Description

"One hundred and fifty years ago Elizabeth Smith, the Scottish-born wife of a west Wicklow landlord, was keeping a daily record of household, local, national and even international events, written primarily for her children when they grew up. The views expressed are therefore totally frank and uninhibited...[it gives] a contemporary account of everyday life in mid-nineteenth century Ireland."--back cover.
