DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Down West: And Other Sketches of Irish Life The auth'oress of the following interesting sketches of the life of the Irish peasantry has asked me to write a brief preface. I do so with pleasure, both because I consider it much to be desired that English people, both Catholic and Protestant, should know the truth about the habits and customs of the Irish poor, and because it is through such life-sketches as these that this knowledge may be gained.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from New Lights; Or Life in Galway: A Tale Far; away in the extreme west of Ireland when the waters of Lough Corrib reflect the changeful hues of that ever-changing sky, there is a large, straggling village running up along the bank of a rivulet, from near the shore of the lake, for a dis tance of nearly two miles. This village, which we shall call Killany, though having in itself little to interest the traveller, is still a desirable sojoun hr the summer months, while the grass is on the fields and the blue is on the sky.' The country around is, indeed, beautiful, though somewhat wild in its character, for the mountains of Connemara stand like giant sentinels in the neighborhood, receding from the inland view in many a grand perspective. Above the village, at a little distance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It concerns the lives of you all, and my strength fails. The door-keeper seemed impressed by this. He turned pale, and looked curiously at the gaunt figure before him. Then he said.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Home Life in Ireland I wish to thank Mrs N. F. Dryhurst and Mr J. W. Good for the help they gave me at various points while I was writing this book - help all the more generous because neither of them is likely to agree with all I say. Padraic O Coin ceannain will perhaps recognise something like the echo Of his voice in one of the chapters. Mr and Mrs Robert Steen may not see the image Of their kindness reflected in these pages, but it is none the less there, for it was in their house and in the house at Killure that I received the most abundant hospitality I have known, and was initiated into the friendship of country people and places.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Irish Life and Character The face of Ireland, as seen in these pages, is always puckered with a smile. I think I have shown that the world-wide reputation for humour, conscious and unconscious, which the Irish people enjoy is well founded. But I should be dis appointed if the book were regarded simply as a collection of droll stories. I hope it will lead to a better understanding by other nationalities of the characteristics of the Irish race; to a wider recognition and appreciation of their many good qualities, to a kindlier tolerance of their faults and follies, which are mainly due to the chequered history of the race, - to the wayward circumstances of their unhappy past.
