=DEVINE, D. C.= Is a native of Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo, where at present he is a National School Teacher. Is a man of about 45. ⸺ FAITHFUL EVER, and Other Tales. Pp. 280. (_Duffy_). 2_s._ 1910. Eleven stories of Sligo peasant life. The Author has thorough sympathy with the aspects of life about which he writes. Three of the tales are love stories, one is a story of ’67, others are humorous, _e.g._, “Meehaul M’Cann’s Wooing.” We have a glimpse of the dance, the pattern, rustic courtship, lake and mountain scenery. The Author avoids politics, but the Catholic atmosphere is pronounced, throughout. The literary standard is, perhaps, not of a high order. ⸺ BEFORE THE DAWN IN ERIN. Pp. 308. (_Duffy_). 2_s._ [1913]. Second edition. 1914. A story of landlord, agent, and tenant in the County Sligo, about the eighteen thirties or forties, bringing out what a hostile agent can do to make the lot of the peasants a very hard one, and showing how in the end his machinations are brought to nought thanks to Father Pat. This latter and Father Tom are fine types of Irish priests. The Author has a good eye for characters and a keen sense of humour. =DILLON, Patricia.= Born in Dublin. Educated chiefly in France. Has lived most of her life in London. Has written for periodicals on historical subjects for the most part. ⸺ EARL OR CHIEFTAIN. Pp. 140. (_C.T.S. of Ireland_). 1_s._ 1910. The opening career of Hugh O’Neill looked at on its romantic side, including his marriage with Mabel Bagenal. Other historic characters appear in the tale, notably Feagh MacHugh O’Byrne. =DODGE, W. P.= ⸺ THE CRESCENT MOON. Pp. 125. (_Long_). 1_s._ 6_d._ 1911. A little love story, told skilfully enough in letters from Sir Desmond Fitzgerald to his brother in S. Africa.—[T. LIT. SUPPL.]. =DOLLARD, Rev. J. B.= ⸺ THE GAELS OF MOONDHARRIG. Pp. 124. (_Sealy, Bryers_). 6_d._ A collection of pleasant, breezy tales of the exploits, especially in hurling, of the young men of Moondharrig (South Kilkenny), showing an intimate knowledge and love of the people of the author’s native place. An unobtrusive spirit of piety runs through it. =DORSEY, Anna Hanson.=[3] Born Georgetown, D.C., 1815. Received into the Catholic Church, 1840. She is a pioneer of Catholic light literature in the States. Nearly all her stories—there are more than thirty of them—have a religious purpose, but as a rule this is not too much forced on the reader. She was a Laetare medallist, described as the highest honour the Church in America can bestow. Some titles of her books are—_Tears on the Diadem_, _Dummy_, _Tangled Paths_, _Warp and Woof_, and her last _Palms_, which was by many considered her best. [3] Her daughter, Ella Loraine Dorsey, has written even more than Mrs. A. H. Dorsey, and is one of the most prominent figures in American Catholic literature.
