''A Visit to Connaught, in the Autumn of 1847'' is a historical book written by James Hack Tuke in 1848. The book is a letter addressed to the Central Relief Committee of the Society of Friends in Dublin, describing Tuke’s visit to the western province of Connaught during the Great Famine in Ireland. Tuke was a Quaker philanthropist who traveled to Ireland to provide relief to the starving population during the famine. In his letter, he provides a detailed account of his journey through Connaught, describing the conditions of the people he encountered and the efforts made to provide them with food and shelter. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the devastating impact of the famine on Ireland and the efforts made by individuals and organizations to alleviate the suffering of the Irish people. It is also an important record of the Quaker relief efforts during the famine, which played a significant role in providing aid to the Irish population. Overall, ''A Visit to Connaught, in the Autumn of 1847'' is a compelling and informative book that sheds light on a critical period in Irish history and the humanitarian efforts that helped to mitigate its impact.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
