Excerpt from Impressions of IrelandThe Gaelic League, however, starts with the principle that the economic revival can only be accomplished by means Of a thorough spiritual regeneration, and with this View the foreigner who visits Ireland must signify his hearty concurrence. England has proclaimed to the four winds that it was she who introduced into the sister island the settled forms of civilised life, to which Ireland had been a stranger, and Irishmen have seen themselves regarded for centuries, as belonging to an inferior race, inherently incapable Of organising itself into an enduring social structure. How England has vilified the tribal system' And yet, under its shade, Ireland has produced her bards and her lawgivers, her cenobites and her schools. Irish sentiment bitterly felt the rude shock of long, calculating disdain. Timid, suspicious, lacking faith in herself, mistrusting innova tion, shy Of initiative, sorrowful and resigned, with passive listlessness, or weeping in silence, she allowed the industry, the commerce, the habits Of life, and even the language of the country of Cromwell, to sweep over the land, which had witnessed the proud sway of the O' Connors and the wealth and af¿uence of the Maguires.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
