PREFACE.

THe “good people,” or fairies—the terms are often in-
discriminately used—are still living realities to not a few

persons in Ireland. : A few years ago, in the county of

Waterford, I met a blind man, who was firmly convinced
that his blindness had been brought about by a fairy
woman, robed in white, who rushed past him, and eyed
him with angry looks, in the gloaming. In the county of
Galway, recently, a woman told me she believed that the
“good people” had snatched away her son, who had died

in the flower of youth. Such cases as these are, however,

exceptional. The time is past when tales of the “ good
people,” their freaks and revenges, half believed in, half
doubted, formed the staple of fireside conversation. That
much of poetry, of imaginativeness, of the realization of the
unmaterial and the unseen has vanished, as these half-
beliefs faded, there can be little doubt. The Irish language
was their only true exponent, and once they were grafted
on the English tongue, the traditional lore became broken,
and the legends corrupted, and writers in English, who

_ have endeavoured to describe this native mythology and

its hold on the people, have at best but produced a
ridiculous and revolting travesty. I cannot dwell here on
the relations of such beliefs to Supernatural Faith, but.
would refer the reader to some interesting pages in Father
O’Reilly’s ‘‘Trusty Vehicle of the Faith of the Gael”
(pp. 31-35).
