“Green Graves in Ireland,” by Walter Lecky, is a delightful little
book.—_Western Watchman._
It is a well written, and pathetic tribute to the heroes who suffered
in the holy cause of freedom.—_Donahoe’s Magazine._
There is mingled pathos and humor in the volume.—_Ave Maria._
The author’s style is bright and pungent; and this literary flavor
he preserves throughout the pages of this very attractive book. He
understands the spirit and sparkle of the Irish mind, and he has caught
a good deal of it in his jaunting car excursions about the Irish
capital.—_Catholic World._
A clever monograph. Walter Lecky has written exquisitely.—_Catholic
News, N. Y._
The book will interest all who really love the country of the bards,
and will be an excellent stimulus to young persons inclined to forget
the fame of their ancestors.—_Boston Pilot._
Large literary ability.—_Union Times._
An important and valuable addition to the growing literature of
America.—_True Witness._
The paper and type of the little volume are excellent; surprisingly
so, for the low price at which it may be procured. For the rest we can
say that Mr. Lecky’s style invests his subject with a charm which, we
think, will induce the most unwilling reader who has opened his little
book to persevere through its entire contents.—_American Ecclesiastical
Review._
Walter Lecky is comparatively a new name in literature, but it is
one destined to stand for good and beautiful things, especially the
Catholic readers. His Adirondack sketches in the Catholic World are one
of the brightest features of that excellent magazine.—_Boston Pilot._
