Excerpt from Realities of Irish Life
First. My tales are of real life. Many of the inci dents described therein have been told in various forms, often very incorrectly, in the newspapers and journals of the day. My desire has been to give a clear and truthful account of occurrences which virulent party spirit or local prejudices have placed before the public, distorted through a false medium. I have endeavored calmly and dispassionately to relate the facts as I believe them to have occurred, and in most cases as I know them to have happened to myself in person. From this latter cause has arisen a more frequent use of the first person singular than I should otherwise have desired; but under the circumstances, this could not be avoided.
