a county of Ireland, 25 miles in length, and 16 in breadth, bounded on the east and south by West-Meath, on the north and north-west by Leitrim and Cavan, and on the west by the river Shannon. It contains upwards of 5000 houses, 24 parishes, 6 baronies, 4 boroughs, and sends 10 members to parliament. It is a small, but rich and pleasant country, and the principal town is of the same name.

LONG-ISLAND, is an island of North America, in the colony of New-York, which is separated from the continent by a narrow channel; and is about 100 miles in length, and 12 in breadth, containing Queen's-county, Suffolk-county, and Richmond-county. There is a fine plain in the middle of the island, called Salisbury plain, on which they have horse-races; and gentlemen come to it from the neighbouring parts, as those in England do to New-Market. The produce of this island is chiefly provisions for the mouth, such as wheat, Indian-corn, salt-beef, pork, fish, and strong-beer, which they send to the Caribbee Islands; and, in lieu of them, receive sugar, rum, cotton, and indigo.
