"These people are depressed beyond all conception, and what may appear astonishing, they bear their degradation without murmuring or complaint."1130
"The inhabitants are poor, and their cabins are wretched huts, with a wattled door lined with a straw mat in the inside.”1131
They have scarcely any clothing but rags, and in general wear neither shoes nor stockings.' 991132
"The poor throughout Connaught live in a state of great wretchedness; oatmeal is a luxury which they seldom taste.1133
"Meat is no part of the food of these people. Whatever animals they rear and fatten, they sell,' according to their own expressions, 'to the northerns." "1134
"The country round the Arigna iron works, is inhabited by a people, who, according to every appearance, are in a most wretched condition. They are badly clothed, and reside in dirty mud cabins, continually filled with smoke."1133
"The lower orders are in general very poor. Their usual food is potatoes and milk."1136
"Their food is the same as this class of persons in most other parts of Ireland, make use of: viz. potatoes, and occasionally fish; they are seldom so circumstanced, as to be able to obtain a constant and sufficient supply of milk."1137
"Potatoes and milk form the general food, to which is often added, fish procured from the Shannon and the lake."1138
"The general food of the inhabitants is potatoes, meal, and milk; some of the wealthier farmers occasionally eat animal food."1189
"Their food is potatoes, with milk or fish. The rich farmers eat pork sometimes,"1140
"Their dwellings are usually very indifferent and dirty, and even devoid of necessaries. Many sleep on the damp floor. Their clothing for day or night is often very scanty."1141
"The general food of the peasantry is potatoes. During the lent season, and a little before and after, salted herrings make an addition to their daily food. Flesh meat is seldom used in their cottages, except on remarkable occasions, as at Christmas and Easter, and even then, the only kind used is pork or bacon." "1148
"The greater part of the inhabitants of this rich and populous district live upon potatoes and milk.”1
I could go on with the harrowing detail to fill a volume-but I trust I have given enough to prove the abject state to which the lower orders of society are reduced in one of the most highly-gifted portions of the globe, owing to the blighting policy under which they groaned for centuries.
