THE PRIEST’S BLESSING. By HARRIETT JAY, Author of “Two Men and a Maid,”
“The Queen of Connaught,” &c.
(Dedicated to the RIGHT HON. W. E. FORSTER, M.P.)
_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
“Told with much pathos and power.”—_Era._
“We can say for ourselves that we have read its three hundred
pages with unfailing interest.”—_Saturday Review._
“It is an interesting story, and thoroughly well worth the
perusal of all who have the welfare at Ireland and the Irish
honestly at heart.”—_Sunday Times._
“Intimate knowledge of the national character is shown by the
writer, who inscribes her book to Mr. Forster in earnest and
somewhat impulsive language.”—_Daily Telegraph._
“Miss Harriett Jay is already so well known to the public as
a perfect mistress of style, that we need bestow no greater
praise upon the little volume before us than by saying that
in this respect it fully justifies the reputation acquired by
the author of ‘The Queen of Connaught.’... Is well and boldly
written.”—_Court Journal._
“Miss Jay paints with graphic power the scenes of the
story, and some of her descriptions of events and
incidents are most vigorous and refreshing in their terse
eloquence.”—_Nonconformist._
“Any one who wishes to realise the mischief which may be done
by the ceaseless plotting of the Catholic priests cannot do
better than read ‘The Priest’s Blessing.’”—_Lloyd’s._
“The novel is certain to attract exceptional
attention.”—_Graphic._
