Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bantry, Berehaven and the O´sullivan Sept In Ireland, every part of which has been the scene of stirring events, and whose people have experienced many vicissitudes of fortune, the publication of local histories relating to the affairs of minor areas - such as counties, baronies, and parishes - conversant also with the public life and actions of the leading families and personages in those districts, would, I have often thought, possess much interest, and be generally serviceable in the way of our national education. They would be useful materials for larger works, and facilitate their production. There still exists among the masses of our people (though, happily, matters are improving in that respect) a lamentable degree of ignorance of the history of their country. Generations have come and gone, "lived, moved, and had their being," amid scenes rich in historic associations, knowing little or nothing about them. Our land is thick sown with memorials of a troubled past, of times of mixed sadness and glory; but our young folk tread historic fields, and see in every landscape the relics of stately towers, castles, churches, and monasteries, having but hazy notions - many of them having none at all - of the tales connected therewith, and rarely seeking to acquire any knowledge on the subject.
