Description
Excerpt from The O''briens and the O''flahertys, Vol. 3 of 4: A National Tale
Reading and writing were the peculiar privilege of protestantism: and he who had not given up transubstantiation and the infallibility of the Pope, had but little chance of enjoying the delectable adventures of Renard the F ox, or of imitating the heroism of Don Bellianis of Greece and the Seven Champions of Christendom. While the first elements of learning were thus jealously withheld from the catholic people, it is not surprising that the higher branches of science, the pathways to professional eminence, were still more rigorously guarded; and that the Gates -of the Irish University were hermetically sealed against all, save the sons of ascendancy.
