"Here is a genuine Irish story-book, of the most amusing character.

and all their peculiarities are touched with a master's hand."--_Lit.

powerful hand."--_Sunday Times._

discipline, manners, opinions, and principles of our maritime
government, not to be eagerly examined and perhaps sharply discussed
