Excerpt from Journey Throughout Ireland: During the Spring, Summer, and Autumn of 1834It is evident, that upon all matters touching the social con dition of the people, opinions may be corrected and estimated by personal observation: and although in journeying through Ireland one finds abundant cause for astonishment in the widely varying opinions and contradictory assertions upon every subject connected with the country and the people, I vet believe that truth may be come at by any one who will take pains to seek it out, and who comes to the search with an unbiassed mind - and before entering upon my journey. I would only add, that I lav claim to this distinction. I have no purpose to serve, no party to please, no interest to consult. I am in every sense unfettered. To be dishonest, therefore. Would be an injury to myself and this is, to the public, the Lest guarantee for truth.Esau on a fine spring morning, I crossed the bay of Dublin, and entered Kingston harbour a little after sunrise. The bay of Dublin has been so often described, that it needs neither description nor eulogy from me. I will only observe. That if it be deficient in some of those attractions which characterise the rival bays of more southern climes, it will yield to none, in the extent and depth of its arch, or in the form and character of its mountain boundaries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
