Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Epoch in Irish History: Trinity College, Dublin, Its Foundation and Early Fortunes
The title of this book is intended to inform the reader that though the history of a particular Foundation fills most of its pages, the general history of the country, and its social and intellectual conditions, have been always before the author's mind. The great Struggle for the education and creed Of the people between the reformed Church Of England and the Jesuits has been viewed from a special point Of view. But the author claims to have made a contribution to the Eliza bethan and Jacobean history of Ireland, as well as to the knowledge Of the early fortunes Of the great Irish University and College. He also claims, while in no way concealing his Protestant convictions, to have represented the merits and the faults Of all the con?icting parties in this struggle without fear or favour.
