If that be so, the present work may be regarded as an experiment in that kind of composition, a kind which demands the employment of more than one or two mental faculties on the part both of the reader and of the writer. The authorities for the story are the Annals of the Four Masters Philip O'sullivan's charmingly Herodotean nar rative, in Latin, entitled Historian Hibernian; o'clery's Bardic Life of Hugh Roe and the Calendar of State Papers, Ireland, from 1587 forward.

    Excerpt from The Chain of Gold: A Tale of Adventure on the West Coast of IrelandI never rightly slept, and never without dreams, dreams usually of an unwelcome nature.As I dreamed now, the jar which I had been handling just before continued to appear and re-appear in my dreams, greatly increased in size. Then it seemed to me that there were people imprisoned in it, who passionately cried to me to liberate them. The voices that cried out seemed to me to be the voices of boys. I awoke with a start and sprang to my feet, trembling violently. But for this apparently grotesque and foolish vision the present story would never have been written. This fantastic dream was for me the beginning of a new life, the first link in a chain Of events which have formed for me the strangest experience which I have ever met with.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
