Historical Memoirs of the Irish Bards e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I trust I am offering to my Countrymen an acceptable present; the gift has novelty, at least, to recommend it. Though Ireland has been long famed for its Poetry and Music, these subjects have never yet been treated of historically. I do not pretend to have done completely, what has lain so long undone: no doubt many sources of information still remain unopened, and many documents unconsulted. However, I have marked out a path which may facilitate the pursuit of those who shall hereafter follow me.
