| | Lewis: Co. Londonderry |
 | | bounded on the south and south-west by the county of Tyrone; on the west by that of Donegal; on the north west by Lough Foyle; on the north, by the Atlantic Ocean; and on the east, by the county of Antrim. |
 | | Of its civil jurisdiction it is remarkable that, like the county of Middlesex, its sheriffs are those elected by the citizens of its capital, who serve for the whole, excepting the liberties of Coleraine: the town-clerk of Londonderry, also, is the clerk of the peace for the county at large. |
 | | In form, the county approaches to an equilateral triangle: its greatest length is from the point of Magilligan, at the mouth of Lough Foyle, nearly southward, to the vicinity of Coagh, a distance of 32½ miles. |
