Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Around the Emerald Isle: A Record of Impressions
Impressions do not always coincide with ex pert Opinions and studied conclusions. They may be considered as treasures of the heart rather than as triumphs of the mind. The lit tle journey of which this book is a partial record was undertaken as a vacation experi ence, and in the hope that some pleasurable and more or less profitable impressions might be received. The result is herein described. Twenty-three of the thirty-two counties of Ire land were visited, characteristic features of different sections observed, and important his torical episodes recalled. The story of Ireland is so pathetic, the position of Ireland so unique, and the Emerald Isle is so much in the thought of the world today that even the uh scientific comments of an American traveller with a liberal percentage of Irish blood in his veins may be of interest to the reader - should there be one.
