PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
e/>
HardlyeJj a week has passed since the First Edition
acof this book was piihlished, aad now a Second is
£2 called for.
This is one proof, of many, that the public mind
is keenly alive to the magnitude and urgency of the
Irish Land Question,
o
*^
What all true friends of Ireland22 desire, is a
thorough and honest consideration of her case^
J
ui then let right be done.
Events are moving rapidly. Even since my earlier
Letters were publislied, in the beginning of November,
the question has passed into a new phase.
Ireland to-day is a Nation on strike. All former^
popular movements, which have perplexed Govern-^
ments, have been pohtical. This is not political : it is
social.
Thus it has come to pass that Catholics and Pro-
«/TO THE SECOND EDITION.vi PREFACE
and men of the South,testants, men of the North
of the Unionand Conservatives, friendsLiberals
now found side by side.and its enemies, are
settled resolution toHere indeed are signs of a
its miserableLand System which, in alluproot a
of evil—a resolutionhistory, has been fruitful only
will divertfrom which no appeals to ancient prejudices
the people.
unhappily, at times, excesses,There have been
hardlyinjustice, hardships. These are perhaps
where great popular social forces are set inavoidable
motion ; but, it ought to be the endeavour of all who
influence the people, and who have heart theircan at
true interests, to minimize these evils.
The principal addition which will be found in this
valuable Letter from the Protestant Eectorissue is a
willof Kenmare, which be found at p. 216.
