Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland´s Welcome to the Stranger: Or an Excursion Through Ireland, in 1844& 1845, for the Purpose of Personally Investigating the Condition of the Poor A preface is like a porter at the entrance of a castle or a dinner-party; however necessary his attendance may be, and however dazzling his livery, he can expect but a hasty brush from the passers in; it is the castle they want to see, it is the dinner they have come to eat. Knowing, however, that every public act demands a public explanation, I give my candid reasons for doing so strange a work, and for doing it in so strange a way. We have had many "Pencillings by the Way," and "Conciliation Halls," and "Killarney Lakes" from the tops of coaches and from smoking dinner tables. But one day´s walk on mountain or bog, one night´s lodging where the pig, and the ass, and horned oxen feed, "Like Aaron´s serpent, swallows all the rest." "Remember, my children," said my father, "that the Irish are a suffering people; and when they come to your doors, never send them empty away." It was in the garrets and cellars of New York that I first became acquainted with the Irish peasantry, and it was there I saw they were a suffering people.
