Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nora Brady´s Vow, and Mona the Vestal In the story of "Mona" we have adhered strictly to historic accounts in all that we have written descriptive of the religious, intellectual, political, and social status of the ancient Irish. We refer our readers to the Abbe McGeoghegan´s "History of Ireland from its Fabulous and Mythological Times, down to the Year 1798," for the correctness of our descriptions. Our story opens at that interesting epoch in Irish history when Patricius, commissioned by Pope Celestine as Ambassador to the Court of Tara, and invested with the order of the Patricii, which was next in honor to the Imperial dignity, landed on the banks of the Boyne, and confronted the Druids and their false creed in the presence of the Estates of Tara; preaching with such courage and unction of "Christ and Him crucified," in the halls of Temora, and on the plains of Magh-Breagh, in the very presence of the idolatries of Baal, that many accepted the Christian faith, and the seed was planted which led to a rapid extinction of a dark and cruel mythology. Ancient customs, religious and civil, are illustrated in the dramatis personae of the story: Mona herself being a Vestal of Nerf Naom - the Moon. At this period Ireland, under the Druidical system, - much of it borrowed from Egypt, from Etruria, and Persia, - was the seat of learning, literature, science, and the arts, and was considered the great school of Western Europe, to which kings and nobles sent their sons to be instructed, by the Druids and Bards, in the rules of learning, jurisprudence, science, and war.
