Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters From Donega in 1886
If I mistake not, there is a graphic force in the very simplicity and naivete with which these letters are written, which will make them understood better than more elaborate statements. There are few points as to the actual condition of Ireland at this moment on which they do not throw some light. That no letter was written for any eye but that of the confidential friend to whom they are addressed, and that therefore the writer paints herself, her own anxieties, her fears, hopes and doings, as well as all that is going on round her in a way that under no other circumstances would have been possible, is what gives the letters their special value.
