[The Felon’s Track by Michael Doheny]@TWC D-Link bookThe Felon’s Track PREFACE 27/27
Once more before his sudden death in April, 1862, he saw Ireland--on the occasion of the MacManus Funeral. Let me, said a wise man, always be surrounded by men of sanguine temperament.
Defeat and exile could not dim the faith of Doheny in his country.
The fugitive who had wrecked his fortunes in Ireland's cause and witnessed a failure which English statesmen believed ended for ever the dream of Irish independent nationhood, set his foot in exile only to begin anew to plan Ireland Independent.
So long as the sanguine heart that carried Michael Doheny undaunted along the Felon's Track beats in the breast of his country the Irish Nation will be indestructible. ARTHUR GRIFFITH. _This Edition is reprinted from the Original Edition published in New York by W.H.Holbrooke, Fulton Street, in October, 1849.
The portraits of the Young Ireland leaders are mainly from the daguerreotypes by Professor Gluckmann, and the illustrations of Tipperary in 1848 are reproduced from the "Illustrated London News" of that year._ CONTENTS.
