The head of the name, Donat or DonoughO'Callaghan, who was possessed of large estates and several castles, was distinguished as a member of the Sovereign Council of Kilkenny, and in other posts of the civil magistracy, amongst his countrymen; while, in the national army, of which his brother, Colonel Callaghan O' Callaghan, was a brave and skilful officer, there were, according to Dr. Callaghan, above 500 of the name, of the rank of gentlemen. The Doctor's words, writing in France, in December, 1652, are: " De la seule branchedes Callaghans de Muskry dont je suis, il s'est trouuv plus de deux cens gentilshommes sous les armes en 1641, & de l'autre plus de trois cens, tous combattans pour la foy catholique,"--of whom, he adds, "sont morts vn tres grand nombre de mes proches parents, mesme de mes neveux." By the fatal results of that contest, as well to the old Irish in general, as to the royal cause, almost all of the O'Callaghans, on this side of the Shannon, were those Irish potentates is, "That they will not exact any Black Rents, for the future, from the Inkabitants of Cork, Youghal, or Kingsale." It may be noted, in a work connected with the Revolution of 1688, that, in the history of these islands, we read, so late as the year 1691, of plans to pacify Celtic Chieftains by money, in in the case of William III.'s government in Scotland, and the heads of the Highland clans, who were the adherents of James II. Having mentioned how, with the "winter" of that year, the Highlanders "recommenced their hostilities," upon which, Lord Breadalbane, a member of William's government in Scotland, set on foot "a scheme for...

Book Description

Excerpt from Macariae Excidium, or the Destruction of Cyprus: Being a Secret History of the War of the Revolution in Ireland The Members of the Irish Archaeological Society are presented, in this volume, with the Macariae Excidium, an account of the War of the Revolution in Ireland from 1688 to 1691, by Colonel Charles O'Kelly. The Colonel's work, being the only narrative of that contest known to exist from the pen of an Irish Officer on the side of King James II., and being, so far, calculated to throw light on an interesting portion of our history from the precise quarter whence it was most needed, had engaged the attention of the Society, from the period of its formation. At the first General Meeting of the Society, No. 202, Great Brunswick-street, Dublin, May 3rd, 1841, the Report from the Provisional Council, read by the Secretary, the Rev. James Henthorn Todd, announced the Irish Colonels work, as the "third tract," intended for publication; and to be "edited by George Petrie, Esq., from a manuscript which had recently been added to the collection of Trinity College."

Book Description

A much neglected field of study has been opened by the research of the author into the history of the Christian church from its apostolic origins to the close of the eighteenth century. Taking as his thesis the prominence given to the Church in the Wilderness in Bible prophecy, and the fact that “‘the Church in the Wilderness,’ and not the proud hierarchy enthroned in the world’s great capital, was the true church of Christ,” he has spent years developing this subject. In its present form, Truth Triumphant represents much arduous research in the libraries of Europe as well as in America. Excellent ancient sources are most difficult to obtain, but the author has been successful in gaining access to many of them. To crystallize the subject matter and make the historical facts live in modem times, the author also made extensive travels throughout Europe and Asia. The doctrines of the primitive Christian church spread to Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. As grains of a mustard seed they lodged in the hearts of many Godly souls in southern France and northern Italy — people known as the Albigenses and the Waldenses. The faith of Jesus was valiantly upheld by the Church of the East. This term, as used by the author, not only includes the Syrian and Assyrian Churches, but is also the term applied to the development of apostolic Christianity throughout the lands of the East. The spirit of Christ, burning in the hearts of loyal men who would not compromise with paganism, sent them forth as missionaries to lands afar. Patrick, Columbanus, Marcos, and a host of others were missionaries to distant lands. They braved the ignorance of the barbarian, the intolerance of the apostate church leaders, and the persecution of the state in order that they might win souls to God. To unfold the dangers that were ever present in the conflict of the true church against error, to reveal the sinister working of evil and the divine strength by which men of God made truth triumphant, to challenge the Remnant Church today in its final controversy against the powers of evil, and to show the holy, unchanging message of the Bible as it has been preserved for t hose who will “fear God, and keep His commandments” — these are the sincere aims of the author as he presents this book to those who know the truth.
