(_Sealy, Bryers_). 3_s._ 6_d._ Portrait. 1907.

This is simply a new American ed. of _Irish Fairy Tales_. =LEE, Aubrey.= ⸺ A GENTLEMAN’S WIFE. Pp. 328. (EDINBURGH: _Morton_). 6_s._ 1904. Part I. tells how a peasant girl is, after a week’s acquaintance, enticed from her home by a man who, it transpires, is already married. In Part II. their daughter, adopted by a saintly English clergyman, learns her parentage on the morrow of her engagement. She releases her betrothed; but a year afterwards marries a charming elderly baronet (the “gentleman” of the story). The first part is rather coarse. The book is witty, the plot well worked out, some of the characters most amusing; the end unexpected. By the same Author: _John Darker_. =LEFANU, J. Sheridan.= B. in Dublin, 1814. Ed. T.C.D.
