It's not appropriate to rate an actual source (because this is what it is: the edition is not a critical one), but I must say that I really enjoyed reading these letters from mainly Count Daniel O'Connell (uncle of the more famous Liberator of the same name) and other members of the extended family. It is, indeed, a true vista opened onto the life of these Catholic gentry families in the late 18th century, and it's riveting.
