Inverted commas are used thus “M. E. Francis” to indicate a _pen-name_.
The writers’ works are entered under the name most familiar to the
public, under Katharine Tynan and Rosa Mulholland rather than under Mrs.
Hinkson and Lady Gilbert. However, in the case of old books I have not
thought it useful to place the book under the literary disguise. I have
entered them under the real name, with a cross-reference. I fear that
perfect uniformity and consistency has not been secured, but hope that
the book’s usefulness—utility, and not scientific precision, has been the
aim—is not thus impaired.
The _publishers_ mentioned are, so far as I have succeeded in discovering
them, the publishers not of the first, but of the latest edition.
Books published under a pseudonym which obviously could not be a real
name, I have entered as anonymous, except where I have come to know the
real name, in which case it will be found under the real name, with a
cross reference from the pseudonym.
When the note depends mainly or exclusively on a single already published
authority or source, this authority or source is indicated at the end of
the note.
IRISH FICTION UNDER NAMES OF AUTHORS, ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY.
=ANONYMOUS.=
⸺ ADVENTURER, THE.
In Mitchel’s _Life of Hugh O’Neill_ there is a note in
reference to his wooing of Sir Henry Bagenal’s sister, stating
that a novel was published founded on this story, and entitled
_The Adventurer_. (Query in I.B.L., vol. iv., p. 161.) This
book does not seem to be in the British Museum Library, but
I have found in an old catalogue a book with the title “The
Adventurers; or, Scenes in Ireland in the Reign of Elizabeth,
1825.” This is probably the book referred to by Mitchel.
⸺ ADVENTURES OF FELIX AND ROSARITO, THE; or, The Triumph of Love and
Friendship. Pp. 58. (Title-p. missing). 1802.
The hero is one Felix Dillon. Though the story begins and ends
in Dublin, its scene is chiefly France, and afterwards Spain.
⸺ ADVENTURES OF MR. MOSES FINEGAN, AN IRISH PERVERT. (N.Y.: _Benziger_).
$0.30.
⸺ ALBION AND IERNE: A Political Romance; by “An Officer.” Pp. 192.
(_Marcus Ward_). 1886.
An allegory in which the personages stand for countries and
institutions. Ierne is of course Ireland, Albion is England.
Then there are minor characters, such as Dash, Dupe, Plan,
Sacrifice. Under this form the relations between the two
countries and the possible results of separation are exhibited.
Ends with the happy marriage of Albion with Kathleen, Ierne’s
sister, and the burial of the hereditary feud.
⸺ ANNA REILLY, THE IRISH GIRL. (N.Y.: _Pratt_). $1.50.
⸺ BALLYBLUNDER: an Irish story. Pp. 291. (LONDON: _Parker_). 1860.
