Cobbett, in his travels tlirougli Ireland, complains of 

 passing over large tracts of that fertile island, without 

 finding a single field of turnips, niingel wurtzei,or cab- 

 bages. He says, the people are in such a miserable con- ' 

 dition, that even the children and wives of what are 

 called farjners, are not only nearly starved, but all but 

 absolutely naked.
