"Next to Maria Edgeworth, there is no writer to whose pen Ireland is more deeply indebted for the generous advocacy of its claims, and graphic delineation of its living manners, by which the sympathies of the reader are engaged on behalf of its long oppressed population, than Mrs. Hall. No one more competent, as well as willing, to do justice to Ireland, could have been selected for the present task, than this very lively writer and her literary partner."—_The Patriot._ TORRINGTON HALL; Being an Account of Two Days, in the Autumn of 1844, passed at that philosophically conducted Asylum for the Insane.

The writer greatly enhances the intrinsic merits of his book by the pleasant style in which he occasionally garnishes his subjects as he serves them up."—_Argus._ End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Wise Saws and Modern Instances, Volume 1 (of 2), by Thomas Cooper
