Think of the sea gradually rising around her coasts, until the waters, deepened everywhere by a hundred fathoms, close in upon the land. Of all Ireland there will now remain visible above the waves only two great armies of islands, facing each other obliquely across a channel of open sea. These two armies of islands will lie in ordered ranks, their lines stretching from northeast to southwest; they will be equal in size, each two hundred miles along the front, and seventy miles from front to rear. And the open sea between, which divides the two armies, will measure seventy miles across. Not an island of these two armies, as they lie thus obliquely facing each other, will rise as high as three l thousand feet; only the captains among them will ex-ceed a thousand; nor will there be great variety in their forms. All the islands, whether north or south, will have gently rounded backs, clothed in pastures nearly to the crest, with garments of purple heather lying under the sky upon their ridges. Yet for all this roundness of outline there will be, towards the Atlan-tic end of either army, a growing sternness of aspect, a more sombre ruggedness in the outline of the hills, with cliffs and steep ravines setting their brows frown-ing against the deep. This book was written in the early 1900’s, which only adds to its historical interest. Please note that the numerous pictures included will therefore be in black and white.

It took a while to get into the book. The historical progression was little confusing until I started to relate to my own family history. My families arrival in New England and eastern Canada now makes sense. The book has tweaked my interest to further study this period.Product details

Lovely.
I am very interested in Ireland and this gives me a Fantastic picturesque history that I would have never been able to see even that I have been there three times.
