Edward Rutherfurd Quotes

True The Greater Part Of The Irish People Was Close To Starvation. The Numbers Of Weakened People Dying From Disease Were Rising. So Few Potatoes Had Been Planted That, Even If They Escaped Bight, They Would Not Be Enough To Feed The Poor Folk Who Relied Upon Them. More And More Of Those Small Tenants And Cottagers, Besides, Were Being Forced Off The Land And Into A Condition Of Helpless Destitution. Ireland, That Is To Say, Was A Country Utterly Prostrated.
Yet The Famine Came To An End. And How Was This Wonderful Thing Accomplished? Why, In The Simplest Way Imaginable. The Famine Was Legislated Out Of Existence. It Had To Be. The Whigs Were Facing A General Election.
