Morrissey SJ Boeken

Judge John O'Hagan was a Young Irelander, poet, educationist, and liberal scholar.

In 16th and 17th century Ireland religion and nationality fused together in a people's struggle to survive. In that struggle the country's links with Europe provided a life line. Members of religious orders, including the Irish Jesuits, with their international roots, played an important role.

This account of the Irish Jesuits from 1695 to 1811 is concerned with those who lived and worked in Dublin and, in particular, with a central figure, the quite remarkable educationalist and pastor, Thomas Betagh.
