"Facts for the Kind-Hearted of England!" by Jasper W. Rogers is a socio-political treatise written in the mid-19th century, likely during the Victorian era. The book addresses the dire conditions faced by the Irish peasantry, outlining their wretched state and exploring potential means for their regeneration and improvement. Rogers aims to evoke empathy and action from the English audience by presenting the suffering endured by the Irish, urging a reconsideration of prejudices and wrong perceptions about their character and circumstances. In this compelling work, Rogers recounts his observations and experiences related to the Irish laborers' hardships, particularly the oppressive potato truck system that led to dire poverty, despair, and societal ridicule. He narrates poignant anecdotes illustrating the resilience and dignity of the Irish people, while challenging the stereotypes surrounding them. Rogers argues for a change in how the Irish are treated, presenting a strong case for intervention whereby the social and economic systems could be reformed to allow the Irish peasantry better livelihoods and integration into society. Through this heartfelt appeal, he calls upon English women, in particular, to champion the cause of these downtrodden individuals, believing that their compassion can lead to significant societal change.
