Excerpt from Irish History Reader The climate of Ireland is mild and healthful. The prevailing winds are from the west and south west, and the average rainfall reaches nearly forty inches. The soil is so fertile, that it is capable of, producing the necessaries of life for a very much larger population than its present one of Owing to the general humidity of the atmosphere the fields are ever green, hence the country is often styled the Emerald Isle. Most of the mountains are Situated along the coast, the highest being in the west and south. From the mountains many rivers, most of them short and rapid, flow in various directions to the sea, and some Slower, longer, and of greater volume, draw Off the surplus waters of the lakes. Internal navigation, however, is hindered by falls and rapids. Over acres of bog form a dreary feature of the central plain. The western sea coast, broken up by the force of the Atlantic, is formed into hundreds of bays and creeks, many running far inland; but in some parts, as at the Cliffs of Moher in Clare County, the coast presents for miles an unbroken front of rock to the ceaseless fury of the waves.
