Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Race of Castlebar: Being a Narrative Addressed by Mr. John Bunbury to His Brother, Mr. Theodore Bunbury, Attached to His Britannic Majesty´s Embassy at Florence, October 1798, and Now First Given to the World The art of collaboration is apt to wear an air of mystery that is not without attraction, and the writer whose name stands first on the foregoing title-page has puzzled herself before new as to the means by which so ingenious a dual result had been attained. In the present case that mystery is reduced to very humble dimensions. A subject, interesting in itself, doubly interesting to any student, however casual, of Irish history, led her into embarking upon the present book. Fate in the shape of inveterate ill-health decided that the said book should be carried less than half-way towards its predestined end. In this state it lay long, and would doubtless be lying still, but that in the course of one summer´s afternoon talk chanced to turn upon the French invasions which had at various times threatened Ireland, and upon this one of Killala and Castlebar in particular. One word leading to another, the idea gradually grew up that possibly the writer whose name stands second on the title-page might be willing to take up the poor derelict, and see whether anything could be made of it.
