Synopsis
Excerpt from Priests and People in Ireland The first edition of Priests and People was practically sold out within a fortnight after its appearance. Unwilling to presume too much upon public favour, I had made no provision for reproducing the work; and, in consequence, we were unable to supply the trade during the greater portion of September and all October. I sincerely thank the many newspapers that reviewed the work, and I express my indebtedness not less to those critics who have pointed out my shortcomings than to those, and they were many, who gave me their unqualified praise. I have incorporated the most recent county census papers in this edition, and it is satisfactory to me to find that my estimated of those counties in the first edition have been verified by the official returns.

About the Author
Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918) did more than any other American to impress upon late nineteenth- and twentieth century thought the idea that science and religion are enemies locked in combat on an almost military scale. In 1849, he entered Geneva College and later enrolled in Yale. After graduating, White joined the University of Michigan as a lecturer in history. He returned to New York and won election to the state senate. Finally, White went on to become the first president and cofounder of Cornell University. He also is the author of books, including Seven Great Statesmen in the Warfare of Humanity with Unreason and a 1906 autobiography.

Priests and People in Ireland (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the role of the Catholic Church in Irish society, specifically examining the power and influence of its priests. The author argues that the Church's pervasive presence in Irish life has stifled progress and perpetuated a cycle of dependency and underdevelopment in the country. The book contends that the Church's focus on obedience and subservience has hindered the intellectual and civic growth of Irish citizens, contributing to a lack of self-reliance and a reluctance to challenge authority. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author presents a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between religion and social progress, delving into the historical and cultural factors that have shaped the current state of affairs in Ireland. The book's insights offer a valuable perspective on the enduring influence of religious institutions in shaping societal norms and behaviors.
