Summary "The Irish Race in the Past and the Present" by Rev. Augustus J. Thébaud is a historical account that appears to have been written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the unique identity and character of the Irish people, exploring their history and culture while positioning them as a distinct and notable presence in the context of European nations. The author emphasizes the deeply Catholic nature of Irish identity and the resilience of the Irish spirit throughout centuries of hardship and foreign domination. The opening portion of the book sets a reflective tone, introducing readers to the idea that each nation reveals its character through its historical context and actions. Thébaud draws upon the thoughts of Count Joseph de Maistre regarding national identity, asserting that the Irish possess a strong individuality despite their struggles. He elaborates on the historical events that have defined the Irish experience, mentioning their struggles against various adversaries, such as the Northmen and Anglo-Normans, and their steadfast adherence to Catholicism amidst Protestantism's encroachments. This preface hints at a thorough exploration of Irish history and character, suggesting that the resilience and distinctiveness of the Irish race make it a compelling subject worthy of study.
