Patrick's two guardian angels came to him now: Aibellan and Solusbrethach, of whom he enquired whether in God's sight it were convenient for him to be listening to stories of the Fianna.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
