The Author Of This Volume Has, For A Considerable Time, Been Of Opinion, That The Leading facts Of The Great Irish Famine Of 1847 Ought To Be Put Together Without Unnecessary Delay. Several Reasons Occurred to Him Why Such A Work Should Be Done: The Magnitude Of The Famine Itself; The Peculiarity Of Its Immediate Cause; Its Influence On The Destiny Of The Irish Race. That There Should Be No Unnecessary Delay In performing the Task Was Sufficiently Proved, He Thought, By The Fact, That Testimony Of The Most Valuable Kind, Namely, Contemporary Testimony, Was Silently But Rapidly Passing away With The Generation That Had Witnessed the Scourge.

William Carleton (1794-1869) was born in Co. Tyrone, the son of a peasant who supported fourteen children on a small farm. The family was bilingual, and his parents accomplished singers and storytellers. Carleton was educated mainly at unofficial 'hedge schools'. He abandoned plans for the priesthood for a literary life in Dublin, where he became a Protestant, and began writing for the Revd Caesar Otway's sectarian magazine, The Christian Examiner. He managed to make a precarious career as a writer, contributing to a number of magazines and publishing some eighteen full-length novels besides his collections of stories. His conversion to Protestantism, and the anti-Catholic bias of some of his work, made him a controversial figure, but no contemporary Irish novelist could match his knowledge of the Irish peasantry and their culture, and Yeats described him as 'the great novelist of Ireland, by right of the most Celtic eyes that ever gazed from under the brows of storyteller'.

I have endeavored, with what success has been alreadydetermined by the voice of my own country, to give a panorama of Irishlife among the people--comprising at one view all the strong points oftheir general character--their loves, sorrows, superstitions, piety,amusements, crimes, and virtues; and in doing this, I can say withsolemn truth that I painted them honestly, and without reference to theexistence of any particular creed or party.
