Historical Sketches of Monaghan (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Monaghan: From the Earliest Records to the Fenian MovementIrish people who inhabit the County Monaghan, from the standpoint of the English colonist in Ireland, filled with hatred towards us, while the Author of these pages writes as an Irishman who loves his country and his people.. The writer makes no apology for writing of a portion of Ireland as an Irishman, and of declaring his intention of so doing. If he stated otherwise, he would be sail ing under false colours, and would thereby imitate the mode of proceeding of the majority Of anti-irish writers, both in England and Ireland, who, though never tired of asserting their disinterestedness and impartiality, seldom lose an opportunity of vilifying our country and our people.Most of the information contained in the following pages has been collected from a variety of sources, from books already published, parliamentary blue books, old newspapers, journals, State papers, and county and national records, never before given to the public, and some private correspondence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
