Excerpt from The Irish Crisis The time has not yet arrived at which any man can with confidence say, that he fully appreciates the nature and the bearings of that great event which will long be inse parably associated with the year just de parted. Yet we think that we may render some service to the public by attempting thus early to review, with the calm temper of a future generation, the history of the great Irish famine of 1847 Unless we are much deceived, posterity will trace up to that famine the commencement of a salutary revolution in the habits of a nation long singularly unfortunate, and will ac knowledge that on this, as on many other occasions, Supreme Wisdom has educed permanent good out of transient evil.

Excerpt from The Crisis in Ireland The political and social horizon to-day in Ireland is, at least for one class, and for the friends and sympathisers of that class, overcast and gloomy in the extreme. Yet dark and stormy as the outlook is now, it will be yet darker and stormier. A lull more apparent than real may at this moment pre vail, but the lull is only of thunder and of the noisy and innocuous wind; for, meanwhile, strong tides, which no force can stem, bear closer and ever closer to an iron-bound shore the little fleet in which are embarked the persons and fortunes of the Irish Landlords, and the many interests and hopes of which they are the centre. The mass meetings are at an end, the platform is silent, but the spirit of which they were the manifestationis here still unexorcised. The fierce oratory of the incipient revolution is no longer heard, or heard only in muttered curses and the rifle-shot at midnight; but the revolution goes its Own way, if silently, then with swifter steps, and breathing fuller strength.

Excerpt from The Irish Crisis of 1879-80: Proceedings of the Dublin Mansion House, Relief Committee, 1880 Long before the Mansion House Committee was formed, most Of the men who afterwards contributed to establish it foresaw that such a movement was famed Why? Inevitable. It was for three reasons deferred to the last moment to which it could be safely deferred. In the first place, the landlords having remitted (as is calculated) at least Of rents, and the traders having almost nowhere attempted to exact their accounts by force of law, the potato harvest, such as it was, might be trusted to keep the people alive until about the opening Of the new year, while a few weeks providential dry warmth in October turned a considerable portion of the sodden peat into fuel, and so to a great extent dissolved anxiety on that score. In the second place, the persistence with which in some quarters the harvest was still asserted to be an average' one, and the distress decried as. Partly or even wholly an imposture, as well as perhaps the exaggerations into which the sense that their danger was ignored or made light Of threw the panic-stricken people, disposed many to wait until the course Of events should reveal the precise character of the crisis in a way that would put all further controversy on the subject to silence.

Not illustrated. 1848 edition. Excerpt: ... only in these kingdoms, but almost in every civilised part of the globe, has so added to its importance, that any information respecting it has become valuable. With the exception of wheat and rice, it is now certainly the vegetable most employed as the food of man; and it is probable that the period is at no great distance, when its extensive use will even place it before those which have hitherto been considered the chief staples of life. The effect of the unlimited extent to which its cultivation may be carried, on the human race, must be a subject of deep interest to the political economist. The extension of population will be as unbounded as the production of food, which is capable of being produced in very small space, and with great facility; and the increased number of inhabitants of the earth will necessarily induce changes, not only in the political systems, but in all the artificial relations of civilised life. How far such changes may conduce to or increase the happiness of mankind, is very problematical, more especially when it is considered, that since the potato, when in cultivation, is very liable to injury from casualties of season, and that it is not at present known how to keep it in store for use beyond a few months, a general failure of the year's crop, whenever it shall have become the chief or sole support of a country, must inevitably lead to all the misery of famine, more dreadful in proportion to the numbers exposed to its ravages." The important influence which has been exercised by this root over the destinies of the human race, arises from the fact that it yields an unusually abundant produce as compared with the extent of ground cultivated, and with the labour, capital, and skill bestowed upon its...
