A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The accident near A rgentire, in the Chamonix Valley, of August 5, 1908, which caused the death of Csesar Litton Falkiner, not only carried sorrow into a happy home and brought a deep sense of deprivation to friends who regarded him with honour and affection, but was felt as a pubhc calamity by lovers of literature, and especially by those who are interested in the history and the hterature of I reland. He died when all his powers were at the full, before he had completed his forty-fifth year, and when he was actively engaged in several literary undertakings of importance. I shall set down in the briefest way some facts of a happy, laborious, and wellspent life. He was born in Dublin, September 26, 1863, the second son of the late Sir Frederick Richard Falkiner, Recorder of Dublin and Privy Councillor, I reland. His mother was a daughter of Mr. Sadlier, of Ballinderry Park, Co. Tipperary. The Litton of Falkiner s Christian name had been the maiden name of his grandmother ;the Csesar came from a friend, and, I believe, a kinsman of the family, the Rev. Caesar Otway, an antiquary and a writer of popular books on I rish topography, who had projected a History of I reland and an edition of the works of Sir James Ware. For a time Falkiner was a pupil in the Royal School, A rmagh. In Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated B.A. in 1886, M.A. in 1890, his career was not undistinguished. He took a prominent part in the discussions of the Philosophical Society, whose composition prize was awarded to him for an essay on Macaulay.
