To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But even with nothing but the potato, who for a moment would compare the moral habits, the female chastity, the conjugal fidelity, the mutual dependence, that exist in an Irish cabin, where scarcely any thing but potatoes are eaten, with the moral laxity that is en- gendered in the lofts of an English manuf ictory ? Why, gentlemen, an Irishman, sooner than let his aged father or mother drag out the remainder of their days in a workhouse, would give, not the balf, but the whole of his last potat...o to keep them at his own fire-side. •' But, gentlemen, I am not arguing for the exclusive use of the potato. Let the people be employed, and they can afiord to use meat, butter, &c.. In addition — let landlords be kind and considerate so that while they live they would let live — let rents be lowered, and I fearlessly assert that the day would (or should^ l)e kept as a joyful anniversary in which the first potato was set in Irish soil. It is a root which has reared millions of sound men — men lit to fight the battles of their king and country over sea and land, and exalt the red cross flag of the British monarch in every clime and on every shore.
