To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides this, the penal laws which gave the whole estate of tlie Catholic to any son who would consent to abjure his religion, seemed ingeniously contrived to secure a perpetual influx of unprincipled men into the landlord class ; while the vast smuggling trade which necessarily followed the arbitrary and ruinous pro- hibition of the export of wool, conspired with other causes to make the landlords, like all other Irishmen, hostile to the law. The glimpses which are given incidentally of their ...mode of life by Swift, Berkeley, Chesterfield, and Dobbs, and at a later period by Arthur Young, are in many respects exceedingly unfavourable. The point of honour in Ireland has always been rather in favour of improvidence than of economy. In dress and living a scale of reckless expenditure was common, which impelled the landlords to rackrents and invasions of the common land, and these in their turn produced the agrarian troubles of the ' Whiteboys ' and ' Hearts of Steel.' Hard drinking was carried to a much greater extent than in England, and both Berkeley and Chester- field have noticed the extraordinary consumption of THE imSII LANDLORDS.
