Excerpt from The Irish Question
Everywhere I found the people very polite and court eons. Clergymen, landlords, tenants, laborers and busi ness men - representatives of all classes - talked freely of the troubles that were agitating the country. In some instances I have allowed these men to speak in these pages; in others have given their views in my own language.
I desire to acknowledge the special courtesy shown me by Mr. Commissioner Vernon, who explained the practical working of the Land Act and gave me much valuable information besides; by Mr. H. A. Robinson, Local Government Inspector of Mayo and Galway, whose intimate knowledge of and sympathy with the poor people of those counties made his conversation extremely interesting and profitable; and by-dr. Neil son Hancock, whose familiarity with the statistics of Ireland is well known.
The debates on Irish affairs in the House of Commons, which I was enabled through the kindness of Dr. Lyon Playfair to hear regularly while in London, gave me an excellent opportunity for studying the characteristics and relations of the men who have taken a leading part in these discussions; and I saw' their tactics in vigorous operation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and longstanding issue of land ownership and its impact on the people of Ireland. The author, who travelled extensively throughout the country in the 1880s, provides a detailed and insightful examination of the Irish land system, exploring the historical roots of the problem and the social and economic consequences of its unequal distribution. The book traces the evolution of land ownership from the ancient Celtic tribal system to the English land laws implemented during the period of colonization. The author examines the role of landlords, both resident and absentee, and explores the various methods of land tenure including tenancies at will, leases, and middlemen. He sheds light on the plight of Irish tenants, their struggles with poverty, indebtedness, and the fear of eviction, and examines the various forms of resistance that arose in response to the oppressive land system. The author also explores the political and social context of the Irish land question, including the rise of tenant rights movements and the emergence of powerful figures like Charles Stewart Parnell. He delves into the dynamics of the Irish Land League, a crucial organization that spearheaded the fight for tenant rights during this turbulent period, and the impact of the Land Acts of 1870 and 1881 on the lives of ordinary Irish people. The book offers a valuable perspective on the complex interplay of historical, social, and economic factors that contributed to the Irish land question.
