''The Irish Tourist: Or The People And The Provinces Of Ireland'' is a travelogue written by Emily Taylor in 1837. The book provides a detailed account of Taylor’s journey through Ireland, describing the people and provinces she encountered along the way. Taylor’s writing is rich in detail, offering a vivid portrait of the Irish countryside, its customs, and its people. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different region of Ireland. Taylor explores the landscapes, cities, and towns of each region, providing insights into the local culture and history.Throughout the book, Taylor also reflects on the social and political issues of the time, such as poverty, the Catholic Church, and the struggle for Irish independence. Her observations are often critical, but they are also infused with empathy and a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of Ireland.Overall, ''The Irish Tourist'' is a fascinating and engaging travelogue that provides a unique window into Ireland in the mid-19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Irish history, culture, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
