The Diocese Of Meath Ancient And Modern Vol 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Diocese of Meath, Vol. 1: Ancient and Modern I concurred in his remarks, but urged the impossibility of a priest on the mission, in the midst of so many urgent, onerous, and responsible duties, remote too from public libraries, and labouring under innumerable inconveniences, attempting so serious and so difficult an undertaking. He combated my objections, adduced various examples of persons who, for love of religion and country, compiled and wrote under more adverse circumstances, and concluded by pressing me most earnestly to do my part and make a beginning. I at length consented: he promised me his cooperation and assistance; and we parted - alas! To meet no more. In a few months after this interview the learned and venerated Dr. Kelly departed this life, profoundly lamented by all who knew him or heard of him, and was buried in the cemetery of the College of Maynooth. Peace to his soul. His death was indeed a loss - an irre parable, a national loss, - as no priest of our generation took a more absorbing interest in collecting the scattered records of our country, ' and disentombing the venerable history of our Church. To me it was peculiarly and seriously lament able, as, had he lived, I would have received many judicious and valuable suggestions.
