Excerpt from History of Ireland: In Words of One Syllable
High up from the main land of Eu-rope, and cut off from it by deep, wild seas that toss great white waves on their shores, lie two isles which bore the name of the Isles of the North when those who gave it did not know much else of them. One has now for a long time been known as En-gland, and one as Ireland. The old name of Ire-land was Hi-ber-ni-a or E-rin, and the folks there bore the name of Celts. The Celts seem to have known more than the Britons, and a great deal for those days.
