Life of Theobald Wolfe Tone (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Life of Theobald Wolfe Tone Ireland in olde...)
Excerpt from Life of Theobald Wolfe Tone Ireland in olden times was a free and highly civilised country. It had local government and Imperial Government; a judicial system of a very satisfactory nature; educational advantages sufficient to attract princes and scholars from other countries to it as a seat of learning. Enlarging her influence beyond her own island borders, she had sent forth invasions, and had settled colonies in the adjacent island now called Great Britain. She had done greater service to the world by sending forth apostles to Christianise Western Europe, and by stemming the tide of Paganism which swept in with the Danish invasions up till the tenth century. In the twelfth century, weakened by the dissensions which existed between her great Royal houses, the O'Neills and O'Briens, Ireland herself became the prey of the invader. Since that time she has been struggling in the grasp of England - never quieting into perfect submission, never quite breaking free. With the exile and death of Hugh O'Neill and his sons, Ireland's dream of a native Royal dynasty faded. The coming of Owen Roe and his career of victory revived it; but when women caoined around his corpse in the Lake Castle of Cavan on that sad St. Leonard's Day they wailed the dirge of the last native chief who might have been King of Ireland. The wars in Ireland after this were on behalf of the Stuarts. For "Righ Shemus," the Catholic King, whose rule would have meant freedom to exercise their faith, Irish blood was freely spilt at Aughrim and the Boyne, before the Walls of Derry and behind those of Limerick; and though he proved all unworthy, Irish fidelity still did homage to him and to his son and grandson in exile, and the bards of the Gael sang sweet songs about the Royal blackbird and the princely lover of Kathleen ny Houlahaun. On Culloden Moor the doom of the House of Stuart was sealed, and the Gaelic bards changed their joyful chants to songs of sorrow. The middle of the eighteenth century was her time of blackest trouble. She had no king, no deliverer to dream of. And yet methinks even in that dark time the children of the Gael never bowed to the conqueror. It was then that there grew in their hearts that wholesome bitter hatred, born of resentment against intolerable injustice and utter scorn of the tyrant. Then, when Ireland was trampled lowest, she rose highest in the sight of God, refusing to sell her birthright.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
