A Popular History of Ireland V2 by Thomas D'Arcy McGee is a comprehensive account of the history of Ireland from its earliest days to the 19th century. The book covers the rise of Celtic culture, the arrival of Christianity, the Viking invasions, the Norman conquest, the Tudor and Stuart eras, the Cromwellian period, the Williamite Wars, and the struggles for independence in the 19th century. McGee provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and cultural developments that shaped Ireland's history, including the struggles between the Irish and English, the impact of the Reformation, and the rise of Irish nationalism. The book is well-researched and provides a balanced perspective on the complex issues that have shaped Ireland's past. It is an essential read for anyone interested in Irish history and culture.Sir Henry Sidney, in writing to his court, had always reported John O'Neil as the only strong man in Ireland. Before his rout at Lough Swilly, he could commonly call into the field 4,000 foot and 1,000 horse; and his two years' revolt cost Elizabeth, in money, about 150,000 pounds sterling over and above the cess laid on the country--besides 3,500 of her Majesty's soldiers slain in battle. The removal of such a leader in the very prime of life was therefore a cause of much congratulation to Sidney and his royal mistress, and as no other strong man was likely soon to arise, the Deputy now turned with renewed ardour to the task of establishing the Queen's supremacy, in things spiritual as well as temporal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
