Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Irish Commonwealth AN English attorney-general in Ireland, Sir John Davies writing in the reign of James I. Said There is no nation under the sun that love equal and indifferent justice better than the Irish, or will rest better satisfied with the execution thereof, although it be against themselves. Sir John Allen, English Master of the Rolls in Ireland, wrote to the Lord Deputy Sir Anthony St. Leger, in 1537, that he had been of this opinion ere now, that the Irish were more conformable togood order than diverse of the King's subjects, and kept their troths better. A still earlier writer, in the days of Henry VII., had reported The laws and statutes made by the Irish on their bills they keep 'firm and staple, without breaking them for any favour or reward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland Under the Commonwealth, Vol. 1: Being a Selection of Documents Relating to the Government of Ireland From 1651 to 1659 The documents printed in these two volumes form part of a collection I made many years ago, when I had it in mind to write a history of the Commonwealth in Ireland. That intention was never realised for several reasons; but chiefly because I felt that the knowledge I possessed of Irish history was insufficient to enable me to deal with the subject adequately. At the time I was of opinion that the view taken by Prendergast in his well-known book - The Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland - was not an entirely impartial one. I thought it possible to present the Cromwellian policy in a more favorable light than either he or Carte, with his royalist predilections, had done. My position was that taken up by Cromwell himself - viz. that the conquest and confiscation of Ireland was the divine retribution for the horrid and unprovoked massacre by the Irish Catholics of the English and Scottish settlers in Ireland in the first year of the Rebellion. In this spirit I made these transcripts, and nothing that I read in them tended to alter that view. From the Records of the Commonwealth I turned to a study of the Depositions relating to the Massacres. It was then that I first began to experience an uncomfortable feeling that my evidence was not so strong as I would have liked it to be. True the Depositions were very explicit and apparently incontrovertible; but I was living in Dublin at a time when the power of the Land League was at its height, and I could not help asking what value depositions taken by a body of Orange magistrates as to nationalist outrages were likely to possess for an impartial estimate of the state of Ireland during the government of Earl Spencer. Was the state of affairs in 1642 more favourable for an impartial inquiry than it was in 1882? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in a Free Ireland Ship. Hatred of England is all very well in its way, and so long as it keeps its head we cannot have too much of it while England rules us; but we cannot propose to build an Irish Republic upon a vacuum, nor yet upon half-a-dozen different foundations at once, without catastrophe Side by side with our efforts to expel the enemy we must be at work thinking out how we shall fill his place; we must contemplate no makeshift interregnum in Ireland, but have an ordered plan of a commonwealth to put into practice at once. The old vicious circle, that without expelling English rule you can construct nothing, and that in order to expel it you must construct something, can only be solved by aiming to do both together. It would be a sounder and a nobler thing to fight for a Roisin Dubh of flesh and blood whom we can clearly visualise than for a will-o'-the-wisp, a phantom clothed in a tricolor of whom we do not know whether she may turn out a beautiful queen or a hide ous grinning monster or worst of all perhaps a colourless and vapid suburban lady. Reconstruction for us must mean more than grants i-n aid and salaries to innumerable fat Controllers, or a discreet burying of the Labour tomahawk. In Ireland we must have not alone a reconstruction of industry, we must not alone disguise Tweedledum as a benevolent Tweedledee in economics and.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Secret Commonwealth is a guide to fairies, doppelgängers, wraiths, and other beings that its author Robert Kirk, an unusually inquisitive seventeenth-century Scottish minister, identifies as being ?of a middle nature betwixt man and angel.? Circulated in manuscript by its author, whose religious and scientific interests drew him at some genuine personal risk to investigate the hidden realities of the spiritual world, this short work was first published by Sir Walter Scott and then again in the late nineteenth century in an edition prepared by the famous collector of fairy tales, Andrew Lang, and dedicated to Robert Louis Stevenson. Nonetheless, Kirk’s work, which is a fine example of English prose, an important document in the history of ideas, and an enchanting introduction to fairy lore has remained a rarity"--Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Constitution Explained Similarly I did not deal with certain matters anterior to the Constitution, in the light of which the Constitution can alone be understood. They lay out of sight of these articles, though they were essential to them, since they brought the Constitution, in its present form, into being. Chief among these is the historical fact that Ireland has, by Treaty, confirmed by the act of her Legislature, con sented to enter a Community of Nations known at the moment as the British Commonwealth of Nations. We may disagree with this act; but it is an international fact; and without it the Constitution would not be what it now is. This factor in the result is therefore worth brief atten tion, by way of introduction to the present publication of these articles.

Download or read book The Intellectuals written by Canon Sheehan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Intellectuals: An Experiment in Irish Club-Life This volume is an attempt to describe a possibility which the author hopes lies latent in the future that is before his country; when, under the influences of wider and more rational systems of education, the barriers of racial and sectarian prejudices may be broken down, and the higher humanities accepted as an integral portion of social and domestic life. It should be superfluous to say that, where so many diflerent and even contradictory opinions on all sub jects are so freely expressed, it would be quite illogical to identify the author with any class of sentiments. He has endeavoured to make his characters speak and act in con formity with what may be regarded as their preconceived notions on the difierent subjects discussed, holding aloof from any partisanship, and seeking only proportion and con gruity in the action and conversations that are recorded. If it will help to show that there are really no invincible antag onisms amongst the peoples who make up the commonwealth of Ireland, no mutual repugnances that may not be removed by freer and kindlier intercourse with each other, he will be sufficiently rewarded.

Download or read book Gay Novels of Britain Ireland and the Commonwealth 1881 1981 written by Drewey Wayne Gunn and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While American gay fiction has received considerable scholarly attention, little has been given to developments in other English-speaking countries. This survey catalogs 254 novels and novellas by some 173 British, Irish and Commonwealth authors in which gay and bisexual male characters play a major role. Arranged chronologically from the appearance of the first gay protagonist in 1881, to works from the onset of the AIDS epidemic in 1981, in-depth entries discuss each book's publication history, plot and significance for the construct of gay identity, along with a brief biography of its author. Including iconic works like Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) and E.M. Forster's Maurice, as well as lesser known but noteworthy novels such as Rose Macaulay's The Lee Shore (1912) and John Broderick's The Waking of Willie Ryan (1969), this volume--the first of its kind--enlarges our understanding of the development of gay fiction and provides an essential reading list.

Download or read book Commonwealth written by Michael Hardt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Empire appeared in 2000, it defined the political and economic challenges of the era of globalization and, thrillingly, found in them possibilities for new and more democratic forms of social organization. Now, with Commonwealth, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri conclude the trilogy begun with Empire and continued in Multitude, proposing an ethics of freedom for living in our common world and articulating a possible constitution for our common wealth. Drawing on scenarios from around the globe and elucidating the themes that unite them, Hardt and Negri focus on the logic of institutions and the models of governance adequate to our understanding of a global commonwealth. They argue for the idea of the “common” to replace the opposition of private and public and the politics predicated on that opposition. Ultimately, they articulate the theoretical bases for what they call “governing the revolution.” Though this book functions as an extension and a completion of a sustained line of Hardt and Negri’s thought, it also stands alone and is entirely accessible to readers who are not familiar with the previous works. It is certain to appeal to, challenge, and enrich the thinking of anyone interested in questions of politics and globalization.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 1058 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of the State Papers Relating to Ireland, Preserved in the Public Record Office, 1647-1660 The Preface to this Volume should begin with an apology for its abnormal size. The sheets up to page 725 had already been passed through the press, and the index was well advanced, when a considerable amount of fresh material relating to Irish affairs, and falling within the years of the Commonwealth, was discovered among the entry books of the Council of State. This material had not found a place in the Domestic Calendar for the period, though it contains many entries relating to Ireland. It was thought better to incorporate it in the present volume than to keep it for another, and thus hamper the Calendar of the years following the Restoration with documents which properly belonged to an earlier time. Accordingly, the addition was made. It resulted in extending the text of this Volume by 150 pages, with a consequent increase of the Index. All the documents dealing with Ireland in this period, except those selected by the Editor of the Domestic Calendar) are, however, now presented to the reader. I hope that the knowledge of this fact will compensate for the inconvenience of having to deal with so large a book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loyalty and Disloyalty: What It Means in Ireland A Great Frenchman, 150 years ago, wondered that the world had not for ever condemned the most evil of all forms of Government - the rule of a Nation by a Nation. Such a rule is, indeed, the most tyrannous and the most intolerable, leaving the people under it more helpless for resistance and more emptied of hope than any other system. Government by a Nation is, so to speak, eternal in its monotony. Emperor or King may die, and his authority pass to a successor of other views: a nation never dies, nor departs from its fundamental character. There can be no change of outlook on its own special interests, which have been created by its situation; and from age to age its pre-occupations remain the same, only increasing in intensity. A single ruler and his personal advisers may hear an appeal to reason; it is another matter to convince a nation made up of millions of private wills and of thousands of jealous interests, not to speak of ignorances and prejudices. The passions of the crowd rise in flood to a torrent uncontrollable and irresistible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
