Observations on the Character, Customs, and Superstitions of the Irish: And on Some of the Causes Which Have Retarded the Moral and Political Improvement of Ireland

Excerpt from Observations on the Character, Customs, and Superstitions of the Irish: And on Some of the Causes Which Have Retarded the Moral and Political Improvement of Ireland

On some of the subjects considered in the following pages, men, equally wise and good, think very differently: I presume, however, that there can be but one opinion entertained respecting other topics brought under review. The expediency and necessity of bestowing immediate attention on the general improvement of Ireland, are points which scarcely admit of any contrariety of sentiment; though it is not to be supposed that the same unanimity will prevail in judging of the means by which this important object is to be accomplished.
