Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Connaught Cousins, Vol. 1 of 3 Among the first to recognise the unique power of these stories, their fidelity to human nature, and their predominant dra matic power, was one Of the foremost moral teachers Of this or any time, - Mr Reade. Had they been unveracious, had they been in any sense productions of the inner consciousness, they would never have attracted that most keen-sighted of social Observers; had they lacked sympathy fortheir subject, had they been opposed to what was best in Irish life and character they would never have won his approval. But their veracity is vital and will prevail. Meantime, the reader is to be warned that they contain many things, present many pictures, which the false friends and sum mer lovers of Ireland must naturally re gard with suspicion and dislike. The true friends Of Ireland, and all those who honestly sympathise with the national as pirations, will find in them that truth which genius only can reveal, and which, when once revealed, is fairer than any.
