Description
Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Kilmacduagh
In aiming at this, I have endeavoured to make the existing interesting remains of our early churches illustrate the labours of their founders.
The stones of Venice are not the only stones that can speak to those who understand. Hence, I have also given our old castles a prominence which must give additional interest to the narrative of the long struggles between the encroaching Normans and the native chiefs.
The convulsions of the seventeenth century transferred to the men of new interests, the possessions of the Irish chiefs, and of the more Irish Normans. In a time like ours, when land tenure has become the difficulty of the hour, both to the Legislature and to the people, a study of those past transfers, their origin and sanctions, must possess a special interest.
And as the bishops of a diocese are not merely the spiritual guides, but also the sharers of the sorrows and the joys of their ?ocks, the sketches of our bishops are given in im mediate connection with the various periods of which I have treated. In the notice of the career of Dr. H h de Burgo, the special value of this line of treatment is best i lustrated.
