LIMERICK. WATERFORD JOURNAL A TOUE IN MUNSTER, I left home, accompanied by my son, on the 16th of June, 1835, with the intention of making a tour of some extent in the south of Ireland. I had heard of that coun- try, and longed to visit it from my very boyhood. I had read all that Miss Edgeworth has written on the subject ; and, having sometimes employed poor Irish labourers in my fields, had amused and instructed myself by hearing their details of their home-life ; but I could not always trust... these people : their wonderful address in finding out what it is you expect to hear them say ; and their quickness in supplying, not the exact truth, but as much of it as they think will be acceptable, I have often observed : and thus, though I have always liked and been a friend to Paddy, I could not depend upon his statements. My son and I used to admire the content of these poor hay-makers : we gave them but low wages, because they earnestly begged for work on any terms ; and we found that we should really oblige them by giving to two the pay of one of our English labourers.
