Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last of the Irish Chiefs It was in the early years of the reign of the first James of England, when for the first time in her long and chequered history Ireland unwillingly acknowledged herself a conquered nation. The long, bloody wars of Elizabeth were over - wars which had shaken that proud princess on her throne, and reduced Ireland to a kingdom of carcases and ashes. Peace then fell on the land - the profound peace of exhaustion. King James, like many another tyrant, began his reign well. In this lull after a mighty storm, the old were fain to rest, the young to hope; and in this lull, so soon to be rudely and terribly disturbed, our story opens. It was a still, mild night in February, 1607. On that night all the windows of Buncrana Castle were ablaze with brilliant light; guests in splendid attire sauntered about the castle courts an 1 passages, laughing, jesting, or lovemaking, as fancy led them; the servants, flitting constantly hither and thither, and the vassals who thronged the approaches to the castle were all in holiday dress. Within and without was the sound of joyous bustle and merrymaking. Never before had the stately old fortress by Lough Swilly witnessed such splendid rejoicings, although the occasion was one which ancient Irish custom never permitted to pass without suitable jubilations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Chiefs of Dunboy: Or an Irish Romance of the Last Century On the right bank of the Loire, two miles below the town of Nantes, there stood in the middle of the last century the extensive premises of the firm of Messrs. Blake and Delany, Irish exiles who had been naturalized in France, and were carrying on a large business there as merchants and ship owners. The relations between the great countries of Europe were generally unsettled. The normal condition was war. In the intervals of nominal peace the seas continued insecure. The privateer of one year glided by an easy transition into the pirate of the next, and the pirate when war broke out again recovered by a letter of marque his position as a legitimate belligerent. The traders had to depend upon themselves for the defence of their property. Their ships went armed, and the yards where they were fitted out wore the appearance of naval arsenals. The enterprises of Messrs. Blake and Delany might be inferred from the aspect of their stores to have been of an exceptionally dangerous character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Ireland: Her Milesian Chiefs, Her Kings and Princes Her Great Men, Her Struggles for Liberty; Her Apostle St. Patrick; Her Religion Very Reverend Dear Sir, I take leave to dedicate to you, whose friendship it has been my pride to enjoy for many years, this poor effort of my pen in behalf of Ireland, her language, and religion. It has been usual with authors to seek out what are termed great names, to whom to dedicate their works: I have not been singular in this respect, as I have selected the name of one, whose untiring exertions in the cause of charity and temperance have ranked him amongst the greatest benefactors of the human family. It is not titles nor riches that confer elevation - these may be, and are, often possessed by the most worthless and degenerate. It is moral worth confers dignity; not dignity, worth. In you, then, I behold that worth which, in my mind, constitutes the great and good man. Hence I have taken the liberty of dedicating this unpretending work to you, whose zeal for our old language is surpassed only by that for religion and temperance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Image of Irelande: With a Discouerie of Woodkarne Roses, the English power in Ireland was so much weakened, that the Irish chiefs began to repossess themselves of their former inheritances, and their old system of government in clans, or separate small tribes was revived throughout a great part of the land. One of the results of this home rule was that they made war upon each other, and upon the English settlers, killing or driving away each other's cattle, and refusing obedience to any authority.
