Richard Twiss' "A Tour in Ireland in 1775", published in the
following year, was one of the most controversial books of its
period. It was based on his experiences of a five-month stay in the
country. It enraged the Irish public through its unflattering
representation of Ireland and its inhabitants. Since its
publication it has been widely quoted as a contemporary source for
Irish life, though generally cited in a negative context. Although
a bestseller in its day it has not been reprinted since. This new
edition includes the full collection of poems written in opposition
to the book, together with contemporary illustrations of the sites
and views visited by Twiss during his tour.
