Coll. and ed., with sketch of Author, by W. Winter. FitzJames O’Brien was one of the most distinguished of Irish-American writers. B. Limerick, 1838. Ed. T.C.D. D. 1862. He is a master of the weird and eerie, after the manner of Lefanu (_q.v._) and Poe. His prose works are little if at all concerned with Ireland. ⸺ THE DIAMOND LENS, and Other Stories. (LOND.). 1887. Sketch of Author prefixed. Contains no Irish stories. =O’BRIEN, Hon. Georgina.= Eldest dau. of the late Lord O’Brien of Kilfenora, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. ⸺ THE HEART OF THE PEASANT, and Other Stories. Pp. 277. (_Sisley_). 6_s._ 1908. Twelve stories of various types. Some have a slight meaning behind the mere tale. Four or five do not concern Ireland, and several others do not touch peasant life. The tone is on the whole sympathetic towards the external aspects of Catholicism. The stories do not deal in politics or in problems. They are chiefly little aspects of life and feeling. The last and longest is a very modern story of the love affair of Rev. Mark Dibbs and a certain Lady Glynn. ⸺ A TWENTIETH CENTURY HERO. Pp. 308. (_Maunsel_). 6_s._ 1913. The scene and most of the characters of this story are English. Some Irish interest, however, is afforded by Mr. and Mrs. Flanagan, the latter bright, thrifty, busy; the former of the happy-go-lucky type, content to let his wife do the bread-winning. =O’BRIEN, Morrough.= ⸺ THE LEAGUE OF THE RING and TORN APART. (_Ireland’s Own Library_). 6_d._ _n.d._ (1914). Exciting stories of mysteries unravelled by the great Irish detective, Dermod O’Donovan. Villainy is defeated and couples are happily married. Quite healthy in tone, but very sensational. The scene is Belfast and neighbourhood. =O’BRIEN, Mgr. Richard Baptist; “Father Baptist.”= B. at Carrick-on-Suir, 1809. D. 1885. A distinguished priest, who was Dean of Limerick. Was well-known in religious and philanthropic works. He wrote poems for the NATION under the pen-name of “Baptist.” ⸺ AILEY MOORE. Pp. 311. (_Duffy_). 3_s._ 6_d._ [1856]. Fifth ed. _n.d._ (N.Y.: _Benziger_). 0.60. Period: the years before and after ’48. Plot pleasant, but main interest abundance of side incidents, character studies and details of Irish life, introduced chiefly to picture the evils of misgovernment prevailing at the time. The style is agreeable, though there are rather lengthy moralizings. It was advertised by Dolman as “showing how Eviction, Murder, and such like pastimes are managed and Justice administered in Ireland.” ⸺ JACK HAZLITT, A.M. Pp. 380. (_Duffy_). Third ed. _n.d._ Still in print. (N.Y.: _Benziger_). 0.60. [1875].
