What you’re looking at
This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a travel narrative or guidebook section titled "A Month's Tour." The text describes monuments and notable burials within St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, including the busts of Dean Swift and Mrs. Johnson (Stella), a monument to Dr. Smith featuring Egyptian marble pillars, and a large Gothic monument to Sir Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, who died in 1629. The passage concludes by noting the pleasant view of Dublin and surrounding countryside from the top of St. Patrick's steeple.
