John Splendid: The Tale of a Poor Gentleman and the Little Wars of Lorn (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
To read tkis tale, dear Hugh, without any asso Hation of its incidents with the old respectable chronicles of the Historians is what I should wish you could always do. That is the happy manner with Romance; that is the entnable aptness of the child. But when by the favour of God) you grow older and more refieethx, seeking perhaps for more in these pas than they meant to give, you may wonder that the streets, the lanes, the tenements herein set forth so much retemile those we know to-day, though less than two hundred years ago the bracken waved upon their promontory. You may wonder, too, that the Silver Mines of Coillebhraid, discovered in the time of your greatgrandfather, should have so strangely been anticipated in the age of Gillesbeg Gruamach. Let not those chronological diver Hces perturb you; th were in the manuscript which you will be good enough to assume) of Elrigmore, and I would not alter them.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Having spent years fighting in the German wars, the author finds himself drawn back to the familiar surroundings of his youth.
