Excerpt from The Reminiscences of an Irish Land Agent: Being Those of S. M. HusseyThe reason for this lies in the fact that though Mr. Hussey has for two generations been one of the most noted racon teurs in Ireland, he has never been addicted to writing, and for that reason has always declined to arrange his memoirs, though several times approached by publishers and strongly urged to do so by his friends, notably Mr. Fraude and Mr. John Bright. If his reminiscences are to be at all characteristic they must be conversational, and it is as a talker that he himself at length consents to appear in print.In this volume he endeavours to supply some view of his own country as it has impressed itself on 'the most abused man in Ireland, ' as Lord James of Hereford charac terised Mr. Hussey. How little practical effect several attacks on his life and scores of threatening letters have had on him is shown by the fact that he survives at the age of eighty to express the wish that his recollections may open the eyes of many as well as prove diverting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
