Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Occupation of Land in Ireland, in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century In the School of Economics of the National University of Ireland, the minds of the students turn naturally to the investigation of economic conditions in the past and present of their own country. The practice of conferring the higher degrees for competent original work of this kind has, so far, been fruitful of excellent results. It has brought forth more than one treatise of distinct merit, and has added materially to an important department of our national literature. The "thesis" prepared by Mr. Dardis, and for which he received the Master of Arts degree, is a good example of the value of this system. Mr. Dardis deals with conditions which have largely passed away, and which to the next generation will be only a matter of history. But a country cannot afford to allow any chapter of its history to be forgotten; it cannot understand itself unless it knows how it has come to be what it is. Mr. Dardis describes with painstaking accuracy the deplorable misery out of which the rural Ireland of to-day has emerged. His pages will have their lesson for many readers.
