Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 1 of 4 It will naturally be expected, upon a new issue of works which may be said to treat ex elusively of a people who form such an im portant and interesting portion of the empire as the Irish peasantry do, that the author should endeavour to prepare the minds of his readers - especially those of the English and Scotch for understanding more clearly their general character, habits of thought, and modes of feel ing, as they exist and are depicted in the subse quent volumes. This is a task which the author undertakes more for the sake of his country than himself; and he rejoices that the demand for the present edition puts it in his power to aid in re moving many absurd prej udices which have existed for time immemorial against his country men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 1 of 3 With respect to the contents of this Second Series, the Author has only to observe, that the volumes constituting the First Series had an excellent sale, considering that they were of Irish manufacture. They are now in a third edition, and much of their success may probably be ascribed to the fact of their never having been puffed; for no man excites more notice than he who runs counter to the fashion. It was, therefore, the brisk sale of the First Series, joined to a vacancy in the Author's purse, which he felt rather anxious to have filled up, that induced him to bring out the present work. He hopes it may succeed as well as the other; but that it may succeed better, is a wish due to the worthy and liberal Publisher who brings it out.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 3 of 4 About three years before the time of this story, there came two men with their families to reside in the upper village, and the house which they chose as a residence was one at some distance from those which composed the little group we have just been describing. They said their name was Meehan, although the general report went, that this was not true; that the name was an assumed one, and that some dark mystery, which none could penetrate, shrouded their history and character. They were cer tainly remarkable men. The elder, named An thouy, was a dark, black-browed person, stern in his manner, and atrociously cruel in his dis position. His form was Herculean, his bones strong and hard as iron, and his sinews stood out in undeniable evidence of a life hitherto spent in severe toil and exertion, to bear which he appeared to an amazing degree capable. His brother Denis was a small man, less savage and daring in his character, and consequently more vacillatin g and cautious than Anthony; for the points in which he resembled him were superinduced upon his natural disposition by the close connexion that subsisted between them, and by the identity of their former pur suits in life, which, beyond doubt, had been such as could not bear investigation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 1 of 2 For this reason, at such times, it is not at all nu usual to see the elders of Irish families touched by pa thos as well as humour. The Irish are a people whose affections are as strong as their imaginations arc vivid and, in illustration of this, we may add, that many a time have we seen them raised to mirth and melted into tears almost at the same time, by a song of the most comic character. The mirth, however, was for the song, and the sorrow for the memory of some he loved relation who had been remarkable for singing it, or with whom it had been a favourite.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 2 The Englishman, whom we will call the historian in swearing, will depose to the truth of this or that fact but there the line is drawn: he swears his oath so far as he knows, and stands still. I m sure, for my part, I don't know I 've said all I knows about it, and beyond this his besotted intellect goeth not. The Scotchman, on the other hand, who is the metaphysician in swearing, sometimes borders on equivocation. He decidedly goes far ther than the Englishman, not because he has less honesty, but more prudence. He will assent to, or deny a proposition for the English man's I don't know, and the Scotchman's I dinna ken, are two very distinct assertions when properly understood. The former stands out a monument of dulness, an insuperable barrier against inquiry, ingenuity, and fancy; but the latter frequently stretches itself so as to embrace hypothetically a particular opinion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 4 of 4 HE following story owes nothing to any colouring or invention of mine; it is unhappily a true one, and to me possesses a peculiar and melancholy interest, arising from my intimate knowledge of the man whose fate it holds up as a moral lesson to Irish landlords. I knew him well, and many a day and hour have I played about his knee, and ran, in my boyhood, round his path, when, as he said himself, the world was no trouble to him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 2 of 4 In mentioning my grandfather's fight with Mucklemurray, I happened to name them blackguards the o'hallaghans: hard fortune to the same set, for they have no more disere tion in their quarrels than so many Egyptian mummies, African buffoons, or any other uncivilised animals. It was one of them, he that's married to my own fourth cousin, Biddy o'callaghan, that knocked two of my grinders out, for which piece of civility I have just had the satisfaction of breaking a splinter or two in his carcase, being always honestly disposed to pay my debts.
