This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on the Condition of the People of Ireland The letters which form this book were written during a tour of five months over nearly every part of Ireland, and were first published at intervals in The Times newspaper, immediately after they were written, in the period between August, 1845, and January, 1846. The letters were originally written in consequence of a commission offered to me, by that great public journal, which I undertook to perform, to lay before the public, in a readable form, my impressions during a tour through Ireland, and to state what, of the many prevailing opinions and anomalies, on careful observation, appeared to me to be the true condition of the Irish people. In undertaking this duty, I was unshackled and undirected by any further instructions whatever. In the course of its fulfilment, I conceived it to be desirable, not only to depict the actual condition of the Irish people, but to examine into the causes which led to that condition, and to suggest, as I proceeded, what appeared to me to be the most feasible remedies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Ireland These Letters were communicated to the Daily News' during my journey in Ireland this last autumn. A reprint of them, as a volume, has been asked for, and I now obey the call. My readers will take them for what they are - a rapid account of impressions received and thoughts excited from day to day, in the course of a journey of above 1200 miles. I have thought it best not to alter them, either in form or matter. There would be no use in attempting to give anything of the character of a closet-book to letters written sometimes in a coffee-room, sometimes in the crowded single parlour of a country inn, - now to the sound of the harp, and now to the clatter of knives and forks, and scarcely ever within reach of books therefore have I left untouched what I wrote, even to the no tices of passing incidents as if they were still present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Disturbed Ireland: Being the Letters Written During the Winter of 1880-81 Having been most cordially granted permission to republish these letters in a collected form, it is my duty to mention that my mission from the Bail News was absolutely unfettered, either by instructions or introductions. It was thought that an independent and impartial account of the present condition of the disturbed districts of Ireland would be best secured by sending thither a writer without either Irish politics or Irish friends - in short, one who might occupy the stand-point of the too-often-quoted "intelligent foreigner." Hence my little book is purely descriptive of the stirring scenes and deeply interesting people I have met with on my way through the counties of Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork, and Kerry. It is neither a political treatise, nor a dissertation on the tenure of land, but a plain record of my experience of a strange phase of national life.

Download or read book The Letters of the Republic written by Michael Warner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of Michael Warner's book is the rise of a nation. America, he shows, became a nation by developing a new kind of reading public, where one becomes a citizen by taking one's place as writer or reader. At heart, the United States is a republic of letters, and its birth can be dated from changes in the culture of printing in the early eighteenth century. The new and widespread use of print media transformed the relations between people and power in a way that set in motion the republican structure of government we have inherited. Examining books, pamphlets, and circulars, he merges theory and concrete analysis to provide a multilayered view of American cultural development.
Download or read book Letters Speeches and Tracts on Irish Affairs Classic Reprint written by Edmund Burke and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters, Speeches and Tracts on Irish Affairs Who now reads Bolingbroke? Burke once asked; and if the same question were at this day asked in respect to Burke himself, what would be the answer? Certainly not that he is read anything like as much as he deserves to be read. We English make far too little use of our prose classics, - far less than the French make of theirs. The place which a writer like Pascal, for instance, fills in French education, and in the minds of cultivated Frenchmen in general, how different is it from the place which Burke fills in our reading and thoughts, and how much larger! Shakespeare and Milton we are all supposed to know something of; but of none of our prose classics, I think, if we leave stories out of the account, such as are the Pilgrim's Progress and the Vicar of Wakefield, are we expected to have a like knowledge. Perhaps an exception is to be made for Bacon's Essays, but even of this I do not feel sure. Our grandfathers were bound to know their Addison, but for us the obligation has ceased; nor is that loss, indeed, a very serious matter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Niall the Grand and Others, on Irish History, Bulls of Adrian, Etc;, Etc: Dedicated to the Fenians and the Friends of Ireland If he applies the word on religious grounds, I say to him, though by no means willing to play the hypocrite, I believe myself at least as good a Catholic as he. I have nothing to say against the religious portion of Catholicity. It is the creed of every one belonging to me - the creed I was taught at the knees of a loving mother; but with that part of it that has become a political machine, to the injury of my country and its votaries, and would barter their liberty and their lives, i hold no sympathy. When a man combines in his person the character of a politician with that of an expounder and inculcator of Christian precepts and Chris tian virtues - that is, when he uses or rather prostitutes the influence, attached to his' position as moral teacher, in gain ing his own selfish object or in gratifying his vanity, to the detriment of those the faithful guardian of whose interests he pretends to be, Icannot conscientiously approve of his worldly inclination or confide in his interpretation of Chris tian or moral obligations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland, as I Saw It: The Character, Condition, and Prospects of the People You ask me to publish an account of my travels in the Old World, for your gratification, and for the instruction of your children. You flatter me, when you compliment my Letters, and say you want a book written in my peculiar style - plain, familiar, and off-hand, and yet so minute in its details that others may see what I saw, and feel as I felt. You impose on me a difficult task, and one I feel myself incapable of performing to my own satisfaction, much less to yours. Still, I am anxious to please you, and willing to help amuse your children and, knowing that you will be rather generous than critical, I venture to offer you the following pages On Ireland. Whether other volumes, on other countries, will follow it, de pends upon circumstances not Wholly under my control. For this, I bespeak your favorable consideration. The numerous calls upon my time, the duties of my vocation, and the state of my health, have delayed the appearance of the present work, and prevented me from doing little more than fill up my notes, sketched during such leisure moments as I could find while performing my journey. I went to see and learn - to gratify myself and, to refresh my memory in after years, I made as copious notes as possible - jetted down, at the time, such thoughts, impressions, and incidents as occurred to me. I did not take much pains to reckon time or measure proportions, in a way to give minute descriptions. Historical and statistical facts are only introduced to add vivid ness to the pictures drawn. I traveled neither as philosopher, sage, or poet, but simply asa plain republican, curious to see, and anxious to learn all I could, in a given time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of an Irish Catholic Layman: Being an Examination of the Present State of the Irish Affairs in Relation to the Irish Church and the Holy See (1883-4) The conclusion naturally flowing from these premises is this That while the Irish people will go on, as they have every natural and Divine right to do, to conquer the freedom to live in their own way in their own country, the Castle ecclesiastic who has abandoned and opposed them, who in the hour Of supreme struggle has taken sides with the enemy, will have in the new Ireland rapidly being made a very different position from that which he held in the Old. At best he may find, as the French ecclesiastic Of to-day, his ministrations accepted, but himself extruded from the social movements and political life of a country where he might have enjoyed the fulness of his proper influence and authority.
