Ireland considered as a field for investment or residence

May 22, 2010

PREFACE

The Author of this Work, having in his professional capacity visited every county in Ireland, except two, and having thus had opportunities, spreading over some years, of informing himself both as to the capabilities of the soil and the character of the people, was, after a time, forcibly impressed with the misapprehension existing in the minds of Englishmen generally upon these important points, and in which he himself once participated. A sense of duty would have alone sufficed to induce a desire upon his part of dispelling illusions calculated to materially prejudice the interests of the inhabitants in so large and important a portion of the United Kingdom. He has, however, been further stimulated to submit the result of his observations and experience in Ireland to the British public, from a knowledge of the vast amount of capital now vainly seeking profitable investment, and from a conviction — as before observed, the result of experience — that it may be employed in the purchase of land in that country, as securely and more profitably than in any other part of Great Britain. He would repeat emphatically the remark of the present Premier, the Earl of Derby, in respect to land generally : ” There is no bank in which capital may be so beneficially invested as in the soil,” — as being at this time most especially and peculiarly applicable to land in Ireland.
