BOYLE ABBEY 254

Not much known to the general public--Its limpid river--

Rivers of muddy water an abomination--Irish rivers

generally clear--Extraordinarily luxuriant growth of ivy on

the ruins; their effect marred by the erection of a new

building close to them--Vandalism in Ireland--Ancient name

of Boyle--History of its monastery--Loch Key; the burning

of its _cranniog_--Loch Arrow.
