Description
Excerpt from The Irish National Invincibles and Their Times
Irish friends in the United States urged the writer to extend the scope of his work to some of the salient features of the Party of Action in the Sixties.
In sending into the world a book of this nature, the writer is Well aware he runs counter to the preconceived opinions of many people; and expects to meet the usual opposition which prejudiced convictions will always array against the daring spirit who ventures to combat settled forms of thought. It was so with Galileo and the spherical shape of our earth it was so with Columbus and his belief in a Western World. If it has been so with these immortal leaders in the world of thought, how much more with the Irish Nationalist, who would try to draw his country''s cause from the mass of misconception and falsehood that is struggling to smother it!
