Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kathleen O´neil In publishing the Drama of Kathleen O´Neil, it is necessary for the author to introduce it to the favour of the public, by a few prefatory observations. The materials of this play were collected partly from history, and the legends of the county of Antrim. The author owes it to the respect which he entertains for the memory of the late Miss Balfour, of Belfast, a gifted, patriotic, and graphic authoress, who has in her spirited poetry, and eloquent prose, enlarged and enriched the manor of Irish literature, to acknowledge on this occasion, that he has borrowed from her some of the scenes and incidents, as well as the outlines of three of the characters of his play. Candour and honour invoke from him this avowal, as he has too much literary pride to deck his reputation as a writer in stolen laurels. His ambition is to soar to "honest fame," on his own pinions. He never will plume his cap with borrowed feathers. For the flattering marks of applause, with which the audiences of the Walnut Street, and Arch Street Theatres received Kathleen O´Neil, the author must ever cherish the most grateful remembrance. In the editorial columns of the Irish Shield, he has already expressed his obligations of gratitude to the performers who represented the piece, in both Theatres.
