Volume 10 · 159 words · 1797 Edition

a manor, and also a borough town in the county of Cork, and province of Munster in Ireland, above 118 miles from Dublin. It was incorporated by charter in 1688, and sends two members to parliament. It is pleasantly situated on the north bank of the Blackwater, over which there is an excellent stone-bridge. Here is also a good church, a market house, and barracks for a troop of horse. 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 kingdom, which brings a resort of good company there frequently in the summer months, and has caused it to be called the Irish Bath. Mallow is a post town, and has five fairs.
