Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Patriot´s Mistake: Being Personal Recollections of the Parnell Family My object in writing these pages was to trace some of the principal events which would gratify the natural desire of the reading public to know something, from a personal source, of a family that had become so famous, some of whom were so tragically unfortunate in the issues of their lives. I have desired, too, to lift to some extent the veil of proud reserve that wrapt a spirit as brave and impenetrable as ever faced the fierce struggles, the stress, and shipwreck of political life. A well-known Irish journalist has said that ours was "the most tragic family he had ever heard of." This, I think, is true; and so I present this sketch, believing that the interest attached to some of the characters will make it acceptable, and hoping, too, that a saner, truer, and more just estimate may be passed upon them. I am indebted to my brother, Mr. John Parnell, for his interest in the book, and his help in the matter of the illustrations.
