Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Saint Patrick: Apostle of Ireland, With a Copious Appendix From the innumerable calumnies and gross misrepresentations of various ancient and modern authors, some, perhaps, influenced by mistaken, but more of them by vicious views, in relation to the patron saint of the Emerald Isle, the Editor has been induced to present the following to the public, with the hope that thread-bare fiction will now give place to authenticity. Throughout the work, it has been his principal design to examine critically the suggestions, to unmask the sophistry, and to expose the bare-faced calumny of several who have preceded him; and then to present his readers with a perfect and authentic record of the Life, the virtues, and the actions of the illustrious Saint Patrick, with the best corroborative testimony of the verity of his detail. For centuries, it has been the habit of the enemies of Ireland to represent her apostle as a mere "imaginary being" - as a mere creature of traditionary legend. They have ascribed to him the performance of a train of curious miracles, which in the hands of various of them, from Probus, Joceline, and Cambrensis, down to the more recent, though truly libellous O´Halloran and Ledwich, have become so multiplied and exaggerated, that, for ages, they have exceeded all the limits of credibility. And if there were not the most clear, nay, incontestable evidence of their inaccuracy, afforded by other authors, besides the bishop of Sletty, (in his celebrated hymn which is appended to this work,) the cause of Truth would still be sacrificed at the shrine of ridicule and error, and the spotless character of Erin´s saint would still continue unredeemed.
