Poets and Poetry of Munster

Clarence Mangan James

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The First and Second Edition of this volume which might appositely be entitled Anthologia Celtica-'having been many years out of print; the Messrs. Duffy purchased Mr. Patrick Traynor's interest in the copyright, and thought this the opportune moment for bringing out a. Third in bolder type and on better paper. Conscious of the risk they ran in this undertaking, they resolved to do all they could through this medium, for the preserva tion of the ancient language of Erin, and of many of those dulcet airs which consoled our forefathers at home and in exile during the darkest days of their bondage. F urther more, the desire so frequently expressed to have every line from the pen of the matchless translator of those lyrics made accessible to all classes of readers deserved to be gratified, and was another motive which induced the Messrs. Duffy to present this new edition with Gaelic text, carefully revised, to the student of that venerable idiom, and the lovers of our native music.
