⸺ BALLYGULLION. Pp. 249. (_Maunsel_). 6_s._ Handsome cover. 1908. Cheap edition. 1_s._ 1915. A dozen stories supposed to be told by one Pat Murphy, in the humorous brogue affected by country story-tellers. Comic character and incident in neighbourhood of Northern town. Considerably above the usual books of comic sketches. A good example of the humour is “The Creamery Society”—the visit of the Department’s expert, and his failure to make butter from whitewash, and the difficulties that arise incidentally between Nationalists and Orangemen, followed by Father Connolly’s famous speech. Perhaps “Father Con’s Card-table” ought to have been omitted. =[DOYLE, M.]; “M. E. T.”= ⸺ EXILED FROM ERIN. Pp. 266. (_Duffy_). _n.d._ (N.Y.: _Benziger_). 0.45. A homely, pleasant tale relating the pathetic life-story of two brothers of the peasant class. The scene of the first part of the tale is laid in Shankill, Vale of Shanganagh, Co. Dublin, afterwards it changes to Wales, and then to America. The Author tells us that his story is a true one, and that his endeavour throughout has been to draw a faithful and sympathetic picture of the life of the humbler classes. The sorrow and misfortune of emigration is feelingly rendered. =“DRAKE, Miriam”=; =Mrs. Clarke=, _née_ =Marion Doak= (_q.v._). Born Dromard, Co. Down. =DREISER, Theodore.= ⸺ JENNIE GERHART. (_Harper_). 6_s._ $1.35. 1911. “A piece of industrial realism, inartistic and undramatic, but thoroughly honest and full of serious thought. The fortunes of two immigrant families, German and Irish, are contrasted. Jennie is the daughter of the unsuccessful German, and falls a victim to the pleasure-loving son of the enterprising Irishman, who illustrates the dangers of our ... social organization.”—(_Baker_ 2). =DROHOJOWSKA, Mme. la Comtesse.= ⸺ RÉCITS DU FOYER, LÉGENDES IRLANDAISES, SCÈNES DE MŒURS. Pp. 208. (PARIS: _Josse_). 1861. Introd. very favourable to Ireland, but based on insufficient and not first-hand information. It dwells chiefly on Irish religious faith; also on superstition in Ireland. Then come the legends—King Laura Lyngsky, Glendalough (King O’Toole’s Goose), Donaghoo (a learned schoolmaster, who found a gold mine); King O’Donoghue (Killarney), Grace O’Malley and Queen Elizabeth, The King of Claddagh, John O’Glyn (a fisherman who marries a mermaid, and joins her in the sea), James Lynch, &c. =DUFF GORDON, Lady.= ⸺ STELLA AND VANESSA. Trans. (_Ward, Lock_). [1850: _Bentley_]. 1859. Days of Swift, _c._ 1730. From the French of Léon de Wailly. The scene is laid entirely in Ireland. The story opens at Laracor. Swift is, of course, one of the central figures. =DUGGAN, Ruby M.= ⸺ ONLY A LASS. Pp. 169. (_Sealy, Bryers_). 6_d._ Paper.
