Personal Narrative of the "Irish-Rebellion" Of 1798 (Classic Reprint)
0 - Default Title
Description
The present state of Ireland bears so strongly on the past, that in delineating the one we seem to portray the character of both. Proud in her sons and rich in her soil, Ireland seemed destined by Nature to hold an imposing station on the chart of the world. Whether for the more peaceful pursuits of commerce or the bois terous scenes of war, Nature was lavish in the gifts which afforded facilities for both; while the genius of her people, corresponding with the fertility of her soil, appeared formed for every pursuit where science or glory might lead. I pass over the days of Ireland''s ancient great ness,-proud but painful the remembrance, and if I trace her present wrongs, it is neither to irritate feelings perhaps too susceptible, nor to widen the breach which those wrongs have extended, to the ruin of domestic peace and the brightest prospect of national independence.
