Scenes I. and II. of Act I. of _Kathleen O'Neil_ were first
published in Vol. 1 of _The Irish Shield and Monthly Milesian_, a
monthly journal edited by Geo. Pepper, in New York, in 1829. Vol.
I., of this periodical was, I believe, all that was issued, and
the play was therefore probably never issued complete except as a
separate publication.

and never rebuilt).
