Home Life in Ireland (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Home Life in Ireland I wish to thank Mrs N. F. Dryhurst and Mr J. W. Good for the help they gave me at various points while I was writing this book - help all the more generous because neither of them is likely to agree with all I say. Padraic O Coin ceannain will perhaps recognise something like the echo Of his voice in one of the chapters. Mr and Mrs Robert Steen may not see the image Of their kindness reflected in these pages, but it is none the less there, for it was in their house and in the house at Killure that I received the most abundant hospitality I have known, and was initiated into the friendship of country people and places.

Ireland and the Home Rule Movement (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Ireland and the Home Rule Movement The great tendency which has been so marked a feature of Irish life in the course of the last decade to turn the attention of the people towards efforts at self improvement and the development of self-reliance without regard to English aid, English neglect, or English Opinion, excellent though it has been in every other respect, has had this one drawback - that there has grown up a generation of Englishmen, well intentioned towards our country, to whom the problems of Irish Government are an unknown quantity. The ignorance of Irish affairs in England is due partly to ourselves, but also to a natural heed lessness arising from distance and preoccupation with problems with which Englishmen are more intimately concerned.

Some Time in Ireland


Book Description

Excerpt from Some Time in Ireland: A Recollection Writers professing to describe social and family life in Ireland have mostly selected their types from roistering squires or ruined country gentlemen. My aim is to depict, from the vivid recollections of my earlier years and from my later experience, views, feelings, habits, and principles, more really and truly characteristic of the gentry of Ireland.

Dromana


Book Description

Excerpt from Dromana: The Memoirs of an Irish Family These memoirs connected with the Old house Of Dromana, have been gathered together in a great measure for the sake of making a link between the past generations to whom Dromana has descended in un broken succession for 500 years, and generations yet to be born whose history and continuity no mortal may predict. However, though these memoirs were first begun with the idea of their being only a simple family history so much that is of general interest centres round them, I now venture to hope that a larger circle than I first sought to interest will like to read this unpretentious sketch of Irish History that has come into existence, as it were, almost in an unpremeditated way.

Irish Life and Character (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Irish Life and Character I hope I have achieved the object which I have had in view in writing this book, namely, to give a clear, full and faithful picture of Irish life and character, illustrated by anecdotes and by my own recollections and experiences during a twelve years' connection with Irish journalism. Hitherto no attempt has been made to do for Ireland what Dean Ramsay, in his ever popular Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character, has done so well for Scotland. There is no complete collection of real, genuine Irish anecdotes which throw light on the character, customs, manners, and ways of thought of the Irish people.
