MALLOW, a manor, and also a borough town in
the county of Cork, and province of Munster, in Ire-
land, above 118 miles from Dublin, pleasantly situated
on the north bank of the Blackwater, over which there
is an excellent stone bridge. Not far distant is a fine
spring of a moderately tepid water, which bursts out
of the bottom of a fine limestone rock, and approaches
the nearest in all its qualities to the hot-well waters of
Bristol of any that has been yet discovered in this king-
dom, which brings a resort of good company there fre-
quently in the summer months, and has caused it to be
called the Irish Bath.
