Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Land and Liberty It seems that an Irishman writing for the public on a matter of social politics is expected to be more mindful of British opinion than of his subject. Why should people trouble themselves reading what he has to say unless he omits unpleasant truths and says only what pleases them, when they can find more interesting matter in "Three Days on a Jaunting Car," by Mr. Tourist or Mr. Journalist, who knows everything so much better? These gentlemen are free from our miserable limitations of truth, and have the inestimable advantage of blank minds, being in some matters not prejudiced but securely ensconced beyond the reach of fact, and determined, so far as they are determined about anything, to learn only what they like and state only what pleases their readers. Then, too, many of the readers who prefer fiction to truth in relation to Ireland would not care, and some of them would be distinctly pleased if Ireland and all her people and concerns were sunk in the Atlantic Ocean. If the truth may be told without offence, this book is written by one who does not wish it to fall into the hands of any such people. It might displease them; and although that is no part of its purpose, the degree in which it displeased them might be a measure of its correctness.
