Excerpt from The Salmon Rivers of Ireland, Vol. 1
My readers must not take up these books in the hope of whiling away spare time in the perusal of racy stories of Irish wit and repartee, for there is not a "Begorrah yer anner" in the whole of them, I have perforce stuck strictly to business, for to have related even one half the quaint, funny speeches and amusing stories that have been told me must either have doubled the size of these books or entirely swamped the avowedly fishy intention with which they have been written. Also I have had qualms of telling stories which, though new to me, have perhaps already been often and better told by others before me.
Neither have I recommended hotels.
