"Ireland is divided into four provinces, viz.
Munster, Connaught, Leinster and Ulster. Leinster is chiefly inhabited by what
are called the English Irish, and Ulster the Scotch Irish - From the latter
province at least three quarters of the emigrants to America, have come for
many years past. The Scotch-Irish, both
by education and religion are inclined to Republicanism, or a free government.”
