DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally edited by F.X. Martin in 1963, this is the 50th anniversary edition of the classic work on the Irish Volunteers. This book is a wonderful and unique historical record of the Irish Volunteer movement, revealing fascinating documents and essays written by the leading members of Irish nationalism, during a period when the Irish people witnessed social and cultural changes that were as radical as anything seen in Irish history. Including contributions by Bulmer Hobson, Eoin MacNeill, Pádraig Pearse, Michael Davitt, The O’Rahilly, Éamonn Ceannt, and Seán T. Ó Ceallaigh, this a rich compendium of essays, original letters, first hand reports, inspiring speeches, newspaper editorials, military and administrative instructions as well as members’ subscription lists. This classic text explains how the Irish Volunteers, encompassing a new generation of Irish men and women, oversaw the develop ment of a new and re- energized movement, free from much of the party-political machinations and interference that had hindered Irish nationalist attempts at self-determination in previous decades. As described in these essays, the Irish Volunteers were a ‘broad church’ encompassing members of the Gaelic League, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Sinn Féin, the IRB, Irish Citizen Army, Cumann na mBan and Fianna Éireann, all contributing to a unified and dynamic coalition. Something new and unprecedented occurred in Irish history – a movement which we are only now beginning to understand in terms of its great and distinctive legacy, a full century later.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Irish Recollections I was born in the City of Cork, a city sur rounded by some Of the most picturesque, poetic, and delightful regions to be found anywhere throughout the island. It is divided by the River Lee, and the Lee itself passes down through a district ornamented by beautiful, although not lofty hills and through exquisite plains, rich meadows, and delightful gardens, then streams through the city, and at last pours itself into the harbour of Queenstown, called in my early days the Cove of Cork, or more commonly by the abbreviated name of Cove, into the open sea. The home which I remember best in Cork was made up of a small house with a garden running down to the edge of the river, and when one had closed the gate behind him he seemed to be removed entirely from the commonplace working day world of business and traffic. He was stand ing at one end of a pretty garden with its little meadow, its fruit trees, and its abundant flowers, and just beneath him flowed the River Lee, there a narrow, rushing stream along whose opposite bank were meadows and trees, and in the farther background gently sloping hills.
