Excerpt from English Misrule in Ireland, Vol. 1: A Course of Lectures in Reply to James Anthony Froude

In selecting for the first issue of this series the lectures of Father Burke in refutation of the sophistries of the English historian Froude, we have been influenced not merely by the intrinsic merit and beauty of those discourses, and their value as a defence of our national character, but also by the consideration of that tendency of the American mind which impels it to deal immediately and directly with what is present, and to leave the remote past for more leisurely consideration. The value of these lectures, both as a defence of our people against a most flagrant attack, and as a future source of reference in relation to many important portions of our history, will be materially enhanced by the Appendix which we have added, and which contains all the most authentic historical quotations relating to the matters which Mr. Froude has so artfully misrepresented or mystified.
