Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures of Very Rev. Father Burke: In Reply to Jas; A. Froude, the English Historian When I was first asked to reply to Mr. Froude´s lectures, I was very unwilling to do it. As a priest, I felt reluctant to enter upon a controversy which promised to be purely secular. As an Irishman, I thought that Mr. Froude´s was only one other utterance of those old anti-Irish calumnies which it has been the fashion of English writers to invent and repeat, and which have been discussed, answered, refuted a hundred times. My friends, however, urged their request, and Mr. Froude´s lectures took a tone so damaging at once to the Irish character, and so bitterly hostile to the Catholic religion, that I felt justified in attempting to answer him in defense of my faith and my country. I cannot claim for my lectures anything like completeness as an answer to Mr. Froude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
