It may be well to state at the outset in what respects the present work differs from _A Reader’s Guide to Irish Fiction_ published in 1910, and now out of print. The differences may be reduced to four:— (1). The number of books dealt with is almost double that of the earlier work. (2). The arrangement is quite new. In the former work the books were classified according to subject matter: in this they are arranged under the names of the Authors, these names being arranged alphabetically. Some lists are appended in which the books are classified as historical novels, Folk-lore, Gaelic Epic and Romantic Literature, &c. (3). A combined title and subject index has been provided, both of which were lacking in the earlier book. Some new matter is given in the Appendix, in particular some notes on fiction in Irish periodicals. (4). In _A Reader’s Guide_, &c., a few notes on Authors were added at the end. In the present work biographical notes on a large proportion of the Authors are given immediately before the notes on their books.
