Subtitled: In quo plerasque justi historici dotes desiderari plerosque naevos inesse ostendit Gratianus Lucius Hibernus qui etiam aliquot res memorabiles Hibernicas veteris et vovae memoriae passim e re nata huic operi inseruit. Cambrensis Eversus has been generally esteemed one of the most valuable works on the history of Ireland. Viewed merely as a refutation of Giraldus de Barry it was on some points unsuccessful but its comprehensive plan embracing a great variety of well-digested and accurate information on every period of Irish history makes it a valuable work.

".The many thousands of German immigrants who helped to settle Texas in its formative years around the middle of the nineteenth century and then again in the decades after the Civil War brought with them a cultural heritage unique in its variety and richness. The visual in a folkloric sense 'material' aspects of this transplanted German culture have long been admired in the Lone Star State. Much less accessible but no less important and representative of this cultural heritage is the 'non-material' record. Intellectually and spiritually Texas Germans have influenced the political the educational and the religious development of Texas in distinctive ways. There is also an abundant linguistic record. In addition to the spoken language Texanisch-Deutsch there is the record of the written language not only that brought over from Germany but the 'new' record described in the German language of being an immigrant or being a pioneer and eventually of being a citizen of Texas and of the United States."
