Abstract

When the Roman Empire disintegrated and its learning was, for the time, buried by an avalanche of barbarism, Ireland alone of the many provinces which had shared in its commerce and learning, was undisturbed. Ireland had a mission; it was to be the haven in which classical learning was kept alive and it was to be the means, when the time was ripe, of carrying this culture throughout Europe.
