Project Gutenberg 2008-11-10 Public domain in the USA. 202 Brooke, Henry 1783 Brooke, H. (Henry) An Essay on the Antient and Modern State of Ireland "An Essay on the Ancient and Modern State of Ireland" by Henry Brooke is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. This work engages with the history of Ireland, particularly focusing on its ancient origins, the significant role of St. Patrick, and the subsequent transformations under English rule. The essay not only reflects on Ireland's past but also contemplates the socio-political circumstances of its contemporary state under the reign of King George II. The opening portion of the essay sets a foundational tone, explaining the author's motivation to address the prevailing ignorance among the youth about their homeland. Brooke expresses concern for the misconceptions propagated by those who have returned from abroad with a disdain for their native land. He begins by outlining three significant periods in Irish history: the settlement by a Spanish colony, the arrival of St. Patrick, and the submission to Henry II of England. The text highlights the cultural and religious developments during these epochs, especially focusing on the contributions of St. Patrick, who, after considerable personal trials, emerged as a pivotal figure in converting Ireland to Christianity. The author aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Ireland's heritage, emphasizing its impact on current affairs. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
