Présentation de l'éditeur
I reland the traveller hears quaint stories about Saint Patrick, and sometimes perhaps imagines that the Saint visited the island for the benefit of witty guides, and to promote mirth in wet weather. He would hardly suspect that, during fourteen centuries, the subject of these stories has been regarded, at countless hearths, as the greatest man and the greatest benefactor that ever trod the I rish soil, and that there remains respecting him a vast cycle of legends, serious, pathetic, and profound. It could not have been otherwise. I reland was a land of legends many ages before Saint Patrick visited it. Jl There existed in all parts of it Colleges of Bard 7whose duty it was to preserve in song the history of every clan and ruling House.
