Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish History Reader The climate of Ireland is mild and healthful. The prevailing winds are from the west and south west, and the average rainfall reaches nearly forty inches. The soil is so fertile, that it is capable of, producing the necessaries of life for a very much larger population than its present one of Owing to the general humidity of the atmosphere the fields are ever green, hence the country is often styled the Emerald Isle. Most of the mountains are situated along the coast, the highest being in the west and south. From the mountains many rivers, most of them short and rapid, ow in various directions to the sea, and some slower, longer, and of greater volume, draw off the surplus waters of the lakes. Internal navigation, however, is hindered by falls and rapids. Over acres of bog form a dreary feature of the central plain. The western sea coast, broken up by the force of the Atlantic, is formed into hundreds of bays and creeks, many running far inland; but in some parts, as at the Cliffs of Moher in Clare County, the coast presents for miles an unbroken front of rock to the ceaseless fury of the waves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Irish History My idea, in compiling this book, was to get away from "the blood and scalding tears" as much as possible, to avoid the horrible and gruesome, those detestable cruelties and inhumanities which have too long made Irish History a nightmare to all, which must fill the minds of even adult readers with sickening horror and bitter resentment, and the recapitulation of which to-day can serve no good purpose, but merely keep alive racial hatreds. I have sought, on the other hand, to display in the most glowing colours all the romance and glory bound up in the history of a land which, I assert, is perhaps more entitled to be called one of romance than any other on the face of the earth, and that from earliest times up to the present. And my object in doing so is to awaken a deep and true love of our country and her heroic past in the hearts of the rising generation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish History for English Readers, From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Year 1885 The sea-board inhabitants had acquired great skill in ship building, and in the manufacture of weapons the Scotti nearly equalled the Romans, whose inﬂuence in Britain and Gaul was very beneficial to Erin. Among other arts learned from the Romans was that of building with the aid of mortar, and the presence of mortar in their construction proves the Irish round towers to have been built after the Roman colonisation of Britain. The purpose of these round towers is not known. Some antiquarians hold them to be Christian belfries, but they were probably connected with heathen rites of fire worship. There are in Ireland, as in England, many cromlechs and other Druidic remains of early temples and tombs built before the use of mortar was introduced; among these are funeral piles so vast, and composed of such huge blocks of stone, that they can only be compared to the Egyptian pyramids. Stone and mortar were used only for buildings intended to last for ever; dwelling-houses were of wrought wood, usually oak, and consisted for the most part of one apartment with a dome-shaped roof, in the middle of which there was a space for the smoke to escape. But long before the days of St. Patrick, the houses of the great nobles contained seven or eight rooms, besides separate halls for feasting and for the various members of the chieftain's family.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Orators: A History of Ireland's Fight for Freedom It would have been unfortunate if the author of this volume had not placed it in the hands of the public. His demand and success 0.3 a public speaker upon Irish topics led him to a deep study of the history of that glorious nation, and the deeper he studied the more fascinated ho became. His work is imbued with the spirit of his own researches and in turn fascinates the reader. Among the great men who pass in review, Daniel O'Connell is given high place and justly so, for he was a most worthy leader of the people for over a generation. His preeminence recalls the estimation of him held by the Count de Montalembert who said that O'Connell was the finest orator whom he had listened to, or whose works he had read. The reader will find this valuable contribution to the story of Ireland's greatness impartial, instructive and interesting and of such appeal that he will not be satisfied until he reads to the end.

The king's room was in the front of the house, and was long enough for thirty warriors. It was ornamented with silver and bronze, and carbuncles and precious stones, so that day and night were equally light therein. A gong Of silver hung behind the king, suspended from the roof-tree, and when he struck it with his silver wand with three silver apples, all the men of Ulster were silent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland's Story: A Short History of Ireland for Schools, Reading Circles, and General Readers "Ireland's Story" has been written not as a record of the dead past, but as a beacon for the living future. It is inspired by a belief in the Irish race, now spread far beyond its island home, through many lands, beneath many skies. The Irish race has a great part to play in the history of the future; and present and future can be understood only by a knowledge of the past. The story of Ireland may be viewed in many ways. First, as a part of universal history: its ancient traditions are rich and full of clues to the races of the early world; its archaic treasures are abundant; its old stone monuments wonderfully preserved. In illumining the shadowy dawn of early Europe, and especially of those northern lands whose children now lead the world, no country can aid us so much as Ireland. Then we must reckon Ireland's early heroic poems and tales, ampler than those of any European land, save only Greece and Italy, and giving us the truest and richest picture of the archaic life of Europe, still untouched by Greece and Rome. The great personages of the Irish epics stand out as clear as the heroic figures who fought around Troy, or the inspired leaders of Attica and Sparta and the City of the Seven Hills. Next comes Ireland's part in the Drama of Faith. Ireland may well be called the new Ark of the Covenant; for in the little western isle was stored up the treasure of the Gospel, brought thither first by Patrick.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction The present guide TO irish fiction is intended by the author as the first part of a work in which it is hoped to furnish notes on books of all kinds dealing with Irish subjects. Before explaining the scope of this section of the work it may be well, in order to forestall wrong impressions, to say at once what it is not. In the first place, then, it does not lay claim to be a bibliography. By this I do not mean that I am content to be inaccurate or haphazard, but simply that I do not aim at exhaustive completeness. In the second place, it is not a catalogue of books by Irish writers. Lastly, it does not deal exclusively with books printed or published in Ireland. The author's aim has been to get together and to print in a convenient form a classified list of novels, tales, etc. (whether by Irish or by foreign writers), bearing on Ireland - that is, depicting some phase of Irish life or some episode of Irish history - and to append to each title a short descriptive note. Two things here call for some explanation, viz., the list of titles and the descriptive notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is generally accepted that what we now possess is the growth of family or tribal histories, which, from being transmitted down, from generation to generation, give us fair accounts of actual events. The Tales that are here given are only a few out of very many hundreds embedded in the vast quantity of Old Gaelic manuscripts hidden away in the libraries of nearly all the countries of Europe, as well as those that are treasured in the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin. An idea of the extent of these manuscripts may be gained by the statement of one, who perhaps had the fullest knowledge of them - the late Professor O'Curry, - in which he says that the portion of them (so far as they have been examined) relating to Historical Tales would extend to upwards of 4000 pages of large size.
