Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from O'brennan's Antiquities, Vol. 1 My first intention I have given up and now beg to offer my countrymen the history of Ireland in two volumes the research used to produce, my first work gave all the materials, necessary for the carrying out of my new plan. Each is complete in itself, and the arrangement, I trust, will be found satisfactory. The First Volume, Antient Ireland and St. Patrick, is nearly a new work, most of the notes being remodeled, with much fresh historical matter introduced, gleaned from the best authorities, and all errors guarded against. Into the first edition a few crept, which could be scarcely prevented in a work, so critical of arrangement, and for the matter of which so many authors were necessarily to be consulted. To Ancient Ireland are now added several pages on Irish Round Towers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miscellany of the Irish Archaeological Society, Vol. 1 The object of the Miscellany of the Irish Archaeological Society is to preserve such smaller documents illustrative of the history and antiquities of Ireland, as, from their size, are unfitted for separate publication. Members of the Society, and all who are interested in historical pursuits, particularly the heads of the ancient Irish and Anglo-Irish families, are invited to contribute to the future volumes of this work. Almost all old families are in possession of curious deeds, ancient wills, letters, and other documents of the kind here published, which are often the only existing records of historical facts, and are always useful to the historian in fixing dates, filling up defects in genealogies, &c., to say nothing of the illustration they afford of ancient, perhaps obsolete, manners and customs. The Council of the Irish Archaeological Society indulge the hope that the nobility and gentry of Ireland will recognize the value of the present work by contributing to its pages such deeds, letters, &c., as they may deem worthy of preservation. The Council will thankfully receive and carefully return all original papers and documents which may be intrusted to the Secretary for this purpose. Every contributor to the pages of the Miscellany shall be entitled to one or more copies of the volume to which he has contributed, according to the number and value of his contributions, as determined by the Council.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wakeman's Handbook of Irish Antiquities It has been too much the custom in the past to look upon Ireland as being especially favoured with a wealth of antiquities, Pagan and Christian, more or less indigenous to the soil, and independent of the successive waves of influences sweeping from the _mediterranean littoral, and from Central Europe, ever westward and northward. Light can be thrown on problems still unsolved only by following the more scientific method of inquiry pursued, and by applying to them the knowledge gained in the wider field of European research.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Ireland, Vol. 1: The Heroic Period I had intended at first to let my book explain itself, but as I reflect on the unusualness of its form and character, I feel the advantages which would be derived from some introductory matter. If I appear sometimes to travel over ground covered by the text itself, this must be my excuse. It is a common-place that the true function of the historian is to give a clear and vivid picture of the past; but, although the principle is recognised in theory, it is practically set aside, and pure historical composition relegated to the novelist and romancer, whose audience, as they desire merely amusement, make no very stern demands on the veracity and historical faithfulness of the writer. In fact, the province of archaeology has so extended its frontiers, as to have swallowed up the dominion of pure history altogether. Nearly every work which one takes up affecting to treat of the past in a rigid and conscientious spirit, is merely archaeological.

Download or read book The History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by William Carrigan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory, Vol. 1 T HE Diocese, of which these volumes are the record, is a Diocese which presents to the student of history some remarkable characteristics and contrasts. Its Founder, St. Kieran, is called in our ecclesiastical annals, Hibernia: Sanctorum primogenitus. According to the opinion universally received amongst Irish historians up to the time of Lanigan, he was one of the four pre-patrician saints who first introduced Christianity into Ireland. But whether this be so or not, it is fairly certain that he began and ended his career as Bishop within the fifth century of our era, and thus was a contemporary of our national apostle, St. Patrick. It would appear he had royal blood in his veins, for he is said to have descended by his father from the Kings of Ossory. Ossory was a territory of ancient Ireland long before the Gospel was preached here, which embraced, roughly speaking, about the third part of the Queen's County and nearly the whole of the present County Kilkenny. St. Kieran preached the Gospel to his kinsmen and won them, rulers and all, to the Christian faith. His Diocese was called by the name of the clan, was practically co-extensive with the civil division called Ossory, and continues to this day, in its name and extent, almost exactly what it was when founded and left by him at his death. No other Diocese in our country appears to enjoy these distinctions with the exception of royal Meath, which, too, claims to be called after an ancient Irish kingdom, and to be coincident with it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The O'donoghue, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of Ireland Fifty Years Ago; To Which Is Added a Rent in a Cloud It was no new thing to me to know the Irish peasant in his character of a hoarder and a saver. There is no one trait so indicative of the Celt as acquisitiveness, nor does Eastern story contain a man more given to the castle-building that grows out of some secret hoard however small - than Paddy. He is to add half an acre to his potato garden, or to buy another pig, or to send the gossoon to a school in the town, or to pay his passage to New York. This tendency to construct a future, so strong in the Irish nature, has its rise in a great reliance on what he feels to be the goodness of God a firm conviction that all his struggles are watched and cared for, and that every little turn of good fortune has been given him by some especial favor, lies deep in his nature, and suggests an amount of hope to him which a less sanguine spirit could never have conceived.
