Excerpt from In Wicklow, West Kerry and Connemara
In this life, however, there are many privileges. The tramp in Ireland is little troubled by the laws, and lives in out-of-door conditions that keep him in good-humour and fine bodily health. This is so apparent, in Wicklow at least, that these men rarely seek for charity on any plea of ill-health, but ask simply, when they beg 'would you help a poor fellow along the road?' or, 'would you give me the price of a night's lodging, for I'm after walking a great way Since the sun rose?'

Excerpt from In Wicklow, West Kerry and Connemara
The section in this Volume, In West Kerry, was partly re-written from articles which appeared in the Shanachie where some of In Wicklow also appeared; the remainder of the Wicklow articles and the series In The Congested Districts were originally published in the Manchester Guardian, The latter series the author intended to revise before reprinting, but his preoccupation with his dramatic work, and eventually his illness, prevented him from doing so. They were, however, included in the Collected Edition as they appeared, and are here reprinted under the title In Connemara, for although only the hastily written records of a journey through the West of Ireland, they contain many characteristic passages which it is felt those interested in Synge's work will wish to have in this permanent form.
The publishers desire to thank the editors of the Manchester Guardian and the Shanachie for permission to reprint the articles which appeared in their columns.
