Excerpt from The Irish Land Question

The following pages are offered, in an impartial spirit, as a contribution towards the settlement of the Irish Land Question. In 1849, favoured by the introduction of the late Sir Robert Peel, I visited Ireland, then prostrate from the famine, and carefully examined the agricultural condition of the country. In Parliament I have since had many opportunities, both in the House and in Committees, of considering the subject. And during the present year, in a recent visit to Ireland, I traversed a large part of that country, embracing portions of each province, - from Dublin to Tralee and Sligo, and from Cork to Londonderry, - and had very ample opportunities of discussing the question, and of eliciting the views of men of all shades of opinion.
