Valentine M'Clutchy, The Irish Agent

"Valentine M'Clutchy, The Irish Agent: The Works of William Carleton, Volume Two" by William Carleton presents phases of Irish life and manners that have never been given to the public before by any other writer. Upon its release, not a single person from Ireland was able to deny the facts in this story as they were an authentic account of what living in the country was like at the time, which, in turn, was leaps and bounds different than life in other British countries. Every walk of life from the most pious to the most hard-working of the Irish classes is represented here for all to admire and learn from.
