Book Description
Excerpt from The Church in Ireland: A Second Chapter of Contemporary History Protestant Church, the Bishop of Oxford lately declared in the House of Lords, that St. Patrick was_ the son of one married clergyman, and the grandson of another. He ought in candour to have added, that the only authorities on the subject are wholly at variance. In the 'confession, ' St. Patrick describes himself as the son of a deacon, who was himself the son of a presbyter in the Epistle to Coroticus, ' he says that he is of gentle birth according to the esh, his father a decurion, and that, for the sake of others, he sold his nobility. The name of Patricius, as well as the popular legends, are favourable to the latter statement. I do not wish, at the same time, to attach any undue importance to either of these documents. A recent writer has attempted to alter the barbarous texts, so as to bring the language of the Confession' into agreement with that of the 'epistle but with little success. The opinion of the learned Ledwich, that there is'no evidence of such a person as St. Patrick having ever lived in Ireland, and that his history is one of the most contemptible of fictions, goes perhaps somewhat too far; although a recent writer in Germany has also pronounced the writings, ascribed to St. Patrick to be fictitious, and the accounts of his life fabulous. I am, at the same time, constrained to acknowledge, that the arguments adduced against the existence of the historical St. Patrick of the fifth century are most cogent, and have never been satisfactorily answered. The more, indeed, we attempt to obtain a distinct'view of the saint and his achievements, the farther they recede from our sight; and, 'in spite of the efforts of clerical and national admirers, the eventful life of St. Patrick must, it is to be feared, disappear sooner or later from the page of history, and his memory be enshrined, along with that of other heroes of the same order, among the grand, but shadowy, figures of a semi-legendary period.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
