⸺ CHRONICLES OF CASTLE CLOYNE. Three Vols. (_Chapman & Hall_). 1886. Highly praised by the TIMES, the STANDARD, the MORNING POST, the SCOTSMAN, &c., &c. The IRISH MONTHLY says: “It is an excellent Irish tale, full of truth and sympathy, without any harsh caricaturing on the one hand, or any patronizing sentimentality on the other. The heroine, Oonagh M’Dermott, the Dillons, Pat Flanagan, and Father Rafferty are the principal personages, all excellent portraits in their way; and some of the minor characters are very happily drawn. The conversation of the humbler people is full of wit and common sense; and the changes of the story give room for pathos sometimes as a contrast to the humour which predominates. Miss Brew understands well the Irish heart and language; and altogether her “Pictures of Munster Life” (for this is the second title of the tale) is one of the most satisfactory additions to the store of Irish fiction from _Castle Rackrent_ to _Marcella Grace_.” =[BRITTAINE, Rev. George].= Was Rector of Kilcormack, Diocese of Ardagh. Died in Dublin, 1847. The ATHENÆUM of December 14, 1839, said of the first three works mentioned below: “The sad trash which is here put forward as a portraiture of the social condition of the Irish peasantry needs no refutation; in his ardour to calumniate, the Author has forgotten that there are limits to possibility, and that when they are overstepped the intended effect of the libel is lost in its absurdity.” All this writer’s books seem to have appeared anonymously. ⸺ CONFESSIONS OF HONOR DELANY. Pp. 86. (DUBLIN: _Tims_). 1_s._ 6_d._ [1830]. Third ed., 1839. She admits getting a pension as a reward for “turning.” ⸺ IRISH PRIESTS AND ENGLISH LANDLORDS. Pp. 249. (DUBLIN: _Tims_). [1830]. Second ed., 1839; others 1871, 1879. “By the author of _Hyacinth O’Gara_.” A priest has authority from a bishop to marry a girl to a man against her will.
