Excerpt from History of the Irish Primitive Church: Together With the Life of St. Patrick, and His Confession in Latin, With a Parallel TranslationThere had ever been among the ancients a vague and shadowy notion that, in the Western Ocean, there was an island where the people were holy, where the rites of religion were duly observed, and where the fields were always green. No one can tell who originated this notion, but it Spread widely, and has ¿oated down to our own times. It is referred to in the legend of the island of Atlantis, as well as in that of the Isle of Calypso, the Hesperides, the Fortunate Isles, the Elysium of Homer, and the Heaven of the Indians, some happier island in the watery waste.Some enthusiastic Hibernians think this island was their own green Erin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
