Preface

In a short Preface I wish to draw attention to some special features of this book.

Most readers will perceive that the mode of treating the subject is somewhat new. The chapters forming Part I, on the literature, art, and institutions of ancient Ireland, will, I hope, prove useful; and perhaps they may be found interesting. They do not pretend to be deep or exhaustive; but, while setting them forth in language as simple, clear, and readable as I could command, I have tried to make them comprehensive so far as the limits allowed, and thoroughly accurate.

In five short chapters is given a popular exposition of a subject not easy to deal with - the Brehon Laws. The interpretation of these laws is often so difficult, and leaves so much room for differences of opinion, that I have been at unusual pains to give references. The vexed question of land tenure has lately aroused very lively interest, and perhaps the public may be pleased to have an explanation of the main features of the ancient Irish land laws.

I have generally followed the plan of weaving the history round important events and leading personages. This method, while sometimes necessitating a slight departure from the strict order of time, has enabled me to divide the whole book into short chapters, each forming a distinct narrative more or less complete in itself; and it Las aided me in my endeavours to infuse some life and human interest into the story.

Original documents have been, all through, consulted; nothing has been accepted on second-hand evidence; and great care has been taken to give references or quotations for all statements that might give rise to doubt or question.

I have, I hope, written soberly and moderately, avoiding exaggeration and bitterness, and showing fair play all round. A writer may accomplish all this while sympathising heartily, as I do, with Ireland and her people.

In the beginning of the reign of James I. the Brehon Law and the Irish land customs were abolished, and Ireland ceased to be governed by native institutions. This, therefore, seems a convenient and proper place to make a pause. The first part of my task ends here: in another volume, which will appear, I hope, in the near future, the narrative will be brought down to the present day.

I am deeply indebted to Mr. Marlow WooUett for reading the proof-sheets, and for giving me, all along, the benefit of his great information and sound judgment. I have to thank Messrs. George Philip & Son for the use of the map, and Messrs. Alex. Thom & Co. for permission to use the Celtic design on the cover.

Editorial Note:

Numerous scanning errors in the html version supplied at Internet Library (Archive.org) have been corrected throughout using the page-view (PDF) version at the same source as the copy-text. In keeping with the usual practice in RICORSO Library, italics have been introduced for recurrent titles whether of Irish manuscript books or modern reference works. Inverted commas have been retained, however, for the titles of articles within books. Closing inverted commas occasionally omitted in the printed work have been installed and the redundant stop (.) after roman numerals has been scotched, and capitals in chapter titles have been reduced to word-initials.

Footnotes have called for different treatments in Chaps 1-8 and the remained (9-17) reflecting the different periods spent working on the text - initially in 2010 and latterly in 2023. On both occasions much material has been transferred from text and notes to the corresponding writers on Irish history and culture notarised in RICORSO A-Z. The chief alteration has to do with footnotes and the next witih page-numbers. In the first file-length block chapters (1-8), the notes havee been to removed to end-of-chapter - i.e., the bottom of the screen - and linked back to the point in the text to which they refer. The possible advantage of reading down through the notes in this distribution has been won at the expense of leaving the text and return on each occasion, unlike the format of the printed original in which the notes figure at the end of each page.

Secondly, the page-breaks in 1-8 have been suppressed and page-numbers removed although page-references in the Table of Contents are linked to the corresponding chapters of the text. Again, this method has been reviewed and changed for Chaps. 9-17 where the page-numbers are indicated in-text using bow-brackets in the right-hand side of the screen, while the page breaks - though uneven as to lineation and margin - have allowed to fall unevenly as to lineation and margin in the digital version of the text.

Several other minor emendations have been introduced in keeping with the general format of RICORSO editions though without altering distinctive typographical features such as bold and italic head-words or the language of the original. While the table of contents retains its original position after the Preface, the Index and Appendix of the original follow beneath the preface on the current page by reason of enhanced computer memory in recent machines and the optimum use of file space.
