Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contention of the Bards, Vol. 1 Irish Scholars and Irish Historians have been long wishing for a critical edition of the Contention of the Bards. They felt it a shame and a loss that no considerable body of Bardic poetry should exist in print, and they thought it especially desirable that the Contention, which caused such a stir in the Ireland of the early 17th century, should be rescued from the precarious keeping of manuscripts.

Download or read book Bards and Saints Classic Reprint written by William Kirkpatrick Magee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bards and Saints That reason has remained an outcast from the family of European nations, inheritors and preservers of the Promethean fire; nor has the nationality of the anglo-irish, with whom it chiefly rested to make it, as the heirs of a superior culture. All the elements of nation ality exist in Ireland, yet until a discovery of this kind has connected Irish nationalism with universal and essential interests, a share in Irish national aspirations will continue to be, not the neccessary mark of a good citizen, but rather, at best, a development of good nature or special circumstances. It is by a thought movement rather than by a language movement that Ireland will have to show that it holds the germs of true nationality. The cry of nationalism, in the traditional sense of the word, has now, it is to be feared, a belated sound. The day of nations - those imposing entities the report of whose doings still casts a glamour over the daily papers, those Titan friends of humanity each one of which has had its peculiar part.in carrying forward the human cause - the day of nations, we have begun to suspect, is passing away. The day of those institutions for which we have at present no more high-sounding names than local self-government, municipal trade, international arbitration, and' the like, is already in progrm - the period which from the point of view of the consummations of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Insurgents, Vol. 1 of 2: An Historical Novel A great many people, who are not wiser than a great many of their contemporaries, pretend in our day, as others have done before them, that sensible men should not waste their time in writing or reading novels or romances; and condemn the whole litera ture of the whole world of fiction, as entirely useless, if not pernicious! To enter into a grave refutation of such an absurdity, would be almost as great an ab surdity as to utter it. There is one answer to all such precious nonsense, which is conclusive; and one is as good as a thousand. We must seek for amusement in this world, as well as instruction, and that which the young or old find in books, of any class, will ever prove, not only the most harmless, but the cheapest of all their pleasures. So that if you come to the utili tarian view of the subject, the weight of the argument is in favour of that species of literature. Any writer, therefore, who succeeds in filrnishing a work of thatdescription, from which we derive amusement, (with out ofi'ence to taste or morals, of course, ) has rendered his reader a service. If he have not succeeded, so much the worse for him, but even then the gentle reader should, methinks, pardon his author a little dulness in favour of his good intentions.

She was so near, and yet so far, and in striving to reach her he overbalanced himself, and fell upon a cluster of maidens of tender years, who howled dismally, while the cane succeeded in doing no more than poking the crown of the offender's bonnet in! We did not smile, and papa could detect no unseemly mirth on our faces when he glanced sharply up and down our pew, for we have by long practice acquired the art of laughing inwardly, and can be in ecstasies of amusement without moving a muscle of our countenances.

I was a poor-looking weed, Whom no physical culture, however salutary, could warm into healthfulness; a pale, ah stracted book-worm, with dark-browed deep seated eyes, which saw no fairer object than a musty classic. A halt in my gait, and a ditfi culty of utterance, occasioned, not by mal formation of the articulating organs, but by sheer fright at finding myself talking, increased to very painfulness my constitutional shyness and reserve.
