Abstract
Carl Gottlob Küttner, German from Saxony by birth, travelling tutor by calling, and life-long educator, discovered an Ireland full of contradictions in 1783/84. Living with the gentry, but searching for the culture of Gaelic Ireland, he shared many insights in letters to a friend in Leipzig. Can his insights be of relevance today again?
