            <text>"Lough Derg, in the county Donegal, is not a very large, and by  no means a very beautiful lake ; but in it there are two islands which have made it famous. Station Island is still annually visited by more than 10,000 penitents, and Saints' Island contained the original St. Patrick's Purgatory, in medieval times one of the most frequented places of pilgrimage in the world. This St. Patrick's Purgatory has a strange and chequered history. Its origin is hidden in the mists of fable ; it has been celebrated by historians, poets, and theologians ; it was suppressed by the Pope, desolated in the time of Charles I., banned by edict of Queen Anne, even the site of the shrine itself was changed ; yet, in spite of time, and change, and penal enactments, it still retains its place in popular favour. From the time of Gerald Barry to Carleton, ignorance, bigotry, and credulity— -each had its own story to tell of Lough Derg — and, as might be expected, that story was most part lies. Even the great Catholic writers of the seventeenth century tell some very strange things of St. Patrick's Purgatory, and, not having visited the island themselves, their local descriptions are not always quite accurate."</text>
