SECURITY, OR SKILL?

PRINTED AT THE TYRONE CONSTITUTION OFFICE,

1869.

The five following papers, written by Hibernicus, are reprints from the Tyrone Constitution. Their object is chiefly to show that instead of less landlord influence more (but that of an elevated type) is required in those parts of Ireland, the backwardness of which calls most loudly for legislation.

The writer had not perused Master Fitzgibbon's recent pamphlet when the above papers were penned. He now feels gratified to find himself in accord, in so many points, with so able a thinker.

December 1869.
