Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Life in Connaught: With Sketches of Mission Work in the West Mrs. Armstrong has asked me to write a sentence or two which might serve as a preface to her loving biography of her late husband. What can I say except to comply with such a request, and to thank her that she has put into permanent form a record of thrilling interest? The Rev. Thomas Armstrong was no ordinary man. An Irishman to the finger-tips, his career in the most Irish of the Irish provinces was remarkably picturesque and full of stirring incident. For a generation he stood full-square in the eye of his Church as her missionary and representative in Connaught; and his annual visits to Scotland and England, his ready speech, his versatile character, his overflowing energy and good-humour, besides his intense earnestness in the prosecution of his work, made him known far and wide as a typical Hibernian. The following pages will reveal to a new generation much of what Ireland and Irishmen were in the Victorian era, and the reader may be sure that there is not a dull line in them. Mrs. Armstrong has done well to place this chaplet on a never-to-b-eforgotten grave, and I hope her book will find as many readers as it deserves.
