The total failure of the potato crop appears to be
a sad reality. Everywhere in Ireland, and in the
greater pat Of the British island, the potato fields
are shrouded with the dark nantes of the plague.

accounts Of the progress Of the blight. The future
use of the potato, article Of food is now almost
abandoned.
