Letters of James Maher, on Religious Subjects: With a Memoir (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Letters of James Maher, on Religious Subjects: With a Memoir

It is not my intention in these prefatory pages to write a detailed life of the Rev. James Maher, P.P., whose letters are published in this volume. Interesting as such a work would be, it would require much more leisure than I can command. The task which I at present undertake is a far easier one. It is to gather together a few prominent facts connected with the life of this venerable Priest, and to set before the reader some of his scattered papers which have come into my hands, and which I trust may be found not wholly devoid of public interest.

He was born at Donore, in the country Carlow, on the 24th of May, 1793.
