Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, Vol. 20 The work, of which the first volume is now submitted to the Public, was originally written for, and presented to the Royal Irish Academy, as an Essay on the Origin and Uses of the Round Towers of Ireland; and that Essay was so fortunate as to obtain a gold medal and prize of fifty pounds from the Academy in 1833. It may, however, he proper to state that, in its present form, the work contains not only the original Essay on the Round Towers, very much enlarged, but also distinct Essays on our ancient stone churches and other ecclesiastical buildings, of cotemporaneous age with the Round Towers, now first submitted to the Academy, and for the approval of which that distinguished body is in no way committed. For this amplification of my original Essay into a work of great national scope, I am alone answerable; and whatever may be the faults found with its execution, I trust the Academy and the Public generally will give me credit, at least, for the motives which influenced me in thus extending the field of my inquiries, and believe that I was actuated solely to undertake this additional labour by an ardent desire to rescue the antiquities of my native country from unmerited oblivion, and give them their just place among those of the old Christian nations of Europe.
