Sketches from Ireland: Sligo House, Westport, Mayo, 1870. 'The Marquis of Sligo, or rather his brother, Lord John Browne, inhabits the handsome Italian mansion in the midst of that charming park into which one passes out of the very streets of Westport, and where wood and water and gently undulating slopes of verdure combine to produce one of those scenes of beauty which are joys for ever. Lord John Browne dwells in the house of the Marquis and exercises sway over I know not how many square miles of territory in the neighbourhood. At one time, I believe, all the land between Newport and the borders of the county of Galway, upwards of thirty English miles, was the Marquis's fee simple'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
