Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Druids, the Ancient Churches, and the Round Towers of Ireland Whatever may be the character of the following Essay, it is the result of considerable study and inquiry. In the first place, the subjects of which it treats could never be approached without a knowledge of the Celtic language. That, in itself, would require the labour and application of much time. There are, and have been, distinguished antiquaries in Ireland who could not pronounce a single sentence in the Irish language. Yet, to know that language well, without being able to speak it, is an utter impossibility; for it is essentially more a language of the tongue than of the letter. It was once the speech of a vast number of the human race. Probably, it was the first language spoken by man. At the present day fragments of it are found in most countries of the world, even in India and among the original tribes of America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The round tower is Ireland’s most distinctive medieval monument. This book explores the towers’ qualities as works of architecture as well as examining their relationships with other buildings at the sites on which they stand. The author suggests how the towers were employed in ceremonies and other ritualised activities of the Viking Age church in Ireland. They prove to be crucial evidence in a new history of Irish Christianity between the Viking raids and the late 12th-century invasion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were the Druids? This question has agitated the minds of the learned for a long period; and various, as well as contradictory, have been the replies. Tradition preserves their memory as of a pious and superior race, prominently associated with the British Isles and France, and, in a lesser degree, with Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the lands of Scandinavia. Much romance has been long attached to them. We hear their chants in the Stone Circles. We listen to the heaven-inspired utterances of the Archdruid, as be stands on the capstone of a cromlech, in the eye of the sun, surrounded by the white-robed throng, with the bowed worshippers afar. We see the golden sickle reverently cutting off the sacred mistletoe. We follow, in imagination, the solemn procession, headed by the cross-bearer. We look under the old oak at the aged Druid, instructing disciples in mystic lore, in verses never to be committed to writing. We gaze upon the assembly of kings and chieftains, before whom the wise men debate upon some points of legislation. Then, again, we recognize the priests as patriots, resisting the invaders of their homes, and loudly chanting the Battle Hymn. We are at the convocation of Brehons, in their deliberations on law, and, awestruck, wait upon the observers of sun and stars, or of the signs of the times in the investigation of terrestrial phenomena. We go with them to the judgment upon offenders of an unwritten code, and witness the dread ordeal, or the fiery human sacrifice. But our inquiry is, What has Irish tradition or literature to say to these interesting details concerning Druids?
