In 1822 he returned to Ireland to inspect the conditions of the poor and imprisoned, and published his findings as Travels in Ireland in the year 1822 (London, 1823). In the preface he stated his advocacy of catholic relief and his disagreement with the principles of the Orange Order, despite many friends and relatives being members. The book consists of three sections: part 1, a history of Ireland from ancient times to the act of union; part 2, a discussion of beggars, prisons (four years after a government inquiry into prisons in Ireland and a year after the prison service there had been divided into two circuits with an inspector for each) and social relief; and part 3, where he hypothesised that the reasons for Irish poverty lay with avaricious landlords, tithes, want of employment and education, and political disabilities and monopolies.
