Scene: Kilkenny. Time: 1880-84. Lucifer Scully, moneylender, by degrees becomes possessed of much land, and grinds down the tenants. They revolt, and this gives opportunity for good descriptions of evictions and reprisals. Fred O’Brien, a fine character whose sweetheart is spirited away by the villainy of Scully, goes in pursuit of her, and has many adventures and disappointments before all ends happily. Mickey Crowe and his love episodes supplies the comic relief. The tone is strongly National, and the dialect well done. The Author has also written “A History and Guide to Waterford.” =ELIZABETH, Charlotte.= [Mrs. Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, 1790-1846]. ⸺ THE ROCKITE. [1832]. The Tithe War (_c._ 1820) from Protestant standpoint. Captain Rock was a famous leader of Whiteboys during the anti-tithe war.

Story of the Siege of Derry, written from ultra-Protestant standpoint. The proceeds of the sale of the book are to be devoted to teaching the Protestant religion “in their own tongue to the Irish-speaking aborigines of the land.”—(Pref.). The Author says elsewhere that “Popery is the curse of God upon a land.” And the expression of similar views is very frequent in the book. =ELRINGTON, H.= ⸺ RALPH WYNWARD. Pp. 310.
