Excerpt from A Brief Account of the Rise and Progress of the Change in Religious Opinion
Fifteen years since, the writer of these pages first visited Dingle, as a tourist; the majestic scenery of this neighbourhood attracted some adventurous spirits even then, to explore its wilds. The roads had he come nearly impassable for any conveyance better than a car or Irish dray. The post was conveyed by foot-carriers; one man starting from Tralee, and the other from Dingle, and trotting at a pace which is very commonly practised by activeboys in Ireland, of between four and five English miles an hour; they met half way, by apass over the mountain, exchanged bags, and each trotted back to their respective towns, having accomplished a dis tance of fifteen English miles forward, and the same back; they did this every day, winter and summer, for which they received the pittance of seven shillings per week. I give this as an instance of the extreme backwardness of this spot, so lately as the year 1830. In this year, however, improvement commenced; a good road was carried along both sides of the range of mountains, — as may be seen in the map, — that on the northern side passing over the Conner, and open ing up a truly romantic and beautiful country.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the remarkable religious transformation taking place in a remote corner of Ireland during the mid-19th century. The author provides a firsthand account of the events that led to a surge of conversions from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism in the town of Dingle and its surrounding parishes. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the broader historical context of Ireland's religious landscape, where the influence of the Catholic Church was deeply entrenched and Protestant Christianity struggled to gain a foothold. The book explores the complexities of religious conversion, highlighting the role of individual faith, societal pressures, and the influence of clergy on both sides of the religious divide. It delves into the experiences of individual converts, detailing the challenges they faced, the persecution they endured, and the unwavering faith that sustained them. The author meticulously documents the tactics employed by Catholic priests to suppress the burgeoning Protestant movement, from verbal denouncements and social ostracism to the extreme measure of excommunication. The book serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and a compelling chronicle of a pivotal moment in Irish religious history. This intimate account of the struggle for faith in a deeply divided society offers valuable insights into the dynamics of religious change and the enduring power of individual conviction.
