“The story Mr. Healy’s valuable work tells, and tells well.... No one who peruses the work—no matter what judgment he may form upon the argument it contains—will be likely to lay it down without an expression of admiration for the almost marvellous ability and industry which have been devoted to its production.... The preparation of the volume must have involved an enormous amount of labour and research. In France it would be crowned by the Academy.”—_The Irish Catholic._ “Mr. Healy’s most interesting book.... Contains on every page the evidence of unending pains and research, is full of sidelights upon Irish history.... The erudite, yet fascinating, pages of Mr. Healy.”—_Catholic Book Notes._ “A notable volume.... The book is a monument of patient research.”—_Manchester Weekly Times._ “Mr. Healy has written a remarkable book which is of considerable interest.... The whole story is one of absorbing historic interest.”—_The Fish Trades Gazette._ “Mr. Healy has devoted much time to research, and he has produced a fascinating story.”—_Natal Mercury._ “What will please the general reader in ‘Stolen Waters’ is the incidental information, the look-as-you-go glimpses at the great Irish chieftains and clans.... Information of an unusual historical character.—_Chicago Inter-Ocean._ “The volume is important from a historical and legal standpoint.... Mr. Healy’s interesting book.—_Boston Globe._ “Mr. Healy’s long but interesting narrative.”—_Catholic University Bulletin (Washington)._ “A learned work.... If the decision of the House of Lords is proved to be based on documents that are either forgeries or letters patent obtained by a criminal act, then legislation would at once be introduced to deal with the matter.”—_Contemporary Review._ “Proves the patience of the writer, who gives us a narrative of historical interest as well as a work of real legal worth.... Many would surmise that a work on such a topic must be necessarily a ‘dry-as-dust’ book. We have found it interesting indeed. We do not think it possible to get a real insight into the Irish questions that loom so very large in politics to-day without reading of some of the methods adopted in ‘settling Ireland’ in Tudor times. The earlier chapters of this learned work give some valuable information on those matters. Historical and legal students will be indebted to the author for so many quotations of rather inaccessible documents.”—_Western Morning News._ “Of decided value to students of Irish history, for its pages show the chicanery and thirst for plunder that have been dominant in the past government of Ireland.”—_The Nation._ “Mr. T. M. Healy, M.P., is the raciest—and the bitterest—speaker in public life. His abilities are altogether uncommon. But if he will forgive us for saying so, he cannot write a book.”—_Birmingham Post._
