The Reminiscences of an Irish Land Agent
"Excerpt from the book..."Probably the first criticism on this book will be that it is colloquial.The reason for this lies in the fact that though Mr. Hussey has for twogenerations been one of the most noted raconteurs in Ireland, he hasnever been addicted to writing, and for that reason has always declinedto arrange his memoirs, though several times approached by publishersand strongly urged to do so by his friends, notably Mr. Froude and Mr.John Bright. If his reminiscences are to be at all characteristic theymust be conversational, and it is as a talker that he himself at lengthconsents to appear in print.
