Life in and about Galway during Penal times. The peasantry are
portrayed as well as the citizens and the upper classes. The
plot is somewhat rambling, yet the book is interesting. In
Allibone this is said to be by Maurice Dennis Kavanagh, LL.D.,
called to the Bar at the Middle Temple, 1866.

Period: the Famine years and Smith O’Brien rising. The
sufferings of the people sympathetically described. The Young
Ireland movement dwelt on both from an English and an Irish
standpoint. All through the book constant contrast between
English and Irish characters, showing their incompatibility,
and on the whole the superiority of the English; yet the book
shows sympathies with Home Rule, to which one of the chief
characters is converted. There are some descriptions of scenery
in Connemara.
