Synopsis
Excerpt from Geraldine of Desmond, or Ireland in the Reign of Elizabeth, Vol. 1 of 3: An Historical Romance
In those records virtues are strangely mingled with crimes both engendered by that wild spirit which, at all uncivilized eras, has led to a display of the elevated and ignoble passions of mankind.
It follows that the contrasts of character, and uncommon situations derived from such sources, must be almost infinite, and precisely those which present the rudiments that the writer of romance requires.
