Publisher's Synopsis
""A Popular History of Ireland V1"" is a comprehensive account of the history of Ireland, written by Irish journalist and politician Thomas D'Arcy McGee. The book covers the period from ancient times to the end of the 18th century, tracing the political, social, and cultural developments that shaped the country's identity. McGee explores the early Celtic settlements, the arrival of Christianity, the Viking invasions, and the Norman conquest. He also delves into the struggles between the English and Irish, including the Tudor conquest, the Cromwellian conquest, and the Williamite War. The book provides a detailed examination of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and its aftermath, as well as the emergence of Irish nationalism. Throughout the text, McGee emphasizes the importance of Irish culture and language, and its role in shaping the country's history. ""A Popular History of Ireland V1"" is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Ireland, and a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.The first authentic Irish immigration into Scotland seems to have taken place about the year of our Lord 258. The pioneers crossed over from Antrim to Argyle, where the strait is less than twenty-five miles wide. Other adventurers followed at intervals, but it is a fact to be deplored, that no passages in our own, and in all other histories, have been so carelessly kept as the records of emigration. The movements of rude masses of men, the first founders of states and cities, are generally lost in obscurity, or misrepresented by patriotic zeal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
