Book Description
Excerpt from Carleton's Stories of Irish Life I have written many works on Irish life, and up to the present day the man has never lived who could lay his finger on any passage of my writings, and say, That is false.' Truth is something more than a verbal or factual accuracy, and it is never his accuracy that is in question. In reading through the mass of his many works on Irish life, the bewilderment lies, not in any falsity (his knowledge was too intimate for that), but in the changing standpoints from which he told his truth, in his progress round the many possible stand points, and the curious aspect the standpoint of to-day suddenly came to wear when viewed from the standpoint of to-morrow.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of William Carleton, Vol. 3: Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry In every point of view this was wrong, but principally in a political one. At that time England and Englishmen knew very little of Ireland, and, consequently, the principal opportunities afforded them of appreciating our character were found on the stage. Of course, it was very natural that the erroneous estimate of us which they formed there should influence them everywhere else. We cannot sympathize with, and laugh at, the same object at the same time; and if the Irishman found himself undeservedly the object of coarse and unjust ridicule, it ivas not very unnatural that he should requite it with a prejudice against the principles and feelings of Englishmen, quite as strong as that which was entertained against himself. Had this ridicule been confined to the stage, or directed at us in the presence of those who had other and better opportunities of knowing us, it would have been compara tively harmless. But this was not the case. It passed from the stage into the recesses of private life, wrought itself into the feelings until it became a prejudice, and the Irish man was consequently looked upon, and treated, as being made up of absurdity and cunning, - a compound of knave and fool, fit only to be punished for his knavery, or laughed at for his folly. So far, therefore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Emigrants: A Tale of Irish Life Having written the work which follows, for the purpose of exhibiting, I trust without any offensive prejudice, the circumstances that in general occasion the unparalleled tide of emigration which has drained, and is still draining, this unhappy country of its best blood and strength, I find it very difficult to add anything further upon the subject in the shape of a preface. As there probably may be many persons, however, who will expect from this book more political details upon the subject of Emigration than I have deemed it my business as a novelis to enter into, I think it necessary in the very outset to undeceive them, and to state that, if they open its pages with such a hope or such a fear, they will most assuredly be disappointed. The work is not, therefore, a political one, nor encumbered with anything like a superabundance of mere political reflections. So far from that, I have only introduced such short and plain statements affecting the condition of our people, and pointing out the many causes which have produced it, as were in point of fact necessary to elucidate the motives of action which I have ascribed to some of my characters. I have not presumed to dictate to the legislator nor to make suggestions to the mere politician. My humble task has been to lay open, with an honest and firm hand, many of those evils which press upon the most industrious classes of my brethren the people; and, having done this in a spirit that is not calculated to exasperate but to instruct, I consider my task accomplished. It is for the legislator and the politician to read and draw the obvious inference if they think I am right - and, if they think I am wrong, to pause a little and examine closely whether the error be in their own judgment or mine - in their own prejudices or in my facts.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Amusing Irish Tales Ultimately, while still resident in Dublin, he became acquainted with the Rev. Caesar Otway. At this gentle man's suggestion young Carleton wrote a tale for one of the magazines, which attracted general notice. This formed the second turning point in the young man's life, and showed to himself and friends where his forte lay. From this period a long stream of writings came from the talented author's pen, both through separate volumes and through the magazine press. In all, the volumes he became author of amounted to over forty in number. Many of his novels and tales exhibit singular power and talent, and have universally been acknowledged as giving true and faithful representations of the social life of his countrymen. William Carleton died in 1869 at the age of seventy-one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
