Book Description
Excerpt from Sketches of the Irish Highlands: Descriptive, Social, and Religious; With Special Reference to Irish Missions in West Connaught Since 1840 The writer's best apology for thus venturing into print, is a Simple statement of the Providential cir cumstances which have led to it. Laid aside by a tedious illness, he was applied to by his esteemed friend, Rev. H. Magee, Editor of plain words, for a few articles on Irish Missions, to be inserted in that useful periodical. This subject, being the work of his life, grew under his hands until at last, con trary to expectation, it swelled into a volume.

Book Description
Based on the accounts of British and Anglo-Irish travelers, 'Creating Irish Tourism' charts the development of tourism in Ireland from its origins in the mid-eighteenth century to the country's emergence as a major European tourist destination a century later. The work shows how the Irish tourist experience evolved out of the interactions among travel writers, landlords, and visitors with the peasants who, as guides, jarvies, venders, porters and beggars, were as much a part of Irish tourism as the scenery itself.
Tourism, Landscape, and the Irish Character

Book Description
Picturesque but poor, abject yet sublime in its Gothic melancholy, the Ireland perceived by British visitors during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries did not fit their ideas of progress, propriety, and Protestantism. The rituals of Irish Catholicism, the lamentations of funeral wakes, the Irish language they could not comprehend, even the landscapes were all strange to tourists from England, Wales, and Scotland. Overlooking the acute despair in England’s own industrial cities, these travelers opined in their writings that the poverty, bog lands, and ill-thatched houses of rural Ireland indicated moral failures of the Irish character.
