Irish Memories (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Irish Memories The statement may seem incredible, but is, nevertheless, true, we have more authoritative information about King Brian than about Sarsfield. From the materials at our command we can get nearer to the great monarch of the eleventh century than to the gallant soldier of the eighteenth. We have Brians story from one who knew him, and who was familiar with the events of his life. "The War of the Gaedhil with the Gaill" (if one who unfortunately cannot read the work in the original may express an opinion on the point) is, assuredly, among the most interesting Irish MSS. that have come down to us. The author was the secretary of King Brian, and, doubtless, was either an eye-witness of many of the transactions he describes, or heard of them from those who spoke at first-hand.
