A sensational story with nothing really Irish about it. The only Irish character is almost a caricature. =DUNBAR, Aldis.= ⸺ THE SONS O’ CORMAC; an’ Tales of other Men’s Sons. Pp. x. + 240. (_Longmans_). 6_s._ Eight illustr. by Myra Luxmoore. 1904. “Some of the old heroic legends retold by a humorous Irishman for children.”—(_Baker_). The stories (there are twelve) are very clever, picturesque, and, like all good tales of faërie, full of unconscious poetry.—_I.E.R._ =DUNN, Joseph.= ⸺ THE ANCIENT IRISH EPIC TALE: TÁIN BO CUALGNE, THE CUALGNE CATTLE RAID. Now for the first time done entire into English out of the Irish of the Book of Leinster and allied Manuscripts. Pp. xxxvi. + 382. Demy 8vo. (_Nutt_). 25_s._ 1914. Pref., on Irish Epic in general, and on the Táin in particular. The Editor calls it “the wildest and most fascinating saga tale, not only of the entire Celtic world, but even of all Western Europe.” The work is a scholarly one, the various MSS. being carefully collated by means of marginal- and foot-notes. The Irish text is not given. Index of place and personal names. A somewhat archaic style is adopted, but this is not overdone. “The Táin,” says the Ed. truly, “is one of the most precious monuments of the world’s literature.” The Ed. is a professor in the Catholic University of Washington, D.C., U.S.A. =[DUNN, N. J.].= ⸺ VULTURES OF ERIN: a Tale of the Penal Laws. Pp. 530 (N.Y.: _Kenedy_). 1.50. One woodcut. 1884. Edward Fitzgerald is robbed of his property by his enemy, Templeton, who accuses him falsely of a murder instigated by himself. Shemus M’Andrew plots and plans to save Fitzg., but the latter is nevertheless condemned to death, and his wife loses her reason. He escapes, however, and after many years returns with proof of T.’s guilt. The wife recovers, and all ends happily. Scene: between Slieve Bouchta and Lough Derg. Religion not formally introduced, but Catholic bias very strong. Penal laws denounced, and scripture-readers appear in unfavourable light. =DUNNE, Finley Peter.= ⸺ THE DOOLEY BOOKS:— 1. MR. D.
