IrishMiles: 810

N.B. 8.25 Irish miles, by the ratio of 11, to 14, make 1050 English miles; and the above 810 Irish Miles, will make a little more than 1030, English measure; but in travelling through the country, the difference between the length of miles, and the reputed distances between the stages, is very palpable, and often very severely felt.
