The Life And Times Of Charles Stewart Parnell Containing A Detailed Account Of His Ancestry Birth And Early Training

Excerpt from The Life and Times of Charles Stewart Parnell, Containing a Detailed Account of His Ancestry, Birth, and Early Training Before sketching the career of Mr. Parnell from his birth to the present hour, we deem it proper to give some account of the sources whence he sprang. It will be found that on the maternal as well as on the paternal side he had a distinguished ancestry; the former being as noted for honest, hearty hate of English oppression and love of domination as the latter for sincere and practical Irish patriotism. The story we have to tell must naturally possess a powerful interest for the Irish people; but even if Charles Stewart Parnell were not so endeared to them as he is, the record would have intrinsically a strong attraction for every reader, for it deals with a number of people eminent or illustrious in their day, some of whom played leading parts on the worlds great stage, and some, again, about whose lives there is all the brilliancy of romance.
