Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Group of Nation-Builders: O´d Onovan O´curry Petrie During the Nineteenth Century Ireland fought along three great lines for the recovery of her freedom as a nation. She fought for free ownership of the land; she fought for freedom of religion; and she fought for the freedom of her intellectual life. In doing so she was unerringly laying the foundations of her national well-being. In her battles she has had her heroes: and it is well that their memories should not be allowed to die. In the battle for intellectual freedom it is true to say that O´Donovan, O´Curry, and Petrie are national heroes. They loved Ireland and the Irish people with a lasting love. They cherished the Past of Ireland, they reverenced it and they believed in it. They determined that the Ireland of the Future should be bound to the Ireland of the Past by the strong links of knowledge and of love. They forged these links in the white-heat of patriotic research. They were, in every true sense of the word, Nation-builders; and we, their heirs, must not forget them. To prevent our doing so I have written this little book, and to their memories I dedicate it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
