Excerpt from The Irish Question In the summer of 1881 I went to Ireland in order to study the questions that were causing so much violent agitation there. I had followed the course of the Irish troubles with close interest, but was anxious to take a nearer view of them and to study them on the ground and among the people themselves. I visited some of the wildest and poorest parts of the country, and jaunting-car rides through Cork, Kerry and Galway enabled me to see a great deal of the poverty and distress of many of the people of those counties, to observe their holdings and houses and modes of living, and to talk familiarly with all classes. I then turned to some of the more prosperous regions, including Limerick and its vicinity, and going North through Clare, I visited Ulster, which seems like a different country from the rest of Ireland. I did not, of course, neglect to visit Londonderry, Belfast, Dublin and other centres of business activity. In 1882 I again went to Ireland and revisited a number of important places.
