# Page Description This is a page of running prose from "A Month's Tour," page 3 of the text. The narrator describes a walking tour of Stephen's Green in Dublin, noting its gravel paths, trees, and an equestrian statue of King George the Second at its center. The passage then shifts to recount events of the twenty-fourth, when the travelers breakfasted at the Old Exchange coffee-house, visited acquaintances (names redacted as "Mr. Mrs. and Mifs P——"), and proceeded to St. Patrick's cathedral, which the text describes as "an ancient venerable edifice."
