, pl. xxxix. fig. 14. Of a very small size, and common near London, and in other parts of Europe.

IPSWICH, the chief town of the County of Suffolk, and a Borough, stands, with almost a semicircular sweep, on an easy descent, with a Southern aspect, to the river Orwell. It is well sheltered by hills to the North and East, and the soil is dry and gravelly. The modern name is a corruption from Gyppeswik, Gyppeswiz, Gyppewicus, or Gyppewic, according to each of which forms it is written in Domesday Book, and is derived from the position of the town at the conflux of the Gippen with the Orwell. As early as the Xth century it was protected by a ditch and rampart, which were twice broken down by the Danes in A. D. 991 and 1000. In the fifth year of King John these fortifications were restored, and their line may even now be very easily traced. They were entered by five gates, one at each principal point of the compass, and the fifth the Lose-gate, on a ford of the Orwell. The first Charter, conferring very important privileges, was granted by John; among these were an exemption from tholl, lestage, stallage, passage, pontage, and all other customs, throughout land and seaports, still enjoyed by shipmasters who are freemen of the town; and the right of having a guild and hanse

of their own. These privileges were twice suspended, IPSWICH.
first in 13 Edward I., and again in 18 Edward III.;
but in each case they were restored; and they were
afterwards increased by Henry VI., Edward IV., and
Charles II. The Corporation, as it now exists, com-
prises two Bailiffs, a High Steward, a Recorder, twelve
Portmen, of whom four are Justices of the Peace, a
Town Clerk, twenty-four Chief Constables, two of whom
are Coroners, and the twelve seniors Headboroughs, a
Treasurer, and two Chamberlains. Their adiniralty
jurisdiction extends down the river, and embraces the
coast of Essex from Harwich to Languard Fort. Since
the 25th Henry VI. the Borough has returned two
members to Parliament.

5. St.

The streets, as in most old towns, are narrow and irregular, and many of the houses present very curious vestiges of antiquity in their architecture. Nine churches are mentioned in Domesday Book; twenty-one are said to have existed at a later date; at present there are twelve. 1. St. Clement's, comprising the hamlet of Wykes, and now incorporated with, 2. St. Helen's. In St. Clement's Church is a tablet to Thomas Eldred, one of the adventurers who accompanied Cavendish in his circumnavigation of the Globe. 3. St. Lawrence's. 4. St. Margaret's, within which Parish is the small Park and domain of Christ Church, forming an agreeable promenade for the inhabitants of the town. Mary's at Elms, opposite to which Church stand Almshouses for twelve poor women, endowed during the last century by Mrs. Ann Smyth. 6. St. Mary's at Kay, Northward of which a part of the remains of a Dominican Friary is now occupied as an Hospital for the board and education of poor boys; another portion of the monastic house was long used as a Sessions House and Bridewell; and one room is employed as a Town Library. The cloysters are entire; and the Refectory is appropriated to a Free Grammar School; from which six Scholars and one Fellow are maintained at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. The rest of this extensive Ecclesiastical building is inhabited by a number of poor persons, sometimes amounting to eighty, on a benevolent institution founded in 1551 by Mr. Henry Tooley, a portman of the town. The modern Custom-House and the remains of a Cistertian Priory stand in this Parish. 7. St. Mary's at Stoke. 8. St. Mary's at Tower, in which Parish is the House (Place or Palace) of the Archdeacon of Suffolk, originally erected in 1471. 9. St. Matthew's, which Parish once contained the Churches or Chapels of All Saints, St. Mildred's, St. Mary's, and St. George's. In the last named, which is now converted into a barn, Bilney, one of the Martyrs during the Marian Persecution, was apprehended while preaching. Northward of it stood a Castle, on a hill still bearing that name, though the fortress itself was demolished in the reign of Henry II. Part of St. Mildred's Church has been converted into a Town Hall, contiguous to which is a spacious Council Chamber, built over the Kitchen formerly used for the Guild Feasts. St. Mary's Chapel was celebrated before the Reformation for an Image of the Virgin, commemorated in the iijd part of the Homily against Peril of Idolatry, as "our Lady of Ipswich." 10.

Besides this there was in the same Parish a Convent of Carmelites, part of which, as late as the beginning of the 11. St. last century, was used as a County Gaol. Peter's, the estate of the Priory of St. Peter and St. Paul within which Parish was converted by Wolsey, after its suppression, to the use of the College which he founded in the 20th Henry VIII. Of this magnificent establishment no vestige now remains but the gate on the East side of St. Peter's Churchyard, and the first stone, which, with its inscription commemorative of its having been laid by Longland, Bishop of Lincoln, is now fixed in a malthouse, formerly a part of the College. The gate is of brick, with a stone tablet bearing the Royal Arms; it now leads to a private house. In the Church is a font of great antiquity; and within the Parish stood Lord Curson's House, granted by Edward VI. to the Bishop of Norwich, and afterwards used as the King's Hospital for seamen during the Dutch wars. It is believed to have been the house appointed by Henry VIII. for the suffragan Bishop of Ipswich (the 12. St. first and last) who was consecrated in 1525. Stephen's, within which Parish, on the site of the present Coach and Horses Inn, stood a mansion belonging to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk; and next door to it, at the Tankard, are some very curious remains, particularly in the carvings of a room on the ground-floor of a house of Sir Anthony Wingfield, Vice Chamberlain, and one of the executors of Henry VIII. A spacious Market-place, in the centre of which is a Cross, and adjacent to it an enclosed cattle-market, a County Gaol, a Town Gaol, a House of Correction, an iron bridge connecting the town with its suburb of Stoke, and Barracks, beyond which is a Race-course, used annually in July, are the remaining public buildings. Broad cloth, and the best canvass for sail-cloth, known as Ipswich double, continued to form the chief manufactures of the town till the middle of the XVIIth century, when the wool-trade entirely declined. At present, malting and corn furnish the principal traffic; much yarn is also spun for the Norwich weavers. There are two yards for ship-building, and the port, though nearly dry at ebb, has more than twelve feet water when the tide returns. Passage-boats sail and return every tide from Ipswich to Harwich, and back again, through the beauPopulation, tiful scenery on the banks of the Orwell. in 1821, 17,186.

IRELAND

Ancient
Maps.

Name.

IRELAND, the second in size of the British Islands, is situated between 5° 20′ and 10° 30′ West longitude, and between 51° 12′ and 55° 20' North latitude. The superficial extent of the Island has not yet been ascertained with scientific precision. Pinkerton assigns it an area of 27,451 square miles, which is generally believed to be much below the truth. In Lapie's Map the measurement is 28,041 square miles. Some writers have taken 30,370 square miles, or 19,360,000 acres, as the most likely estimate; and, finally, Wakefield extends this to 32,201 square miles, or 20,437,974 English acres. From a passage in Pliny* it may be concluded that a Map of Ireland was contained among the topographical collections made in the reign of Augustus; but the oldest Map of the Country now extant is that of Ptolemy. The next in point of antiquity is a Roman Map of the Vth century. This Map was discovered by Richard of Cirencester, who states that he travelled into Italy, and there transcribed an ancient Itinerary, in which it was included. It was published at Copenhagen in 1758. This Map is not so accurate as Ptolemy's, but is valuable as an evidence of the acquaintance which the Romans had with Ireland in the Vth century. It also ascertains the fact that the people called Scots and Attacots were theu known to the Romans as inbabiting the interior regions of that Island.

There is reason to believe that the natives were not without Maps and surveys of the Island. The survey of Finton, an Irish writer anterior to the VIIIth century, is referred to by later authors in a way which seems to indicate the existence of a Map. Speed's general Map of Ireland is recommended to the reader by the six portraits with which he is there presented; these are, 1. a wild Irishman and woman; 2. a pair of civil or tame natives; and 3. a gentleman and lady; all in their native costume.

The name Ireland probably signifies West land. The name by which it was first known to the Greeks, 'Iépvis, (Orph. Argon.) or'lépvŋ, (Aristotle, de Mundo,) Iernis, or Ierne, evidently signifies in Gaelic, Western Island. The name Iris, given to it by Diodorus Siculus, appears to have been of later invention, and was, perhaps, but an abbreviation of the.former. The 'leepvía of Ptolemy, the Juverne of Mela, and the Hibernia of other writers, are obviously but dialectic modifications of Iernis, ier or Ayr-inis, the Western Island. It has been supposed from the mention made of Iernis in the Orphic Argo

Lib. iv. c. 16. sec. 30. It appears from another passage in the same author, (lib. iii. c. 1. sec. 3.) that Agrippa had collected the materials of a complete Map of the Roman Empire, (or even of the whole world, cum orbem terrarum orbi spectandum propositurus esset,) that is to say, that he had collected descriptions of the Provinces in which distances were carefully stated in order to the determination of local positions. If a description of Ireland was in Agrippa's collection, as may be inferred from the first passage of Pliny referred to above, may we not also conclude that it was a description made in conformity with the design of Agrippa; or, in other words, that it contained the materials of a Map? The remarkable fulness of the Map of Ptolemy, who wrote about half a century later than Pliny, vouches for the existence of a topographical collection made by the Roman Government. It is of no use to say that Ptolemy copied Marinus Tyrius, (Brehmer, Entdeckungen. Lub. 1822,) for the latter Geographer must also have had his authorities. But there is a unity in the Map of Ptolemy, a fidelity in reporting the Celtic, Scandinavian, and Indian names, which shows that his Work was not merely compiled from the Itineraries of merchants, but that it had for its basis digested topographical data, collected by public authority, and on a large scale.

nautics, that Ireland was known to the Greeks at a very IRELAND early Age, and before they were acquainted with Great Britain; it has also been concluded that they obtained their first knowledge of it from the Phoenicians. But setting aside the arguments against the antiquity of the Argonautics ascribed to Orpheus, it may be observed that the plural of Iernis, or Iernides, occurs also in that Poem; that the meaning of the expression Western Island or Islands, shows clearly that it was learned from the Celtic inhabitants of the opposite continent; and that it is in the highest degree improbable that Gaelic words should have passed from the Phoenicians to the Greeks with so little mutilation as those of the British Islands. It is remarkable that Pytheas of Marseilles, the earliest yoyager in the West of whom we possess any correct details, makes no mention of Ireland, though he pretended to have learned the circumnavigation of England, to which he gives its proper appellation of Alfionn. Nor is Ireland ever mentioned by an ancient writer under any name but the foreign and descriptive one of Iernis, the Western Island. The Mictis of Timæus, indeed, an Island situated six days' sail within Britain, (intra Britanniam, Pliny,) may have been Ireland, called by the natives Muic inis; but this conjecture rests on a very slender foundation.

Ireland is generally speaking a level country. The Surface. central portion, extending from Dublin Westward to some distance beyond the Shannon, Northward to the confines of the Counties of Down and Fermanagh, and Southward into the County of Tipperary, is one great plain, broken only by a few insulated hills of inconsiderable elevation. Much of this plain, comprising all the districts through which the great bog of Allen ramifies, has to the eye the appearance of being a dead flat.

On the West this plain is terminated by the irregular Western mountain ranges of the Counties of Mayo and Galway, mountains. which form a great barrier towards the Atlantic Ocean. These mountains present in many places, in Galway particularly, a dreary prospect of naked rocks; in the Northern and loftier part of the chain, the heights are covered with coarse herbage or extensive turbaries. The highest of these mountains are,

Croagh Patrick, from its erect pyramidal form, its insularity, and its commanding position, immediately above Clew Ray, is a beautiful and conspicuous object both from sea and land.

Towards the South and East of the central plain, the Wicklow first mountains which occur are those of the County of mountains, Wicklow. These rise abruptly, a few miles on the South of Dublin, to the height of about 1500 feet; and spread through nearly the whole of the County of Wicklow. Lug na Quilla, the highest summit of the chain, does not exceed 2100 feet in elevation. mountains are in general composed of granitic rocks, presenting to view much unsightly bog and very little fertile soil. On the Eastern side, however, where they descend to the sea, the valleys, watered by numerous rills and skreened from the severity of the Westerly

This luxuriance, added to the pleasing diversity of the surface and the view of mountains at a little distance, constitutes the principal charm of the Wicklow scenery. But Dean Swift was justified in saying that the County of Wicklow resembled a frieze coat with a border of gold lace. From this County, a ridge of mountains runs Southward about twenty miles, so as to form a boundary between the Counties of Wexford and Carlow. This ridge is divided by Scolla-gap into two parts, viz. Black stairs and Mount Leinster. This latter mountain, with its seven lateral valleys, its rich herbage spreading into broad meadows, at the height of at least 2000 feet above the sea, and the river Slaney winding round its base, forms a beautiful feature in the landscape of one of the most agreeable parts of Ireland.

Mount Leinster.

The Galtees.

Between the Counties of Limerick and Tipperary, and through this latter County, extends the chain of mountains called the Galtees. Their height is inconsiderable, and they are clothed with good pasture. The mountains of Kerry are the highest in Ireland, and form the greatest mass. Macgillicuddy's Reeks attain an elevation of 3690 feet. Mangerton, above the lake of Killarney, is not much inferior.

sea.

The mountains of Mourne, in the County of Down, mountains. hold the second rank with respect to height among the mountains of Ireland. Slieve Donard, in the centre of the group reaches the height of 2810 feet above the These mountains are distinctly visible from the vicinity of Dublin, at a distance of above seventy miles, during clear weather. The mountains of Donegal, overhanging the Atlantic, at the North-Western angle of Ireland, if not the highest of that country, are certainly among the most picturesque. Their summits are generally level, and their termination towards the Ocean abrupt and precipitous. Deep inlets or arms of the sea, stretching twenty or thirty miles inland, run between them. When this wild country is surveyed from a commanding height, as, for instance, from the top of Mammore, at the entrance of Lough Swilly, the sea and the land seem strangely commingled, and the rugged mountains, masses of perhaps 1500 or 2000 feet in height, appear like gigantic islets scattered through the Ocean.

Mineralogy.

Granite.

Granitic rocks form the basis of the mountains of Ireland. Granite occurs on the South side of the Bay of Dublin, perfectly white and fine grained, as also of a bright red colour. The Killiney hills, which stand so conspicuously at the entrance of the bay, are composed wholly of this rock. The great piers of Kingston harbour, enclosing a basin of above a mile square in extent, and in an average depth of eight fathoms, have been constructed of enormous blocks of granite, carried down from these hills (one of which has nearly disappeared in consequence of the works) by means of iron railways. In the County of Kilkenny, granite occupies the country between the Nore and Barrow, and is found of various shades, grey, red, and yellow. That which is raised from the quarries at Mount Loftus, ean be taken up in blocks of very great size, and may be wrought into any form by the chisel. Granite likewise predominates in the Mourne mountains and in those of Donegal. In the County of Kilkenny are hills of breccia, which run Southward from the Nore, and joining the hills above Knoctopher spread towards the South and the South-East. This rock is quarried for millstones, which are in much request. In the schistose hills of

the same County are extensive quarries of flags. Slate IRELAND. quarries are worked in many parts of Ireland. The most valuable and extensive slate district is situated on Lough Derg near the Shannon, at no great distance from Killaloe. The slates of this tract can be raised of a great size, and are as easily slit as those of Bangor, but do not keep their colour so well. The slate quarries which rank next in importance, are those of Valentia Island, in the County of Kerry. Limestone is so abundant in Ireland, that it is said Limestone. to occur in every County except Wicklow, Tyrone, and Antrim. Wakefield erroneously includes Wexford among the excepted Counties. Considered in its general disposition, it may be said to occupy the centre of the country from South to North. It begins at Lough Earne, and extends as far as the County of Cork. In an Eastern and Western direction it stretches uninterruptedly from Dublin to Galway. The limestone rock is in most cases near the surface; but it also forms the foundation of the deep bogs. Marble is met with of Marble. many varieties, and quarried at little expense. Green marble occurs in the County of Mayo, variegated marble in that of Cork, and black marble m those of Galway and Kilkenny. Some handsome edifices in the city of Kilkenny are constructed of this marble; among these the Roman Catholic Chapel, called the Black Abbey, in which the Irish Parliament was at one time assembled, makes the best appearance. The Cathedral Church, a much larger structure built with the same material, has been whitewashed.

In the North of Ireland, white limestone or compact chalk forms the foundation of the basalt which invariably rests upon it. When the chalk emerges, the basalt disappears, so that the high cliffs of Antrim and Londonderry present, towards the sea, a singular appearance; the black ranges of basalt and the cavernous cliffs of white limestone alternating at regular distances. Limestone is said to be the predominating mineral in two thirds of the whole country.

The coal strata of Ireland are distributed by Mr. Coal beds. Griffith into eight distinct fields. The first of these is at Fairhead, in the County of Antrim. This coal mine is worked by horizontal galleries opened from the cliffs on the sea side. It is of very little importance, not only on account of the inferior quality of the coal, but also from the want of a sheltered anchorage in its vicinity, for ships waiting for their freights. It deserves notice, however, from the curious circumstance, that in extending the excavations in the middle of the last century, large galleries were discovered in the interior, and baskets containing some workmen's tools. These, however, were so decayed from length of time, that they fell to pieces as soon as they were agitated. As the sea has made large encroachments on this coast within the memory of many living, these chambers were probably the remnants of very extensive excavations made in remote times.

The Tyrone coal-field lies immediately to the South of Lough Neagh; it does not extend above four miles in length, or two in breadth. The coal, which is of an open bituminous quality like that of Scotland, lies in nine beds, one of which is eleven, the remainder from five to three feet in thickness. The Fermanagh field lies immediately to the North of Lough Earne; it is found near the surface and has but little density. The Monaghan coal-district, to the West of Carrickmacross, is of a similar character.
