Excerpt from The Legacy of Past Years: A Study of Irish History MY endeavour in the following pages is to delineate the 1ncidents in Irish history which, if studied in an impartial, candid, and critical Spirit, give, as it seems to me, an answer to the perennial question, Why is it that the Realm is no richer for Ireland? My object is that, as the average Englishman and Irishman cannot study for themselves the history of the relations between England, or Great Britain, and Ireland, extending as it does over a period of some 700 years, a short sketch of events taken in relation with the circumstances existing at the time may help to dispel passion and prejudice, and may enable those who desire it to see both sides of the question and to form a sound judgment upon it.

FOREWORD 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 The Student's Manual of Irish History This may seem a strong expression; but I know, unhappily, too many instances in which being ashamed of being Irish, has led to being ashamed of being Catholic. I do not doubt that many American priests, who may honor me by reading these pages, could corroborate my statements.

Excerpt from A Hidden Phase of American History: Ireland's Part in America's Struggle for Liberty The third part deals most importantly with the early Irish immigration into the American Colonies, evolving remarkable conclusions based on attainable facts. While these facts are spread out to the confusion of ignorant or prejudiced historians, they mightily contribute to the self -respect and add to the knowledge of the American Irish. We are no new-comers in these United States, as is well proven in this book. Not the least engaging portion of this section of the book is the author's caustic treatment of the use of the absurd term scotch-irish.

Excerpt from A Hundred Years of Irish History You have done good work in drawing attention to the relations between England and Ireland during the last cen tury. So far as I am aware, there is no history of that period, and Englishmen are perhaps less familiar with it than with any other period of Irish history. Each generation of Englishmen have comforted themselves with the reflection that they were righteous men, though their ancestors governed Ireland infamously. N 0 En glish.

Excerpt from History of Ireland, Vol. 1: The Heroic Period I had intended at first to let my book explain itself, but as I reflect on the unusualness of its form and character, I feel the advantages which would be derived from some introductory matter. If I appear sometimes to travel over ground covered by the text itself, this must be my excuse. It is a common-place that the true function of the historian is to give a clear and vivid picture of the past; but, although the principle is recognised in theory, it is practically set aside, and pure historical composition relegated to the novelist and romancer, whose audience, as they desire merely amusement, make no very stern demands on the veracity and historical faithfulness of the writer. In fact, the province of archaeology has so extended its frontiers, as to have swallowed up the dominion of pure history altogether. Nearly every work which one takes up affecting to treat of the past in a rigid and conscientious spirit, is merely archaeological.
