Book Description

Excerpt from Tom O'kelly Obviously we look at Ballytown from a parti cular point of View. The number of pictures of Ballytown society that could be drawn is infinite, but every writer must choose his own foreground, and the rest tapers away in due perspective. It will occur to our readers that there are many pleasant and kindly aspects of Ballytown life that have not been dealt with. We have simply sketched a few leading features as seen from a particular point of view; but these features are not the less, but rather the more, important, because so many writers have either ignored them, or flattered them, in the drawing, out of all recognition.
