Disturbed Ireland: Being the Letters Written During the Winter of 1880-81 (Classic Reprint)

Having been most cordially granted permission to republish these letters in a collected form, it is my duty to mention that my mission from the Daily Neics was absolutely unfettered, either by instructions or introductions. It was thought that an independent and impartial account of the present condition of the disturbed districts of I reland would be best secured by sending thither a writer without either I rish politics or I rish friends in short, one who might occupy the stand-point of the too-often(uoted intelligent foreigner. Hence my little book is purely descriptive of the stirring scenes and deeply interesting people I have met with on my way through the counties of Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork, and Keny. It is neither a political treatise, nora dissertation on the tenure of land, but a plain record of my experience of a strange phase of national life.
