Book Description
Excerpt from Bards and Saints For the sarcasm of those who, not without some justification, call their own division of the population Irish Ireland and the Anglo Irishman west-british. As he Stands in this uneasy situation, the first overture from the Celtic hinterland comes to him in the proposal that he Should join in reinstating the ancient language of the country, and, at the risk of seeming a little ridiculous, he has felt constrained of late to give some attention to the matter. Strictly speaking, it is not for language and literature, but rather for the thews and sinews of nationality, that we Should look to the peasantry: on the contrary, it is fitting that the peasantry should have the language of a superior culture imposed upon them. Where the peasantry, or the main body of a population, receives that superior culture and civilization, the product is a genuine nation ality and however defiantly both Grattan and Parnell may have vociferated that Ireland is a nation, it has never been one in this sense. An indigenous culture, or an inner life of some kind, is that which gives individuality to a people. The true justification of the claim to nationality is nothing more or less than the discovery of the possibilities of human nature in a community of which the geographical situation is sufficiently favourable - a discovery which has never been made in Ireland. The old Celtic nationality has not made it, and for. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Bittern, Vol. 1 He eyed me curiously for a moment, then strutted around to the other side of the bog and peered at me from his concealment. Satisfying himself that he was in no imme diate danger, he half walked, half flew, to his morning meal again. But as soon as I took another step forward he flew off, and I did not see him again.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Insurgents, Vol. 1 of 2: An Historical Novel A great many people, who are not wiser than a great many of their contemporaries, pretend in our day, as others have done before them, that sensible men should not waste their time in writing or reading novels or romances; and condemn the whole litera ture of the whole world of fiction, as entirely useless, if not pernicious! To enter into a grave refutation of such an absurdity, would be almost as great an ab surdity as to utter it. There is one answer to all such precious nonsense, which is conclusive; and one is as good as a thousand. We must seek for amusement in this world, as well as instruction, and that which the young or old find in books, of any class, will ever prove, not only the most harmless, but the cheapest of all their pleasures. So that if you come to the utili tarian view of the subject, the weight of the argument is in favour of that species of literature. Any writer, therefore, who succeeds in filrnishing a work of thatdescription, from which we derive amusement, (with out ofi'ence to taste or morals, of course, ) has rendered his reader a service. If he have not succeeded, so much the worse for him, but even then the gentle reader should, methinks, pardon his author a little dulness in favour of his good intentions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Comin' Thro' the Rye, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel Last Sunday he made a faur pas, for, being at the back of the gallery, and spying the unmannerly conduct of an obstreperous purple-cheeked lass in the first row, he leant forward to take summary vengeance on the same, but alas! She was so near, and yet so far, and in striving to reach her he overbalanced himself, and fell upon a cluster of maidens of tender years, who howled dismally, while the cane succeeded in doing no more than poking the crown of the offender's bonnet in! We did not smile, and papa could detect no unseemly mirth on our faces when he glanced sharply up and down our pew, for we have by long practice acquired the art of laughing inwardly, and can be in ecstasies of amusement without moving a muscle of our countenances.
