Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ireland and Its Rulers, Vol. 1 of 3: Since 1829
Irish people. They are rich in Saxon self? reliance, and they are also endowed with Celtic sensibility and ardour. Their character was formed in the eighteenth century, when Ireland possessed an Aristocracy, partly resident, and a Legislature. Their blood is nearly as hot as that of the Catholics. The anglo-irish have imbibed far more of the national character of Ireland, than they have imparted of their here ditary English qualities. For matters purely intellectual they are as Celtic as if they had not a drop of British blood. Exclusive insti rations have alone preserved them from being completely merged in the national character of Ireland.
