Excerpt from The Irish Nation, Vol. 5: Its History and Its Biography While a long and dull repose lay over the late tempest-beaten fields and still obscure towns of the least uncultured part of Ireland, yet under all obstructions, moral, social, economical and administrative, the arts and manners of civilization began to obtain a slow and partial development.
