Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays Relating to Ireland, Biographical, Historical and Topographical The accident near Argentière, in the Chamonix Valley, of August 5, 1908, which caused the death of Cæsar Litton Falkiner, not only carried sorrow into a happy home and brought a deep sense of deprivation to friends who regarded him with honour and affection, but was felt as a public calamity by lovers of literature, and especially by those who are interested in the history and the literature of Ireland. He died when all his powers were at the full, before he had completed his forty-fifth year, and when he was actively engaged in several literary undertakings of importance. I shall set down in the briefest way some facts of a happy, laborious, and well-spent life. He was born in Dublin, September 26, 1863, the second son of the late Sir Frederick Richard Falkiner, Recorder of Dublin and Privy Councillor, Ireland. His mother was a daughter of Mr. Sadlier, of Ballinderry Park, Co. Tipperary. The ´Litton´ of Falkiner´s Christian name had been the maiden name of his grandmother; the ´Cæsar´ came from a friend, and, I believe, a kinsman of the family, the Rev. Caesar Otway, an antiquary and a writer of popular books on Irish topography, who had projected a History of Ireland and an edition of the works of Sir James Ware. For a time Falkiner was a pupil in the Royal School, Armagh. In Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated B.A. in 1886, M.A. in 1890, his career was not undistinguished. He took a prominent part in the discussions of the Philosophical Society, whose composition prize was awarded to him for an essay on Macaulay.
