Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Diocese of Down and Connor, Vol. 1: Ancient and Modern The work, of which this is the first volume, was originally undertaken for the purpose of placing before the people of Down and Connor the meagre accounts, which oral tradition, and a tew public documents, had preserved, of the heroic priests, who braved the terrors of the Penal Laws to break to our forefather the Bread of Life, and who, under God, were the instruments of preserving to us the faith of ancient Ireland. When, however, I was engaged in gleaning among the people traditions regarding their old pastors, I found among the farmers of Down and Antrim, both Catholics and Protestants, a zeal and enthusiasm to know all, that could be known, of the old churches and castles, raths and other remnants of the remote past, which they have always generously respected and preserved, notwithstanding their desire of subjecting to tillage every foot of their farms. This compilation has, therefore, assumed its present form, in order to supply to the inhabitants of this diocese, what all admit to be a glaring deficiency in our National Education, by pointing out the historical and intellectual associations, in which the country is so rich, and which may well increase our pride to belong to it; and in order to teach the people, that in almost very field objects of interest are to be found, serving still more to embellish the scene of nature, and still more to augment that generous patriotism, which attaches us to our native soil.
