⸺ THE NIGHT NURSE. Pp. 318. (_Chapman & Hall_). 6_s._ Fifth edition. 1913. 2_s._ Life in a Dublin hospital, carefully observed. Sex problem of “the greater and the lesser love,” studied in a distinctly “biological” way. As foil to the main characters, who are of the respectable Protestant classes, we have “R.C.’s” of a most undesirable type, and, in the background, the wholly disreputable Irishry of a western town. The four plagues of Ireland are Priests, Politicians, Pawnbrokers, and Publicans, according to one of the personages. The medical interest is prominent throughout. By the same Author: _The Surgeon’s Log_. =ADAMS, Joseph.= ⸺ UNCONVENTIONAL MOLLY. Pp. 320. (_Methuen_). 6_s._ 1913. The young heir of the old rackrenting absentee comes (from Cambridge) incognito among his tenantry in the West and lives their life. He meets the heroine who gives its title to the book—with the expected result. The rest is a series of little episodes—fishing in a western mountain-stream, a day’s shooting on a moor, a sail on Clew Bay, a petty sessions court, a matchmaking, a fair, &c., &c., all with a splendid setting of Western scenery. Might be written by a sympathetic and kindly visitor who had enjoyed his holiday. =ALEXANDER, Eleanor.= Born at Strabane, daughter of the late Dr. Alexander, Archbishop of Armagh (d. 1911), and of Mrs. Cecilia Frances Alexander, both of them well known as poets. Educated at home. Has written verse for the SPECTATOR and for other periodicals. At the outbreak of war was preparing for publication a collection of Ulster stories illustrative of the peculiar humour of the North. Her _Lady Anne’s Walk_, a miscellany of historical reminiscence woven round a place and one who walked there long ago, contains an excellent bit of Ulster dialect—the talk of the old gardener. ⸺ THE RAMBLING RECTOR. Pp. 344. (_Arnold_). Third impression, 1904. (N.Y.: _Longmans_). 1.50. A story of love, marriage, and social intercourse among various classes of Church of Ireland people in Ulster. Draws a sympathetic picture of clerical life, the hero being a clergyman. Every character, and there are very many interesting types, is drawn with sure and distinct traits. There are no mere lay figures. John Robert is a curious and amusing study of a certain type of servant. Full of shrewd observation and knowledge of human nature, at least in all its outward aspects. Very well written. By the same author: _Lady Anne’s Walk_, _The Lady of the Well_, &c. =ALEXANDER, Evelyn.= ⸺ THE HEART OF A MONK. Pp. 318. (_Long_). 6_s._ 1910.
