Excerpt from A Frenchman's Walk Through Ireland, 1796-7: Promenade D'un Fran�ais Dans L'irlande

Just at the beginning of his Irish journey he had the misfortune to lose, by death, his friend and patron, and for a moment he hesitated. But he had nothing to do - had youth and good spirits for his possession, and he decided to trust Providence and proceed.

An Amenhotep may lead the troops of Egypt to victory over Syria, Mesopotamia and Nubia, with consequences vastly important to Amenhotep and Egypt and the subjected peoples; and the story of the conquests leaves us cold. But, out of a tomb of his time we take a string of beads or a child's doll, and we touch hands with the old Egyptians at once. And so, if our exile had heavily recorded only the important matters of trade and political economy of Ireland of his time, it would have been wise to let him sleep quietly in the dust of the years.
