DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Ocean Plague: Or, a Voyage to Quebec in an Irish Emigrant Vessel: Embracing Quarantine at Grosse Isle in 1847, With Notes Illustrative of the Ship-Pestilence of That Fatal Year Men judge by the complexion of the sky, The state and inclination of the day: So may you by my dull and heavy eye, My tongue hath but a heavier tale to say. I play the torturer by small and small To lengthen out the worst that may be spoken. Shakspeare. Emigration has for a long time been considered by British political economists the most effective means of alleviating the grievous ills under which the Irish peasantry labor. It is not our province to inquire into its expediency; but viewing the subject with the single eye of common-sense, it is difficult to see the necessity of expatriating the superfluous population of a country wherein hundreds of thousands of acres of land susceptible of the highest culture, lie waste, - whose mines teeming with wealth remain - unworked, and which is bordered by more than two thousand miles of sea coast, whose banks swarm with ling, cod, mackerel, &c, while salt-fish is largely imported from Scotland.
