Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Recollections I was born in the City of Cork, a city sur rounded by some Of the most picturesque, poetic, and delightful regions to be found anywhere throughout the island. It is divided by the River Lee, and the Lee itself passes down through a district ornamented by beautiful, although not lofty hills and through exquisite plains, rich meadows, and delightful gardens, then streams through the city, and at last pours itself into the harbour of Queenstown, called in my early days the Cove of Cork, or more commonly by the abbreviated name of Cove, into the open sea. The home which I remember best in Cork was made up of a small house with a garden running down to the edge of the river, and when one had closed the gate behind him he seemed to be removed entirely from the commonplace working day world of business and traffic. He was stand ing at one end of a pretty garden with its little meadow, its fruit trees, and its abundant flowers, and just beneath him flowed the River Lee, there a narrow, rushing stream along whose opposite bank were meadows and trees, and in the farther background gently sloping hills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Irish War Even in Ireland, folk in thinking of the war that ended in the establishment by International Treaty of the Free State go back no further than the Easier Rising of 1916. Little wonder that this way of thought should prevail outside Ireland. Life, however, does not work in this fashion. History, which is the record of Life, reveals a far-reaching series of connected causes and effects, difficult to disconnect into the trim order that the unimaginative mind requires. To follow any part of that record, from whatever personal standpoint it be seen, with understanding and interest, it is necessary, therefore, briefly to note the framework into which it is set. The Easter Rising of 1916 reaches back through two personalities to older events. Noble minds planned that Rising as an heroic gesture of sacrifice. Other minds, not less noble, held aloof because they saw no justification for it on military or political grounds. But of them all two (one on each side) connected that event, and the causes that immediately produced it, with earlier history. These two therefore are specially significant. The first of them is Arthur Griffith. He held aloof; but he took the Rising back to the fall of Parnell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of an Irish Police Magistrate and Other Reminiscenses of the South of Ireland A'r a moment when the horrors of agrarian outrage, 'and those of base assassination, threaten again to fill the South of Ireland with just terror - when not only has it been found necessary to send down a special commission to inspire terror and promptly bring the bloodthirsty offenders to justice; but, above all, when more than one grand jury have recorded their doubts respecting the efficiency of the present police system, it certainly cannot be an ill chosen opportunity to place before the public some accounts of those mis deeds which at a former period disgraced and paralysed the greater part of the province of Munster, and-which were then put down by the effective and strong exertions of the local magistrates, many of whom still live, and still possess the powers of their youth, powers which they would doubtless display, if properly called on to exhibit them. The gentlemen who now honourably hold the commission of the peace in Limerick, Clare, and Tip petary, are men of undoubted courage, energy, and intelligence. An appeal to them would at once arouse them and though (perhaps from personal attachment) I believe I never saw so clever, so wonderful an officer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John M. Synge: A Few Personal Recollections, With Biographical Notes I first met John M.Synge at the room of a common friend, up two pairs of stairs, in an old house in Bloomsbury, on a Monday night of January, 1903. When I entered the room, he was sitting in a rush-bottomed chair, talking to a young man just down from Oxford. My host introduced me, with the remark that he wanted us to know each other. Synge stood up to shake hands with me. He was of the middle height, about five feet eight or nine. My first impression of him was of a dark, grave face, with a great deal in it, changing from the liveliness of conversation to a gravity of scrutiny. After we had shaken hands, I passed to the other end of the room to greet other friends. We did not speak to each other again that night. When I sat at the other end of the room my chair was opposite Synge's chair. Whenever I raised my eyes I saw him, and wondered who he could be.
