Book excerpt: "In the year 1850 the two estates of Ballintubber and Morony were sold to Mr. Philip Jones, under the Estates Court, which had then been established. They had been the property of two different owners, but lay conveniently so as to make one possession for one proprietor. Mr. Jones had expended over £30,000 in purchasing the property, and was congratulated by all men on having done well with his money." 'The Landleaguers' is a novel by the author Anthony Trollope. Set in the Irish countryside, it follows the lives of the Jones family as they live through the famous "Irish Land War", a perilous time of upheaval in Ireland, especially for landlords like Mr. Jones.
