The next day my friends introduced me to Mr. R. Newenham112 and to Dr. Vize113. The former is a man of sense & taste and having a situation in the barrack office which has obliged him to travel about a great deal on the Irish coast he understands the geography of its shores better than any person I have met with. He showed me several drawings by Grogan whom I before mentioned as an Irish Artist & some of whose performances I had seen and admired at Cork. These drawings increased my respect for his talents. Dr. Vize is I believe the only botanist at Limerick — he seems well acquainted with the plants of the neighbourhood but has not found time from his professional duties to make any thing like a complete collection.
