Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Meagher of the Sword: Speeches of Thomas Francis Meagher in Ireland, 1846-1848; His Narrative of Events in Ireland in July 1848, Personal Reminiscences of Waterford, Galway, and His Schooldays
Four Courts or the English senate. It was held a Catholic triumph when a Catholic mounted the Bench whence he was to sentence to transportation and to death men who essayed to recover the plundered liberties of their country, and True Equality was read in the gazetting of a Catholic Irishman to a commission in an army intended to despoil some hapless people of its lands or its treasures. So the Catholic office-holder and the Catholic office-seeker multiplied, but the Catholic merchant, sturdy and opulent, dwindled and passed away, till a legend grew that modern com merce and industry in Ireland had been the ad mirable creation and permanent possession of Englishmen and the sons of Englishmen.
