Ierne, Or Anecdotes and Incidents During a Life Chiefly in Ireland: With Notices of People and Places (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ierne, or Anecdotes and Incidents During a Life Chiefly in Ireland: With Notices of People and Places

Is looked upon as a letter of introduction to the public, although, too often, it fails to give a sufficient reason for the presentation of what follows. I would wish it otherwise.

That excellent writer, Albert Barnes, has said, that a man who has reached the sixtieth year of his life ought to f be able to give some views of living, which will be worth the attention of those who are starting on the way; he ought to be able to offer some counsel, which it would be wise and safe for those who are young to follow; he ought to be able so to speak of the temptations of this world as to show how they may be avoided or overcome.
