About This Book

A travelling correspondent presents a sequence of winter dispatches from western counties, documenting agrarian unrest, rent disputes, land meetings, evictions, and the growing use of social ostracism and boycotting. He provides on-the-ground sketches of episodes such as the relief of an isolated agent, character studies of tenants, landlords, and local leaders, and vivid scenes from Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork, and Kerry. The pieces combine reportage, anecdote, and reflective observation, highlighting how humour, fear, intimidation, and practical defence measures mingle with deeper economic and social tensions in rural life.

NEW BOOKS ON IRELAND.


NEW VIEWS ON IRELAND, OR IRISH LAND GRIEVANCES AND REMEDIES. By Charles Russell, Q.C., M.P. Crown 8vo, cloth. 2s. 6d.

"They should be studied by every one who desires to understand the existing crisis in Ireland."—Spectator.

"Mr. Russell has undoubtedly done his best by careful observation to arrive at the prevalent evils and their causes, and he has honestly and sincerely propounded his remedial scheme. His work is worthy of careful perusal."—Examiner.

THE LIFE'S WORK IN IRELAND OF A LANDLORD WHO TRIED TO DO HIS DUTY. By W. Bence Jones, of Lisselan. Crown 8vo. 6s.

"Mr. Bence Jones has written an interesting and instructive book, but not the least enlightening part of it is the preface. This is dated the 12th of December, 1880. He had just been threatened with 'Boycotting,' which he now undergoes."—St. James's Gazette.

"Mr. Bence Jones, every one must own, has a fair claim to be heard, and no one can be in a position properly to discuss Irish affairs till he has read his really valuable book."—Literary World.

THE IRISH LAND LAWS. By Alexander G. Richey, Q.C.; LL.D., Deputy Regius Professor of Feudal and English Law in the University of Dublin. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.

"To all who, either as legislators or publicists, are called on to take part in the present controversy, the book will prove invaluable. The relation of the work to the discussions which now occupy so much attention, is well expressed ... It would be difficult to find any series of legislative problems stated with greater clearness, sequence, and precision. We can recommend this little book to all who speak, write, or seriously think upon this question, in or out of Parliament."—Times.

"This book cannot fail to do good ... Mr. Richey writes throughout fairly, and in no partisan or controversial spirit, and his book is a contribution of great value to the discussion in which we now find ourselves involved."—St. James's Gazette.
