Excerpt from Elizabethan Ireland: Native and English The historical importance of the Elizabethan period in Ireland is incalculable. It was the period when an alien Government, threatened by the growth of new, and the rejuvenescence of Old, dangers, deliberately determined upon imparting to the physical aspect Of the country, and the political and social institutions Of its people, the impress of their modern form. The period during which all the differences that for upwards Of three centuries have plagued the country, and strained every interest connected with it, had their inception. Truly a seed time, Of which subse quent generations have reaped the harvest. In England it was an era Of adventure and land hunger. A phase in the literary and exploratory activity Of the time. Men's minds were in¿amed by visions Of an unattainable material prosperity, and possessed by a passion for new discoveries and the planting Of settlements. Unfortunately for those to whom this planting Of settlements meant removal from their ancestral homes, undisguised ruthlessness reigned supreme everywhere. Inhumanity was common to all nations and every sect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
