To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The peasant who teeh, or beUeves himself to be treated with injustice, or cruelty, never pauses to reflect upon the reli^on of the man whom he looks upon as his oppressor. He will shoot a CathoUc landlord or agent from behind a hedge, with as much good- will as he would a Pro- testant. Indeed, in general he will prefer a Pro- testant landlord to those of his own creed, knowinf THE IRISH AGENT. 173 well, as he does, that the latter, where they are possessed of property, constitute the very worst... class of landlords in the kingdom. As religion, there- fore, is not at all necessarily mixed up with the Irishman's prejudices on this subject — ^it is conse- quently both dangerous and wicked to force it to an adhesion with so dreadful a principle as that which resorts to noon-day or midnight murder. This is nnfortunately what such fellows as this M'Clutchy do. They find the Irish peasant with but one for- midable prejudice, in relation to property, and by a course of neglect, oppression, and rapacity, joined to all the malignant rancour of religious bigotry, and party feeling, they leave him goaded by a hundred.
