Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ... Cappoquin; and as far as that place, runs along the left bank of the Blackwater, and discloses at every bend, new and striking beauties. Cappoquin, prettily situated, just at the turn of the river, is' rather a clean little village, consisting of one street, which, at the upper end, degenerates into a suburb of cabins. Beyond this, the road climbs up the side of a deep wooded dell; and gradually rises, until it leaves cultivation behind, and enters upon the moor and bog land, which stretches over all the neighbouring mountains; and upon this upland slope, is situated the Trappist establishment, which has a singular effect seen at a distance, --apart from all other buildings, --itself of immense magnitude, and seemingly placed in the midst of a desert. It is riot yet two years, since the Trappists settled in this neighbourhood; and (thanks to the superstitions of the country people) the progress they have made in building the convent, as well as in reclaiming the land, is indeed miraculous. Sir Richard Keane, a large landowner in this neighbourhood, granted them, rent free, on a lease of a hundred years, five hundred and seventy odd acres of moor and bog land; and Sir Richard is likely to be amply repaid for his liberality, in the proof which has been afforded of the capabilities of the land. The very first year, a fine crop of potatos was raised. At present, upwards of sixty acres are under tillage; and on some of these acres, I saw as luxuriant crops of oats as I had seen in any other part of the country. In the extensive garden, too, which the Trappists have formed, I observed as fine beans, pease, and other vegetables, as could possibly be raised on any soil. All this has been accomplished by the agency of lime kilns. The land is boggy.
