Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Epoch in Irish History: Trinity College, Dublin, Its Foundation and Early Fortunes The title of this book is intended to inform the reader that though the history of a particular Foundation fills most of its pages, the general history of the country, and its social and intellectual conditions, have been always before the author´s mind. The great struggle for the education and creed of the people between the reformed Church of England and the Jesuits has been viewed from a special point of view. But the author claims to have made a contribution to the Elizabethan and Jacobean history of Ireland, as well as to the knowledge of the early fortunes of the great Irish University and College. He also claims, while in no way concealing his Protestant convictions, to have represented the merits and the faults of all the conflicting parties in this struggle without fear or favour. The history of Trinity College, Dublin, which up to the present includes that of the University of Dublin, has been many times written, and these essays have been at least in five cases published. It might therefore fairly be expected that each succeeding work would utilise its predecessors, and thus gradually attain to an adequate account of the origin and development of "the only English foundation that ever succeeded in Ireland." But this is not the case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
