“New ed. in four chapters.” The original was publ. by Gill, Dublin, 1871. Really a pamphlet showing up the place-hunting whiggery that prevailed in the Irish Bar at that time, and giving a picture of Irish politics after the Fenian insurrection, and at the outset of the Home Rule movement. ⸺ THE MISADVENTURES OF MR. CATLYNE, Q.C. An Autobiography. Two Vols. (_Tinsley_). 1873. Elaborates the idea of the above-mentioned work. Depicts, under assumed names, well-known Irish lawyers of the day. Intrigues of the candidate for a small Irish borough, and his difficulty in placating all parties well described. This originally appeared in FRASER’S MAGAZINE. There is little plot, and no romantic interest. ⸺ JERPOINT. An ungarnished Story of the Time. Three Vols. (_Chapman & Hall_). 1875. A satirical study of parvenus, snobs, and various curious types, very cleverly characterised. The story is chiefly concerned with the Courtneys, risen from the publichouse to county-family importance. P. 49 _sq._ gives an excellent picture of a meet, with a study of the personages present. Full of close observation and excellent descriptions. Among the best portraits are those of the Hanlon family, always shabby and out-at-elbows, yet ever struggling with fortune. We are not told the situation of “the Cathedral City of Jerpoint on the Sea.” =MALONE, Molly.= A Dublin lady, married to a Mr. Riordan, living in Carlow. ⸺ THE GOLDEN LAD. 16mo. (_C.T.S. of Ireland: Iona Series_). 1_s._ 1910. A study of Dublin slum-children, told with humour, insight, and sympathy, by one who thoroughly knows their ways. The dialect is faithfully rendered. =MANNERS, T. Hartley.= ⸺ PEG O’ MY HEART. Pp. 320. (_Hodder & Stoughton_). 1913. “Novelized” from a popular play. Peg is daughter of an Irish agitator of the eighties who goes to America in the troubled times. On the death of Peg’s mother her father returns to Ireland, and lives there for many years, till bright prospects call him back to America. But the main part of the action is taken up with Peg’s visit of a month to her English relations in Scarborough. The Author rather overdraws the contrast between English and Irish types. There is much clever dialogue. Ends with passing of second reading of Home Rule Bill, and the glorification of the one-time agitator. =MANNIX, Mary E.= ⸺ MICHAEL O’DONNELL; or, The Fortunes of a Little Emigrant. (BOSTON: _Flynn_). 0.60. [1900]. In print, 1910.
