Varieties In Prose Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Varieties in Prose, Vol. 3 Many of the nobility and of the lower ranks of the English nation were there [in Ireland] at that time, who, in the days of the Bishops Finan and Colman, forsaking their native island, retired thither either for the sake of Divine studies or of a purer life; and some of them devoted themselves at once to a monastic life, others applied themselves to study, going about from one master's cell to another. The Irish willingly received them all, and took care to supply them with food, as also to furnish them with books to read and teaching, free of charge.
