The Insurrection in Dublin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Insurrection in Dublin The day before the rising was Easter Sunday, and they were crying joyfully in the Churches Christ has risen. On the following day they were saying in the streets Ireland has risen. The luck of the moment was with her. The auguries were good, and, notwithstanding all that has succeeded, I do not believe she must take to the earth again, nor be ever again buried. The pages hereafter were written day by day during the Insurrection that followed Holy Week, and, as a hasty impression of a most singular time, the author allows them to stand without any emendation. The few chapters which make up this book are not a history of the rising. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
