Synopsis "Ancient Cures, Charms, and Usages of Ireland: Contributions to Irish Lore (in English)"
"Ancient Cures, Charms, and Usages of Ireland" is an interesting compilation that mixes a bit of religious lore with straight occult folklore and some civics and politics to boot. It contains a large number of odd supernatural stories, especially regarding fairies and the dead, as well as a lengthy exposition on Irish independence which, at the time, had not been recognized.With additional materials related to folk medicine, herbalism, and proverbs, this is a highly comprehensive book, albeit one which has a specific political ax to grind- explicitly pro-Irish and perhaps pro-American while chastising the English.
