Ireland
Paralleling his friend Alexis de Tocqueville's visit to America, Gustave de Beaumont traveled through Ireland in the mid-1830s to observe its people and society. In Ireland, he chronicles the history of the Irish and offers up a national portrait on the eve of the Great Famine. Published to acclaim in France, Ireland remained in print there until 1914.

Their veneration of the celestial bodies laid the foundation of their astronomical science, allowing them to regulate their festivals and religious ceremonies. Today, we can still learn from the Druids' knowledge and reverence for nature. Explore their wisdom and connect with ancient traditions that honor the power and eternal being of the universe.
