“Michael, an honest, industrious youngster, not too good to use his fists when attacked by other boys, comes to the U.S., and steps into an excellent situation after three months of walking across the Continent. By a series of innocent misunderstandings, combined with hostile malice, he is made to appear guilty of theft; but the truth is soon manifest.... Told with much animation and liveliness.”—(AMERICAN ECCLES. REV.) Juvenile. ⸺ PILGRIM FROM IRELAND. (BOSTON: _Flynn_). 0.36. In print, 1910. =MAPOTHER, Mary J.= ⸺ THE DONALDS: an Irish Story (_Gill_). 6_s._ _c._ 1879. Not in British Museum Library. =MARSH, Mrs.= ⸺ THE NEVILLES OF GARRETSTOWN. Three Vols. (_Saunders & Otley_). 1860. The main plot is a somewhat slight story of a lost heir returning to claim his inheritance, which had been usurped by an intruder. But the chief interest lies in the numerous side incidents and digressions which are designed to portray various phases of the life of the times. Opens and closes at Clonmel, but the scene shifts to Dublin, Bantry, Paris, and other places. Introduces Jacobite conspiracies, street-rioting, hedge schools, city entertainments, political discussions, the working of the Penal laws, and historical personages, such as Primate Stone, Thurot, Prince Charles Edward, Archbishop Dillon, and many others. Is more or less on the side of the English colony, but is not unfair to any party. Has little or no character study, and not much human interest, but abounds in incident. =MARTIN, Miss H. L.= ⸺ CANVASSING. (_Duffy_). Still in print. (N.Y.: _Kenedy_). [1832]. Published as one of the O’Hara’s tales. An elaborate tale of matchmaking and marriage among the upper classes, written with a moral purpose. Incidentally there is a good picture of an election contest in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. =MARTINEAU, Harriet.= ⸺ IRELAND: a Tale. Pp. 136. (LONDON: _Fox_). 1832. Appeared in a series of illustrations of political economy. Written in the cause of the Irish poor, aiming to show “how long a series of evils may befal individuals in a society conducted like that of Ireland, and by what a repetition of grievances its members are driven into disaffection and violence.” Shows three sources of evils—thriftlessness in tenants, rapacity in landlords, misplaced benevolence. =MASON, Miss.= ⸺ KATE GEARY; or, Irish Life in London. (LONDON: _Dolman_). 1853.
