About This Book

A first-person pamphlet of travel-soaked observations and street scenes that documents the destitution of rural and urban poor, with particular attention to the Irish peasantry. The narrator confronts common prejudices, records domestic misery and mourning rituals, and contrasts affluent comforts with working-class privation. Personal anecdotes and local investigation underpin practical and moral appeals for relief, social measures, and a program of regeneration to improve living conditions.
