Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Letters From the Kingdom of in the Year 1845 The reader must not expect to find, in the following pages, any reference to the present distressed state of those parts of Ireland which they attempt to describe. When I concluded these letters, it was far from entering into my mind that such aggravation of their poverty and misery impended over the primitive people I had so recently visited. When we turned from their mountain land, their wants were many and their privations great; we deemed them sunk in the lowest depth of poverty. Alas I lower deeps still were to be fathomed by them. The potato-crop was blighted; their staff of life was destroyed, and we now behold the awful result. My heart sinks within me as I picture their present situation, encompassed by their desolate mountains, buried in their barren wilds. What have they now to barter? what can they offer for the bare means of subsistence? and even if they were able to purchase, where can they procure the food? Famine, Disease, and Death stalk through the country, and how can the means of life be carried in sufficient quantities into those rugged and dreary wastes? Meanwhile, thousands upon thousands are being swept off the face of the earth. May God in his infinite mercy relieve the sorrows of my stricken country!
