A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

McGEE OP MONTREAL. HAD the Honorable Thomas DA rcy Mc Gee lived in the middle of the sixth century he would very probably have been a member, and a very distinguished one too, of that all-powerful Bardic Order, before whose awful anger, Mr. Mc Gee informs us in his History of I reland, Kings trembled and warriors succumbed in superstitious dread. This influential order, we are elsewhere told, were the Editors, Professors, Registrars, and Record Keepers of those early days, the makers and masters of public opinion, whose number in the Provinces of Meath and Ulster alone, in the reign of King Hugh the second, exceeded twelve hundred. Although the subject of our sketch may neither be a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, it is not improbable that, could we trace his genealogy aright, we might discover that the trunk of his family tree is rooted and grounded in poetic earth; for his intellectual life derives no slight nourishment from the poets heritage, imagination and fancy. Mr. Me Gee sancestors hailed originally from Ulster.
