To The General Reader The Celtic Renaissance Was A Surprise, And Even To Irish Writers Deeply Interested In Their Country The Phenomenon Or Movement, Call It Which You Will, Was Not Appreciated As Of Much Significance At Its Beginning.

I have endeavored, with what success has been alreadydetermined by the voice of my own country, to give a panorama of Irishlife among the people--comprising at one view all the strong points oftheir general character--their loves, sorrows, superstitions, piety,amusements, crimes, and virtues; and in doing this, I can say withsolemn truth that I painted them honestly, and without reference to theexistence of any particular creed or party.
