Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Historic Literature of Ireland: An Essay on the Publications of the Irish Archaeological Society, Founded 1840, for the Printing of the Genealogical, Ecclesiastical, Bardic, Topographical, and Historical Remains of Ireland The favorable manner in which this Essay was received on its appearance in No. III. of the Irish Quarterly Review, has induced the proprietors to accede to the general desire expressed for its publication in a detached form. It has long been a source of equal surprise and disappointment to the learned of other nations, that periodicals printed in Ireland should have hitherto conveyed no information on the literature of the country with which they are presumed to be identified. Thus, although the Irish Archaeological Society is now in its eleventh year, and has expended many thousand pounds in the production of valuable works on the history, language, and antiquities of Ireland, the present is the first notice of its publications which has appeared in any Irish literary periodical. The demand for a republication of this paper affords a pleasing evidence that literature in its best shape, or a desire of the "knowledge of ourselves," is progressing in Ireland, and would rapidly advance if proper efforts were made to exhibit, in a popular manner, the objects of our literary institutions. It may be added, that this essay contains a considerable amount of interesting collateral information, derived from various manuscript and printed sources, not to be found in the publications of the Society.
