Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ireland and the Anglo-Norman Church: A History of Ireland and Irish Christianity From the Anglo-Norman Conquest to the Dawn of the Reformation
Of Dublin to teach Ecclesiastical History. I hold that a professor is just like a preacher, - he should be a teacher and an interpreter; and if students avoid the professor's prelections, or a congregation ?ee from the preacher's sermons, as if 'his words carried the plague with them, then whatever else professor or preacher may be fitted for, he is not fitted for the Office he has assumed.
I did not submit my former volume, I do not submit my present volume, as exhaustive histories Of the periods with which they deal, but I do submit them as attempts to redeem Irish history from its traditional dulness, and to show that it is not the pathless waste which some regard it. In doing so I have made it my Object to interpret to young and eager minds the results attained by the great investigators, living and dead, whose works I have so frequently quoted, and have, therefore, systematically striven to make my narrative as interesting as I possibly could, a task at times by no means an easy one.
