Letters to the Rt. Rev. John Hughes, Roman Catholic Bishop of New York (Classic Reprint) by Frances B B B Frances B B B Frances Frances B B B Frances Kirwan Kirwan,Kirwan Kirwan Pdf
Excerpt from Letters to the Rt. Rev. John Hughes, Roman Catholic Bishop of New York Its sons have dorned the bar, the bench, the pulpit, the army, the navy, the legislatures, the Congress of these United States. That there are multitudes from Ireland who are no loss to their own country, nor any advantage to this, cannot be denied. The reasons for this I may examine hereafter. But yet we have many fine illustrations of Irish genius, character and valour, all along our history. And I have regarded yourself as one of them, so far forth as genius and force of character are concerned. And I have often pointed you out as an illustration of the high respectability which Irish character is capable of attaining when relieved from the burdens that oppress and debase it. Hence I have regarded as your eulogy the sneers of those who have ad dressed you as John Hughes, the Gardener. Such taunts come not from true men.
