Excerpt from A Popular History of Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Period to the Emancipation of the Catholics In former times, Ireland was as well wooded as watered, though hardly a tree of the primitive forest now remains. One of the earliest names applied to it was the wooded Island, and the export of timber and staves, as Well as of the furs of wild animals, continued, until the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury, to be a thriving branch of trade. But in a succession of civil and religious wars, the axe and the torch have done their work of destruction, so that the age of most of the wood now standing does not date above two or three generations back. Who were the first inhabitants of this Island, it is impossible to say, but we know it was inhabited at a very early period of the world's lifetime - probably as early as the time when Solo mon, the Wise, sat in Jerusalem on the throne of his father David. As we should not altogether reject, though neither are we bound to believe, the wild and uncertain traditions of which we have neither documentary nor monumental evidence, we will glance over rapidly what the old Bards and Story-tellers have handed down to us, concerning Ireland before it became Christian.

Excerpt from Ireland Under the Normans, Vol. 2: 1169-1216 One adventurous spirit showed his discontent with Fitz Audelin's policy by organizing and carrying out a raid on his own account, which would seem to have been the act ofa madman had it not been successful, and which resulted in subjecting a large portion of another pro vince to English domination. This was John de Courcy, whose story is like a wild romance, and would hardly be believed were it not for many solid and enduring facts which testify to its essential truth.

Excerpt from A Social History of Ancient Ireland, Vol. 2: Treating of the Government, Military System, and Law; Religion, Learning and Art; Trades, Industries and Commerce; Manners, Customs and Domestic Life of the Ancient Irish People The fact that the husband paid the bride-price did not prevent the bride bringing goods or valuables of her own, if she had them. Any number of cases might be cited where the young woman brought jewels, or gold, or herds, or land: and after the marriage, these continued to be her own special property. Sometimes the friends of the young couple made a collection for them, which was called T int! (i.e. Collection' pron. Tinnole), Of which two-thirds belonged by law to the man, and one-third to the womani This custom was common among high and low, and we meet with instances everywhere in the tales. Our present custom of making a young married couple presents is not unlike the old Irish tz'nnole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Phases of Irish History The twelve chapters in this volume, delivered as lectures before public audiences in Dublin, make no pretence to form a full course of Irish history for any period. Their purpose is to correct and supplement. For the standpoint taken, no apology is necessary. Neither apathy nor antipathy can ever bring out the truth of history. I have been guilty of some inconsistency in my spelling of early Irish names, writing sometimes earlier, sometimes later forms. In the Index, I have endeavoured to remedy this defect. Since these chapters presume the reader's acquaintance with some general presentation of Irish history, they may be read, for the pre-Christian period, with Keating's account, for the Christian period, with any handbook of Irish history in print.

Excerpt from Ireland Under the Tudors, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Succinct Account of the Earlier History Starting with this conception of the task before me, I have not attempted to please any party or school. The history of Ireland is at the best a sad one; but its study, if it be really studied for the truth's sake, can hardly fail to make men more tolerant. In Ireland, as in other countries, a purely Celtic population was unable to resist the impact of the Teutonic race. First came the pagan Northmen, with power to ruin, but without power to reconstruct. Then followed the anglo-normans, seeking for lands and lordships, but seeking them under the patronage of the Catholic Church. For a time it seemed as though the conquest would be complete; but the colony proved too weak for its work, and the mail-clad knights failed almost as completely as the Scandinavian corsairs.
