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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Irish Peasantry 'It's what I wanted to spake to your honour about, ' said Sandy Donovan, who had entered my cousin's breakfast-room, and made her his best bow; 'it's what I wanted, my lady, is the lend of a loan of two-and-sixpence, if it would be plasing to ye; and I'll work it out in any way convenient - either in going messages to the squire, or anywhere else in the three kingdoms at a moment's notice; or taking a hand at the knives, whin Misther Langan, or Mike, or the footboy himself, has no mind to be dirting their hands wid their work, and yer honour wanting them to be clane before the quality; or driving the cows home, if the ould cowboy would be sick, or "overtaken," which will happen to any, let alone a boy of his years; or - but to be sure, ' added Sandy, after a pause, as if to give weight to some peculiarly onerous service he was about to proffer - 'to be sure, yer honour nor the masther are never in trouble that way, like yer neighbours - if you war, bedad! there isn't a boy in the barony would bate the bailiffs wid greater joy than myself! - and Sandy's eyes brightened, and his hand grasped more firmly the handle of his good shillala; he looked what he really was, a fine handsome gay-hearted 'boy' of about nineteen - certainly not twenty. 'Well, Sandy, ' replied my cousin, smiling, 'I will lend you the half-crown; and you shall repay it me, not in labour - for I require my servants to do their own work but in money.' 'Och, ma'am dear, that's hard upon me intirely. I'd rather work it out.' 'But isn't your time your money? Cannot you sell that time to some other person, and discharge your debt out of the produce?'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales for Cottagers: Accomodated to the Present Condition of the Irish Peasantry 'jem only answered, that a rolling stone gathers no moss, that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and that when one is well, it is better to let well alone. Indeed though Stephen was a young lad, he did not like chang ing often, and he was of Jem's mind, when he ad vised him to wait till Morgan was settled in busi ness for himself, and his own time was served, before he should accept of his brother's offer. Morgan found Dublin the place to his mind, for when he had disobliged one master-carpenter, he told a plausible story to another, and was hired; and when he was tired of working, he found plenty of company who were willing to be idle with him. One day he walked out into the country, then went to the play; another day he saw curious sights, and then regaled himself at a porter-house and when all his money was run out, he returned to his work. But this kind of changeable life is not calculated to make a man fond of work, or of any kind of steady, sober conduct. It also in jured his health, which had formerly been good, when his meals and his work came in due course.

This book was released on 2017-02 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry Honest, blustering, good-humoured Ned was the indefatigable mer chant of the village ever engaged in some ten or twenty pound speculation, the capital of which he was sure to extort, perhaps for the twelfth time, from the savings of Nancy's frugality, by the equivocal test of a month or six weeks' consecutive sobriety, and which said speculation he never failed to wind up by the total loss of the capital for Nancy, and the capital loss of a broken head for himself. Ned had eternally some bargain on his hands at one time you might see him a yarn-merchant, planted in the next market-town, upon the upper step of Mr. Birnie's hall-door, where the yarn-market was held, sur rounded by a crowd of eager countrywomen, anxious to give Ned the preference - first, because he was a well-wisher secondly, because he hadn't his heart in the penny and thirdly, because he gave Sixpence a spangle more than any other man in the market. There might Ned be found, with his twenty pounds of hard silver singling in the bottom of a green bag as a decoy to his customers, laughing loud as he piled the yarn in an ostentatious heap, whir h, in the pride of his commercial sagacity, he had purchased at a dead 1035. Again, you might see him at a horse-fair, cantering about on the back of some sleek but broken-winded jade, with spavined legs, imposed on him as a great bargain entirely, by the superior cunning of some rustic sharper or standing over a hogshead of damaged fiaxseed, in the purchase of which he shrewdly suspected himself of having over reached the seller, by allowing him for it a greater price than the prime seed of the market would have cost him. In short, Ned was never out of a speculation, and whatever he undertook was sure to prove a complete failure. But he had one mode of consolation, which consisted in sitting down with the fag-ends of Nancy's capital in his pocket, and drinking night and day with this neighbour and that, whilst a shilling remained and when he found himself at the end of his tether, he was sure to fasten a quarrel on some friend or acquaint ance, and to get his head broken for his pains.
