D., the distinguished dis-tinguished writter and dean of Ford-ham Ford-ham University, Xew York, delivered a lecture on "What Civilization Owes to Ireland" recently in Fall River, Mass., in the course of which he dwelt on the character of modern historical his-torical writing. Some one, he said, might ask why we had not found out what he had said In our histories if it wore true, and why we did not hear it talked about more. He would ask, on his own account, why our own histories his-tories arc written as they are, and why we continue to study them. He would cite New England history, for example. and named Palfreys, issued in 1857. Mr. Palfrey, in his book, said that Massachusetts Mas-sachusetts and the Xew England states generally had had no admixture of foreign for-eign population till well along In the nineteenth century. Senator Henry Cabot Ca-bot Lodge, writing historically, said practically the same as Palfrey, and added that it was fortunate there had been no admixture of foreign population. popula-tion. The speaker referred to ex-President Roosevelt's remark regarding his introduction to a Xew Hampshire gathering gath-ering as an Anglo-Saxon, that he had descended from the Dutch and the Irish and could not understand how he was an Anglo-Saxon. Dr. Walsh proceeded to criticise the historians for their omission of matters which might have been found by reference refer-ence to the custer rolls of Massachusetts. Massachu-setts. "There," said he, "we find familiar Irish names. There are 386 O'Briens; indeed, O'Brien Is a very common name on those rolls; 127 Kellys and 93 Burkes. The Shays number only 32. But there are Costigans and Costellos and Cassi-days Cassi-days on the roll, and as you go down it you discover nearly every Irish name. The speaker alluded to the strange mixture of proper names to be discovered discov-ered as one passed along the records of New England communities. Among the odd combinations mentioned were Obadiah Kelly and Praise-God O'Brien. Men of undoubted Irish origin and even of Irish birth fought in the Revolutionary Revolution-ary war. Many Irish girls were also deported to this part of the world. When we ee Priscilla Alden's name as here indicated, many do not recall that she was not of any such name before her marriage: Priscilla Alden's other name was Mullins. And you find that many of the women who came over about that time were Irish. |
