PREFACE.

THIS Volume does not require an introduction. — The pieces which it contains are valuable fragments of Irish politics; they show the temper of the times, the character of the government, and the spirit of the people they throw some light upon the affairs of a misgoverned country, and if they should, at last, convey any useful information to its rulers, they will render a blessing to Ireland, and a benefit to the empire.

Dublin, 1822.
