Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lighter Side of Irish Life Mr. W. B. Yeats, who IS A wit AS well as a poet, once found himself called upon to discuss the opinion which the English people have formed of the Irish. They insist, he said, in presenting us with all the good qualities which they do not want for themselves. For instance, they will have it that we are an island of saints. The saying is two-edged, cutting deep into the self-satisfaction of English and Irish alike. For the English, so Mr. Yeats seems to think, admire saintliness only in other peoples, while the Irish, so he went on to ex plain, have a glory thrust on them which they by no means deserve. I am not sure that Mr. Yeats' example is the best he could have chosen. I seldom meet English people who insist much on our saintliness. They are more inclined to credit us with a kind of non-moral Puckishness of nature, a mischievous irresponsibility for which they do not blame us, though they find it inconvenient. But Mr. Yeats' general prin ciple is quite unassailable. The English are al ways most generous in endowing us with ami.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Irish Life, Vol. 1 of 3 It has been always impressed on my mind, that I ought to write for the Irish, as well as for the English, reader; with this feeling I have never hesitated to exhibit and condemn in my countrymen and countrywomen, that which I considered wrong and capable of alteration. To praise is always easy - to censure, seldom agree able; if I have, at times, seemed to adhere but slightly.to the old caution, be to their faults a little blind, I trust it cannot be said of me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Life and Character The face of Ireland, as seen in these pages, is always puckered with a smile. I think I have shown that the world-wide reputation for humour, conscious and unconscious, which the Irish people enjoy is well founded. But I should be dis appointed if the book were regarded simply as a collection of droll stories. I hope it will lead to a better understanding by other nationalities of the characteristics of the Irish race; to a wider recognition and appreciation of their many good qualities, to a kindlier tolerance of their faults and follies, which are mainly due to the chequered history of the race, - to the wayward circumstances of their unhappy past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carleton's Stories of Irish Life I have written many works on Irish life, and up to the present day the man has never lived who could lay his finger on any passage of my writings, and say, That is false.' Truth is something more than a verbal or factual accuracy, and it is never his accuracy that is in question. In reading through the mass of his many works on Irish life, the bewilderment lies, not in any falsity (his knowledge was too intimate for that), but in the changing standpoints from which he told his truth, in his progress round the many possible stand points, and the curious aspect the standpoint of to-day suddenly came to wear when viewed from the standpoint of to-morrow.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Irish Life, Vol. 3 of 3 It is lucky for me that I was not born of the sex which is acknowledged as pre-eminent in the creation. Had I been one of the dignitaries of human nature, I should not have dared to hazard an opinion upon Irish Pride, unless, indeed, I was tired of existence, and willing to submit myself to the laws of honour: so that ray life might be "satisfactorily" disposed of - a sacrifice to appease the exceeding wrath which the bare mention of such a subject is likely to excite amongst my countrymen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Irish Life The following Tales, with others, were written many years ago, before I became a resident of Hongkong, and when I had more leisure to devote to literary pursuits than I have since had; they were all, however, written more or less hurriedly in fact, during intervals between the hours of professional duty, usually devoted to exercise and relaxation. All of them, save The Story of an Orange Lodge, appeared from time to time in periodicals of the day. The story named was published in a separate volume in 1864; my object in writing it being, to decry the Orange Confederation, which I then thought, and still consider, a senseless and mischievous organization, alike disgraceful to its members as to Ireland. Conscious as I am of all their faults and 1mper fections, I have reproduced some of these tales in this volume, for private circulation only: they serve to recall younger and happier days, and should their perusal afford the reader a small share of the pleasure their production has given me, I shall be well repaid for my trouble.
