# Page Description This is a page of running prose text from what appears to be a travel narrative or memoir titled "A Month's Tour." The visible text describes the author's activities in Dublin, Ireland, including attendance at evening service at St. Patrick's Cathedral and a day trip to Harlem (about four miles west of Dublin) to visit bleaching mills. The narrator and companions traveled by coach, took breakfast, toured the industrial facilities, and returned to dine in Dublin. Several names are partially redacted with dashes, a common practice in Victorian-era publications.
