Excerpt from Legendary Heroes of Ireland The early Celts have little literature other than these stories, which have been handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Most of the tales in this book have been taken from the Ossianic Saga. Whether Finn belongs to history or mythology detracts no jot from the absorbing inter est Of his exploits. I have tried to make the story of Finn something of a connected narrative. To do this I have taken incidents from various versions; I have left out much unsuitable to children, and I have changed some inci dents to conform to the modern standards Of morals. The chronology of arrangement is my own, but I have tried to preserve the spirit of the originals. No collection Of Irish folk stories could be brought out were it not for the work Of those many scholars who have spent years in collecting and translating the tales of the Celtic race. To our American lin guist, Jeremiah Curtin, and to the Irish scholars Sir Douglas Hyde, Dr. Joyce, Eleanor Hull, Lady Gregory, T. W. Rolleston and others, my thanks are due. Their Splendid research work has made pos sible such a volume as this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Hero-Tales of Ireland These people, who were very numerous, lived together for ages in harmony. There were no collisions among them, no disputes during that period all were in perfect accord. In some mysterious fashion, however, each indi vidual was changing imperceptibly an internal movement was going on. At last, a time came when the differences were sufficient to cause con ict, except in the case of a group to be mentioned hereafter, and struggles began.

Excerpt from A Land of Heroes: Stories From Early Irish History Who the authors of these Tales were is unknown. It is generally accepted that what we now possess is the growth of family or tribal histories, which, from being transmitted down, from generation to generation, give us fair accounts of actual events. The Tales that are here given are only a few out of very many hundreds embedded in the vast quantity of Old Gaelic manuscripts hidden away in the libraries of nearly all the countries of Europe, as well as those that are treasured in the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin. An idea of the extent of these manuscripts may be gained by the statement of one, who perhaps had the fullest knowledge of them - the late Professor O'Curry, - in which he says that the portion of them (so far as they have been examined) relating to Historical Tales would extend to upwards of 4000 pages of large size.

Excerpt from Irish Literature: Volumes I and II The Gaelic populations have ever been deeply absorbed in legendary fancies and mythical creations, and only through the study of such prehistoric literature can we understand the true national character of these peoples. The mythical heroes which a race creates for itself, the aspirations which it embodies and illustrates, the senti ments which it immortalizes in story and in ballad, will help us to understand the real character of the race better than it could be expounded to us by any collection of the best authenticated statistics. Fe could not really know the history of Greece without the Homeric poems, and we cannot understand the history of Ireland without studv ing the legends and poems which have preserved for our time the aspirations and the ideals of prehistoric Erin. According to the accepted belief of prehistoric days, Ire land was occupied Or colonized in the early past first by an invasion, or perhaps it might better be called a settlement, from the Far East, and afterward by an adventurous visi tation from the shores of Greece.

Excerpt from Dublin in Irish Legend IN describing the charm of Dublin, Edward Dowden mentioned the legendary associations connected with places in the environs of the city as one of the circum stances that give a characteristic charm to the capital of Ireland. Over some of the spots, 'he writes, now accessible in a brief space of time by tram car or train from the midst of the city, romantic memories hover. Here in Howth Park stands a cromlech under which lies Aideen of Ben Edar, who pined away and died when her husband, Oscar, son of Oisin, fell at the Battle of Gavra. Round her grave the Fenian heroes stood sorrowing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Lighter Side of Irish Life Mr. W. B. Yeats, who IS A wit AS well as a poet, once found himself called upon to discuss the opinion which the English people have formed of the Irish. They insist, he said, in presenting us with all the good qualities which they do not want for themselves. For instance, they will have it that we are an island of saints. The saying is two-edged, cutting deep into the self-satisfaction of English and Irish alike. For the English, so Mr. Yeats seems to think, admire saintliness only in other peoples, while the Irish, so he went on to ex plain, have a glory thrust on them which they by no means deserve. I am not sure that Mr. Yeats' example is the best he could have chosen. I seldom meet English people who insist much on our saintliness. They are more inclined to credit us with a kind of non-moral Puckishness of nature, a mischievous irresponsibility for which they do not blame us, though they find it inconvenient. But Mr. Yeats' general prin ciple is quite unassailable. The English are al ways most generous in endowing us with ami.
