Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. "Earth, of man the bounteous mother, Feeds him still with corn and vine: He who best would aid a brother, Shares with him these gifts divine."

Mrs. Nicholson, a native of Vermont, spent nearly three years in Ireland, from the winter of 1847 (the worst of the Famine) to 1849, trying to do what she could to help the poor, from running her own soup kitchen in Dublin, to visiting the sick and dying in the huts and fields all around the island, to distributing bread in city streets or assisting in any way she could in the many wretched poorhouses she visited.
