Excerpt from Tales and Sketches: Illustrating the Character, Usages, Traditions, Sports and Pastimes of the Irish Peasantry
Such as they are, he now respectfully presents them to the reader, with a hope that he will find in them some amusement, some knowledge that will be new to him, even as an Irishman, and occasional glimpses of that fire-side enjoyment and simplicity of country life, which, perhaps, after all, ampler knowledge may remove without putting any thing so well calculated to charm the untutored heart in their stead.
