About this book
Thomas D'Arcy McGee's A Popular History of Ireland runs from the Earliest Period to the Emancipation of the Catholics. The preface describes Ireland lifting herself from the dust, drying her tears, and proudly demanding her legitimate place among the nations of the earth. The text says the magisterial gravity of Burke was not calculated to permit him to be generally popular with an impulsive people, but that as years roll on, and education extends its dominion, his reputation rises.
A chapter headed The United Irishmen begins with the thought that half measures of justice may satisfy the generation which achieves them, but their successors will look with other eyes. Art McMurrogh was succeeded in 1417 by his son Donogh, who in 1419 was entrapped into the custody of Talbot. The text says the accession of King George II. in 1727 led to no considerable changes, either in England or Ireland.
