Off the coast of Mayo, across Clew Bay, and within sight of Croagh Patrick, is that bold and naked island, interesting, because it has thrown out its headlands so far into the Atlantic, because its heights command such extensive views of the sinuous coast, but, above all, for the Protestant Mission which is planted on its northern shore. With this sphere of missionary labour I must make my readers acquainted. At the northwest...
