The brave sons and ever-virtuous daughters of Erin in America are beautifully distinguished for their tearful remembrance of the land of their fathers across the sea. Ever in the din of business, in the flurry of excitement, in the solitude of thought, their hearts steal back where the mother sits thinking of them, where their childhood strayed. Like their own St. Columba, in exile, who, with tears in his eyes, watched the happy swallows return to his dear Eire, the children of St. Patrick love to turn their eyes to I reland, where the young are so gentle and the old are so wise. To them this book is affectionately dedicated by THE AUTHOR.

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.
