DeepSeaEnjoyer: “Of these three certain colonisations of Ireland, the Firbolg was the first. Legend says they came from Greece, where they had been long enslaved, and whence they escaped in the captured ships of their masters.” Seumas MacManus, The Story of the Irish Race. Chapter 1.

FearfulJoycuit: "Seumas MacManus is appearing to rather disgusting monotony in the magazines just now". Apparently the Boston Home Journal wasn't too enamoured of young Shamie's "droll" tales of Donegal peasants.
