Excerpt from Ireland: Picturesque and Romantic
It was the Author"s intention to have named this Work "Ireland and the Irish;" but, finding himself interdicted, for obvious reasons, from entering at large into various interesting topics, he contented himself with a less ambitious title. He hopes, notwithstanding, that from the present and following volume, there may be collected some notions of the country and the inhabitants, sufficiently distinct to serve at least as a ground-work for more important studies.
It is, perhaps, necessary to say at the outset - since Ireland is the theme - that the Author belongs to no political clique whatever.
