Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Celts: A Cyclopedia of Race History, Containing Biographical Sketches of More Than Fifteen Hundred Distinguished Irish Celts, With a Chronological Index The records of most people are embraced within a national aspect, and they have affected the worlds history and their own destiny mainly in their aggregate capacity; but the history of this race, the lives of a few of whose children this work records, is an exception. It is in the lives of her children, scattered throughout the entire earth either by zeal or necessity, for a thousand years, more, perhaps, than in the history of its island home, that we must seek the glory and the achievements of a gallant race; the most maligned, misunderstood and robbed, as to credit and character, of any $at history records. It has not only been the misfortune or destiny of this race to be robbed in every conceivable way and then slandered and oppressed by the robber at home, and this resulting not from any want of valor, ability or manly spirit to defend their own, but only circumvented by treachery, deceit, perjury and fraud; but when away from home, carving out by unequaled valor and matchless ability, a new destiny, and creating new nations, still robbed as a race, of the credit and name of the work of their hands. You have lost America by the Irish, rang out from the lips of a British Statesman in the Imperial Parliament, as a warning to the Government of the results of its Irish policy about the time that glorious achievement was accomplished; and is it not a glaring fact, to-day, -that there is not a colony of Great Britain, of any importance, that its Irish Celts might not proclaim independent it unitedly they willed it; and even in England herself, the descendants of the Irish Celt are numerous enough to shake the foundations of its Government to their centre, if circumstances called forth such an effort? Few Americans seem to know how true was that declaration quoted above, as to the loss of America through the Irish. It is true that the historians of the Revolution do not proclaim that fact out loud, but an examination of the records of the arm! fully sustains it, and we have the unimpeachable testimony of Joseph Galloway, of Pennsylvania, before a committee of the Imperial Parliament, during the progress of the war (1780) to the same effect.
