Excerpt from Ireland of to-Day: The Causes and Aims of Irish AgitationThe portion which treats of the establishment of peasant proprietary in other European countries will be found particularly curious and valuable, while the description of the home-life of the Irish cottier farmer, who held his little farm from day to day at the will of his landlord, from whom he had no lease and who could raise his rent a dozen times a day if he so chose, will be found a social picture without a parallel in any other part of the globe.The advantages of the Land Acts of 1870 and 1881 are fairly and fully presented. The illustrations include portraits of the principal leaders of the agita tion, with scenes and places prominently identified with it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
