Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Friends, Foes, and Adventures of Lady Morgan During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a family of staunch Protestant principles and high respectability, settled in Connaught, of whom Robert MacOwen, Sub-agent and Land-Steward to Sir John Browne of Castle Margaret, County Mayo, was a collateral descendant. But M´Owen´s tastes inclined much more strongly to literature than to land; he was fonder of Shakespeare than of sheep-shearing; he preferred theatres to trees, full benches to fat bullocks, and thought more highly of the Hay-market than of hay-making. He liked Home better than hoggets - but not, we may add, his Connaught home, which had latterly become distasteful to him - and whilst some neighbouring agriculturists hung delighted on the bleatings and lowing of cattle, "M´Owen could alone listen with pleasure to the strum of an orchestra, or the wild strains of his native country. His scantily furnished book-shelf displayed Massinger instead of Mawe; "Bowman on Farming," gave place to Beaumont and Fletcher; he was fonder of reading Rowe, than reaping rye, and loved human fairs better than cattle fairs. Every day confirmed "M´Owen more strongly and decidedly in his gay and theatrical tendencies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
