Excerpt from Tales and Sketches: Illustrating the Character, Usages, Traditions, Sports and Pastimes of the Irish Peasantry Many of the characters contained in the following volume have already ceased to exist, and are, conse quently, the property of history. Others are still in being; but ere long they, too, will have disappeared, and may probably be sought for in vain, save in the unassuming pages of the following volume. Nay, in connexion with this particular subject, there is, proba bly, something unparalleled in the annals of literature; for the author has reason to think that several of the originals, who sat for their portraits here presented, were the last of their class which the country will ever again produce - a fact calculated of itself to occasion an interest which a mere perusal of them could not give. In every instance the characters have been drawn from actual life; and, indeed, some of them, yet alive, have borne testimony to the fidelity of their likeness, as represented in the sketches where they first appeared. Nay, the very names, as well of the individuals as of the places, and the scenery described, are, with scarcely an exception, real.
