About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...Uaciia imopjio mtifo.1.--"caves Now Here, I.e." Uch. Ainjcoa..--" Cave of Ainged." This story is preserved in T.

Two culprits were hung upon a tree at Crimchan on the previous day, and left suspended from it till the night of Samain should have passed off--for on that night it is stated that all the Sid of Erin were left open for ingress and egress to all. It was then, as now, supposed to be a wicked and a dangerous thing to meddle with the remains of the dead, as the demons and the people of the Sid were at large over the world on the night of Samain (or November), and both were supposed to pay particular attention to the bodies of the dead and to surround the places of their deposit. To test the valour of his household, Ailell offered a reward of a gold-hilted sword--the emblem of knighthood--to any young warrior who would go out and tie a gad, (or coil of twisted twigs), upon the leg of one of the culprits who were still hanging from the gallows-tree. Several ambitious young men ...
