M A C M I L L A N AND CO. i866. \The Ki^^ht of Translation and Rcpioduclion is fcscrvcJ.'l JOSEPH SHERIDAN LE FANU, Esq, AUTHOR OF " UNCLE SILAS," ETC. Dear Sir, I beg to offer this collection of Irish Legends to your acceptance, from respect for your high position among English writers, in consideration of your being a truly good man, and in gratitude for your kind encouragement of my own literary attempts. Without that encouragement I should probably never have an opportunity of penning a dedication to an)- one. I am, dear Sir, Your faithful Servant, PATRICK KENNEDY. Lough na Piastha Cottage. PREFACE. Though the subject of this volume seems Hght and frivolous enough, it might be preceded, and accom panied, and concluded by grave and tiresome disserta- tions ; and if our hopes were limited to its perusal by readers of an archaeological turn, we would freely ex- haust all the philosophy of fiction in our possession upon them. But from our early 5fouth we have felt the deepest interest in the stories and legends which are peculiar to the Irish, or which they possess in common with all the Indo-European races, and our dearest wish is that their memory should not fade from the minds of the people. They have existed in one form or other from long before the Christian era, and have been mainly pre- served by oral tradition among the unlettered. Taking into consideration the diminishing of our population by want and emigration, and the general diffusion of book-learning, such as it is, and the growing taste for the rubbishy tales of the penny and halfpenny journals, we have in these latter times been haunted with the horrid thought that the memory of the tales heard in boyhood would be irrecoverably lost. To prevent an viii Preface. evil of such magnitude {in our judgment to wit), we submitted some of the treasured lore to the editor of the Dublin University Magazine in the year 1862. Though his favourite walk in fiction, in which he is excelled by no living writer, admits only of the flesh and blood beings of our own times, he was not without sympathy for story tellers and story listeners who could be inter- ested by the naive and broadly-defined personages of the household story. So the " Leinster Folk Lore " was allowed an appearance in that national magazine, and now, through the liberality of our present publishers, we look to the preservation of a portion of our light litera- ture which would otherwise be probably lost. If the large-souled man cannot look upon anything human as foreign to his sympathies, he cannot but feel interest in inventions which, however artless in structure, improbable in circumstance, and apparently destitute of purpose, have engrossed the attention of fireside audi- ences probably since the days of Homer. This leads us to hope for the approbation of thoughtful and compre- hensive minds as well as of that of the young, and as yet unvitiated by the exciting and demoralizing pictures of unmitigated wickedness abounding in modern fiction. The, greater part of the stories and legends in this volume are given as they were received from the story tellers with whom our youth was familiar. A few of them thus heard we read at a later period, and in an im- Preface. ix proved form, in the Bardic historians and in MSS., some kindly furnished us by the late estimable archcsologist, John Windele, of Cork. No story in the present col- lection is copied either in substance or form from any writer of the present or past generation. The subjects of some have of course been already used by other col- lectors, but they and the present compiler had a common source to draw from. But to occupy the reader's attention with a long pre- face to a volume of light reading, would be worse than keeping a hungry company from a simple and scanty meal by a prolonged grace. If a fastidious reader fails to take pleasure or interest in the mere tales, and expe- riences contempt for the taste of those ancestors of ours who could have relished them so much as they evidently did, perhaps he may be induced to search into the his- tory, and the polity, and the social usages of those easily-pleased folk, and discover the cause of their want of critical acumen. In this case the acquisition of archaeological knowledge, more or less, will recompense the time lost in the perusal of a mere Folk's Book. ^WY/ CONTENTS, FACE Dedication v Preface vii PART I.—HOUSEHOLD STORIES.

  • Partitive Article
    Book Disentangling bare nouns and nominals introduced by a partitive article IHSANE, Tabea (Ed.) Abstract The volume Disentangling Bare Nouns and Nominals Introduced by a Partitive Article, edited by Tabea Ihsane, focuses on different aspects of the distribution, semantics, and internal structure of nominal constituents with a “partitive article” in its indefinite interpretation and of potentially corresponding bare nouns. It further deals with diachronic issues, such as grammaticalization and evolution in the use of “partitive articles”. The outcome is a snapshot of current research into “partitive articles” and the way they relate to bare nouns, in a cross-linguistic perspective and on new data: the research covers noteworthy data (fieldwork data and corpora) from Standard languages - like French and Italian, but also German - to dialectal and regional varieties, including endangered ones like Francoprovençal.

  • The People of Belgium
    THE PEOPLE OF BELGIUM. BY THE EDITOR. BELGIUM is the borderland between the Teuton and the Gaul. The population is mixed. The northern provinces are Flemish and the southern districts are inhabited by the Walloons, who are neither 'l>utons nor Gauls, but a remnant of a more primitive population which held the country before the arrival of the Celts. 'I'he blemish arc a Teutonic race and speak a dialect belonging to the (iermanic languages, one almost identical with the Dutch. It holds a middle ])osition between English and IvOw (jerman, whicJi is on the \erge of extinction, and in fact the Dutch and the Flemish ha\e preserved more faithfully than any other Teutonic tribes the traditional language of northern Germany as it was spoken centuries ago before the rise of High German. Low German was spoken all over northern Germany until the Reformation, but then the literary language, which was High German, began to crowd Low German out of the pulpit and also out of the school. The language of Luther's translation of the Bible, a literary dialect which was the official intertribal language of Germany, became generally recognized and gradually replaced the popular dialects of Low German speech. The process of this change has been slow but irresistible. Some of the present gen- eration in such northern cities as Bremen and Hamburg may still remember having talked in their childhood to the servants in the house in Low German, while in school the accepted language was High German.
