kind favour, which makes me doubly happy, in the information that
you are well, and the satisfaction of still retaining a share in
your remembrance. Your choice of Lord Mornington[802] for your
Colonel gave me infinite satisfaction, and your design to continue
him at your head until he forfeits his claim to that honour by
some unbecoming and well-attested steps is equally founded in
wisdom and justice. Let it be the province of bigots to censure the
toast, after the reasons alleged for having given it. King William
was the first who scattered the seeds of liberty in this kingdom.
There is nothing in the frame of a Catholic that is averse to its
growth. He never violated his engagements with the Catholics of
Ireland, though often solicited to a breach of promise. There was
not a Stuart, from the first to the last, but betrayed them, either
from cowardice or treachery. James II. promised to repeal his
Declaration, on condition of being reinstated. What could freedom
expect from the resumption of his dignity?
'In the very heat of action, when the alternative was death or
victory, he commands _to spare his English subjects_.[803] _Poor
man! he was tender-hearted and pusillanimous!_ I care not. Bears
are fierce, and deer are timid. It is equal to me whether I suffer
by the claws of the one or the horns of the other. In my opinion,
though our sufferings have been long and unmerited, it is happy
for us that King William came over; for under weak kings of our
own religion, controlled by laws, we would be for ever obnoxious
to our fellow-subjects. Every gentleman from Dublin whom I meet
here talks with admiration of the Irish Brigade.[804] Sir Boyle
Roche, who wrote me a letter the other day, talks of them in a
strain of rapture. I never have seen an address from the Catholics
of Ireland but I spurned with indignation at, except your late
address to Earl Temple. They were always couched in the cringing
language of servility, and even falsehood, boasting of _common
blessings_, when it was in the power of your children to strip
you of your kitchen-gardens and the shoeboy of your houses. In
your last address you spoke as Gentlemen, thankful for what you
got, and decently intimating that you want and deserve more. I
make it my humble request that, whilst one Penal Law stands upon
record, except those that exclude you from the Senate and high
offices under the Crown, in every address you will glance at
your restraints. Were it not from an apprehension of incurring
the displeasure of the Catholic Gentlemen of Dublin, I would
have torn Gormanston's[805] address, and Portland's answer, to
pieces. The former addressed as a contented slave, and the latter
answered with the rudeness of a Batavian burgomaster who would say
"_Behave always so, or else ----!_" The liberal-minded Protestants
themselves acknowledge that enough has not been done for us. It
is what Lord Beauchamp wrote to me when I was in Dublin. I send
you Mr. Hamilton's letter on the same subject. I received it
here, in a letter from Sir Boyle, who applauds _the wisdom of the
Irish Brigade in not adopting the violent measures of several
armed societies_. There is some meaning in these words, which I
here would not have communicated but to a few of the discreet
of our own. You can keep Mr. Hamilton's letter until I pay you
my respects in Dublin. I wish I knew who he is.[806] As to the
Dungannonists,[807] they should be remembered with gratitude by
the Catholics of this kingdom. But as the Brigade is composed of
all parties without distinction but such as merit confers, whether
a letter which would give them the appearance of a Roman Catholic
armed society would be expedient, however merited, you are the
more competent judge. Whether the sycophants of Government, averse
to the Northerns, would not represent Peter leaguing with John
against Martin, who once confined them to a boxing-match over
a tub, but sees them now shake hands over the table when they
can appear with their swords and bucklers in the hall. However,
should you deem the measure eligible, considering time, place,
circumstances, the sympathies of some, the antipathies of others,
the clashing of interests, the factions of parties, the jealousy of
Government wishing the metamorphosis of your shining blades into
shepherd's crooks,--there is not one living who would sooner comply
with my friend's request than I would. But from conviction, free
from flattery, I affirm that he is better qualified for a similar
letter. I heard of him before I knew him; known, I conversed with
him. I guessed what he could do. I read the sentimental and correct
Las Casas. I was convinced that I had not guessed in vain. From
this motive I cannot be prevailed on, besides the time, which has
grown so scanty on my hands since my arrival here that I cannot
spare one hour; exhorting every Sunday, and attending to several
avocations, which, though of some benefit to others, often make me
regret that I ever quitted my solitude and books. I suggested once
to Mr. Weldon to propose Dr. Dunn--a Dissenting minister--to the
Brigade for a third chaplain. If he be proposed and elected about
the beginning of March, or any time after, I shall write him a
letter, in which I shall pay those of his profession the compliment
they deserve without giving offence to others. Ever &c.
'ARTHUR O'LEARY.
'My best regards to Mrs. Kirwan, Messieurs Braughill, Ryan, Gavan,
without forgetting our worthy Brigadier Sutton.'[808]
The biographer of Grattan cannot be regarded as an authority when
speaking of O'Leary. A letter headed 'Dr. O'Leary to Mr. Grattan,'
appears in Grattan's 'Life,' vol. v. pp. 263-4. It is dated May 25,
1805; begins, 'My dear Grattan;' speaks of his (O'Leary's) little
grandson, and ends, 'Believe me, with truth and affection, your sincere
friend and faithful confessor, Father O'Leary.' 'I congratulate you,
myself and my country on the honour your speech on the Catholic
question has conferred on us,' he writes, and thanks Grattan in
extravagant terms for having introduced his name with laudation.
Grattan's speech--delivered on May 13, 1805--occupies from page 914
to 940 of 'Hansard,' and O'Leary is not once named in it. Grattan's
biographer inserts with all the prominence and respect due to a genuine
document this transparent hoax. He adds a foot-note to say that
Grattan's speech in May, 1805, praised O'Leary. The biographer ought to
have known that O'Leary had been three years dead in 1805, and that it
is not usual for friars to rejoice in grandsons.
OLD ST. PANCRAS.
Father Arthur O'Leary died in London on January 8, 1802. The remains
lay in state; a grand dirge was sung; an imposing funeral cortège
followed them to Old St. Pancras, where a fine monument to his memory,
inscribed with words of praise, soon marked the spot. Tradition states
that Old St. Pancras was the last church in London where Mass was said
after the Reformation: hence the wish felt by Catholics in penal days
to sleep within its precincts. A visit to this historic graveyard in
its present desecrated state awakens emotion. No ground, however, is
sacred to the engineer. Old St. Pancras is now traversed by two lines
of railway--more regard being paid to the 'sleepers' above than to the
sleepers below. Passing trains ever and anon cause this resting-place
of the dead to tremble violently as if by earthquake. Indeed a seismic
shock, had it passed through the churchyard, could hardly have produced
more wreck. Here many an old tombstone inscribed '_Requiescat in
pace_'--others displaying grand heraldic sculpture--even a bishop's
mitre and a shattered coronet--proclaim the irony of fate. The
scorched and begrimed soil, once green and rural, but now split into
a hundred fissures--almost tends to remind one of a great Scriptural
picture, where shrouded dead are seen rising in protest from the
riven earth. Tablets and tombs sufficient to represent the life of
a city are rudely removed and ranged far from the graves they ought
to mark. 'Old Mortality' will find them piled--close as cards in a
pack--beneath a dark archway, over which locomotives rush, their shrill
scream suggesting a cruel travesty of the last trumpet. A few massive
mausoleums are certainly spared, and amongst them that to the memory of
O'Leary. Another part of the disused cemetery creates quite a contrast
to the scene of desolation just described. Parterres smiling with
flowers may be seen; also winding walks, and an occasional shaded seat,
where whispering love repeats a story older even than Old St. Pancras.
_PRIESTS AS SECRET AGENTS_
Dr. Hussey was not the last Catholic priest sent by the Court of
England on a private mission to the Continent. The subsequent Duke of
Wellington, writing from London to Dublin Castle on March 18, 1808,
says:--
'It would be very desirable to have a person to send over to Holland
and France just at the present moment, and I know nobody that would
answer our purpose so well as ----, the Scotch priest. I wish,
therefore, that you would desire him to come over to me.'
On the following day he writes:--
'As I intend to send ---- to Paris, it might not be inconvenient to
know the person through whom the disaffected communicate with the
French Government in order that ---- might watch him.'[809]
The chief blank may be filled with the name of the Rev. James
Robertson. The nephew of this man, Mr. A. B. Fraser, found among his
papers, 'A Narrative of a Secret Mission to the Danish Island in 1808.'
The priest had been sent by Wellington to the Spanish general Romana,
and the result was the transmission of the Spanish army from the
service of France, by the British fleet, from North Germany to Spain.
Spain was the theatre of a still more important case of secret service
rendered by a Catholic priest. In 1860 I wrote to Field-Marshal Lord
Combermere as the only man then living likely to know of the relations
which subsisted, during the Peninsular War, between Wellington and Dr.
Curtis, Rector of the Irish College of Salamanca. The following is a
portion of his reply:--
'Dr. Curtis had been fifty years head of the College when he left
Spain to become Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland.
'He had communicated very valuable information to the Duke of
Wellington while Soult held his headquarters at Salamanca.
'His connection with the Duke was suspected before the first entry
of the British into Salamanca, and two days previous to this event,
while dining with Soult, Dr. C. heard the General remark how
strange it was that Lord Wellington seemed so well acquainted with
his proceedings.
'Some of the aides-de-camp looked at Dr. Curtis pointedly on this
occasion, and the next day, while at table with the same party,
similar observations were made, and Dr. Curtis perceived that the
suspicions of Soult had been in some manner confirmed.
'On his return home that night, he found two gendarmes awaiting
him, and he was at once conveyed to prison.
'He assured Lord Combermere that had not the English arrived the
next day, he would have been executed as a spy.'
It may be added that the mysterious reference in Wellington's despatch
of May 8, 1811,[810] is to Dr. Curtis.
The appointment of this priest by the Pope as 'Archbishop of Armagh,
and Primate of All Ireland' was directly due to influence exerted with
Cardinal Gonsalvi by British statesmen, including Lord Castlereagh,
Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Duke of Wellington maintained for
many years a constant and cordial correspondence with the Primate,
and the Duke's change of policy on the Catholic Question was not
uninfluenced by it. The papers of this eminent prelate, varied and
voluminous in their character, have been long in the custody of
the present writer, and at a future day may be dealt with as their
importance demands.

red-hot patriotism.

[720] James Hope in his narrative speaks of Colonel Plunket as at first
a flaming rebel, who had been assigned to the command of Roscommon;
but Lord Carleton, in a manuscript note to _Irish Pamphlets_, vol. 129
(Nat. Lib. of Ireland), says that on the eve of action he surrendered
to Dr. Law, Bishop of Elphin. Plunket was tried by court-martial and
hanged.

[723] Every man desiring to become a barrister is obliged to lodge a
memorial describing himself and his parentage. Anxious to ascertain
whether the description of Lord Downshire's friend would apply to
Turner, as the son of a gentleman of property in Ulster, I applied at
the King's Inns, Dublin, to be allowed to see how Turner described
himself--but was refused, although the object was explained to be one
purely historical. This greatly retarded my inquiries, which were
begun many years ago. At last an examination of the wills and the
entrance-book of Trinity College, Dublin, established all that I had
surmised, and the following letter, which I find in the Pelham MSS.,
is further important in this connection:--'The arms belonging to Mr.
Turner, senior, a magistrate near Newry, were taken from him at the
time of the general search for arms in that county. I believe that his
conduct has been misconceived owing to the conduct of his son, and, if
you see no particular objection to it, I should be glad that his arms
should be restored to him' (Pelham to General Lake, Phœnix Park, August
3, 1797).

Rebellion.

[728] The betrayer, in his letter to Lord Downshire, states that Lowry

account of Hoche's death.
[729] Mr. Cashel Hoey, grandson of Conlan's victim, an important
Government official in London, decorated by the Crown, died Jan. 6,
1892. Antony Marmion, author of _The Maritime Ports of Ireland_, was

Turner, M.A. of Oxford in 1605, whose parliamentary career and daring
spirit are noticed in L'Estrange's _History of the Reign of Charles I._
[735] A wild district near Gweedore, on the coast of Donegal, embracing
the contiguous island of Rutland.
[736] The facsimile of this proclamation, as furnished by Mr.
Allingham, is headed 'Liberty or Death!' and displays a drawing of
the Irish harp and the cap of liberty; but as the text appears in the
_Castlereagh Papers_ (i. 407), a sample must suffice here:--'Horrid
crimes have been perpetrated in your country, your friends have fallen
a sacrifice to their devotion to your cause, their shadows are around
you and call aloud for vengeance, etc.'
[737] These and other statements appear in a letter signed 'O.' which
will be dealt with presently.
[738] From 1795 the Duke enjoyed the titles of Field-Marshal,
Commander-in-Chief, and Bishop of Osnaburg.
[739] The Corporation at that time was notoriously Orange.

afterwards found entertaining at dinner H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex and
Major Sirr.
[741] Letter dated 'Salmon Pool Lodge, Dublin, September 21, 1846.'
(O'Connell MSS. Derrinane Abbey.) If it were not for the letter of Sir
A. Wellesley, which fixes the date, I would be disposed to place this
incident earlier.
[742] Madden's _United Irishmen_, ii. 391.
[743] There is an account in Musgrave of the arrival of the 'Anacréon'
with notices of some of the men on board, but it throws no light on
'O.' He was lost in the crowd of French officers and adherents.
[744] _Castlereagh Correspondence_, i. 405.
[745] O'Herne, otherwise Aherne (see _Castlereagh_, i. 308). He is
often mentioned in _Tone's Journal_.
[746] O'Finn (see _Castlereagh_, ii. 5). O'Finn figures in the Fugitive
Bill. See p. 96, _ante_.
[747] Ormby, an Irish rebel in France (_Castlereagh_, i. 307).

[751] O'Connor (_Castlereagh_, i. 374).
[752] O'Keon, who went with the French to Killala. See _Byrne's
Memoirs_, iii. 164. (Paris, 1863.)
[753] At Paris 'O' had three interviews with General Lawless in
reference to the invasion, which is detailed in his clever letter (see
_Castlereagh_, i. 397). He is able to tell Lawless the number of men
the French Directory were prepared to sacrifice in the attempt. The
added statement that 'Orr did not seem to like going' is consistent
with his sneering tone at all that passed on board the 'Anacréon.'
Were Orr discovered to have been a spy, he would have swung from the
yard-arm.
[754] MSS. Record Tower, Dublin. A narrative of the progress of Tandy's
expedition, dated October 21, 1799, and preserved in the same archives,
is endorsed 'G. O.'
[755] Turner (see p. 5, _ante_) announces Orr as at Paris with Tandy,
Teeling, Lewins, and other arch-rebels.
[756] See p. 56, _ante_, and _Castlereagh Papers_, i. 405.
[757] The most trivial incidents are chronicled, including Tandy's
fondness for gazing on a few laced coats that he had in his
wardrobe. Tone himself was not proof against this vanity: 'Put on my
regimentals--as pleased as a little boy in his first breeches' (ii.
176). 'O' announces that 'Turner refused to accompany any of the
expeditions to Ireland, and went from Paris to the Hague' (i. 409).
Turner had been in dread of assassination as the penalty of betrayal,
and could not be persuaded to revisit Ireland while the troubles and
their excitement continued.

[761] But Flint seems to have had more to do in this _rôle_ than
paternally to extend the ægis. Lord Cloncurry, describing his own
arrest in 1798, writes (_Memoirs_, p. 68) that his Swiss valet was
seized under the Alien Act, sent out of the country, and never heard of
more.
[762] _United Irishmen_, iv. 232-5. Sir Jonah, in his _Personal
Sketches_ (pp. 163-6), tells this himself, but without the elaborate
colouring of Madden.
[763] Probably Foster. Some of the papers in the same volume are
addressed to the Right Hon. the Speaker, Collon (Pelham MSS. fol. 205).
Thomas Pelham, Earl of Chichester, whose name has been often mentioned
in this book, died July 4, 1826. A pleasing sketch of Pelham appears in
_Barrington's Memoirs_, i. 180.
[764] Francis Magan (see p. 134, _ante_).
[765] It would be unlike Jones if his letters to Lady Moira did not
deal with warmer topics than 'antiquities.' Tone's _Life_ contains a
letter from Lady Moira to Jones, in which she says: 'As to making a
democrat of me, that, you must be persuaded, is a fruitless hope.'
[766] It has never been my habit to print only such parts of letters as
are convenient to my purpose. Lady Moira would be the last to suspect
her neighbour Magan; and she naturally thought at once of Musgrave, who
had so recently accepted Jones's challenge. But Lady Moira was wrong in
thinking that, when their affair of honour ended, Musgrave owed spite
to Jones. He afforded good proof to the contrary in omitting from later
editions of his book the passages which had offended Jones. The duel
took place at Rathgar, Musgrave was slightly wounded, and Ned Lysaght
said that his next edition would probably be 'in boards.' Jones, in a
private letter, written long after, speaks of his antagonist as 'Dick
Musgrave,' and exonerates him from the suspicion of having spitefully
caused his arrest. A notice of the duel appears in the _Annual
Register_ for 1802, p. 410. T. O. Mara attended Jones as second.
[767] Under-Secretary at Dublin Castle.
[768] The Lady Elizabeth Craven, whom Mr. John Edward Maddox married,
died in 1799.
[769] McCan, the agent of Grattan, was examined by the Privy Council;
when the Attorney-General, O'Grady, is stated to have offered
McCan office, and a payment of 10,000_l._ if he would criminate
Grattan.--_Life of Grattan_, by his Son, v. 228. McCan, on behalf
of Grattan, had remitted money to Dowdall, but only from motives of
humanity. Dowdall was concerned in Robert Emmet's plot. Mathias O'Kelly
told me that he met Dowdall, Magan, and Todd Jones dining at the table
of James Dixon, the active rebel already noticed.
[770] The Countess of Granard. The Dowager Lady Moira, from whom her
son inherited the baronies of Hungerford and Hastings, died on April
12, 1808.

[778] Philip Crampton, afterwards the famous Surgeon-General and
medical baronet, took part in the action at Castlebar, as assistant

having been the first man to reach Tuam.

[784] Camden to Elliot, Dublin Castle, June 15, 1798. (Pelham MSS.) The
only weak suggestion in the remaining part of Camden's letter--needless
to transcribe--is that the scene in Ireland was sufficiently extensive
for the Duke of York 'to assume the command-in-chief,' for York's
failures in the field constitute unpleasant incidents in history.
[785] The Pelham MSS., London.
[786] _A Journal of the Movements of the French Fleet in Bantry Bay_
(Cork, 1797). Hugh Lord Carleton's copy, with manuscript notes. It was
this peer who tried and sentenced the Sheareses to death. When the
Legislative Union became law in 1800, Lord Carleton retired from the
bench and continued to reside in London until his death on Feb. 25,
1826. Though twice married he left no issue, and his peerage, like that
of Bantry, is extinct.
[787] From the first days of October to the end of December, 1605.
[788] William Sinclair, of Belfast, one of the founders of the
Dungannon Convention, married John Pollock's sister. He afterwards took
part in the battle of Antrim where Lord O'Neil fell. He survived until
the year 1864, and had reached the age of ninety-eight.

Wellington_, edited by his Son, p. 535.
[793] The author of _Irish Humourists_ describes Cox as one of the most
peculiar individuals to be met with in Irish history, and expresses
hope that some day the documents relating to him possessed by the late
Dr. Madden, and other manuscripts that must be somewhere in existence,
will be published, and a full biography given to the world of so
striking a personality.

620-24' should be consulted.

the man who administered the oath to the soldier was not William Orr
but William McKeever, a delegate from Derry, who afterwards escaped to
America.

[799] This was the Wheatley known to Captain Hester.
[800] This narrow street--as well as the adjoining passage known as
'Hell'--was cleared away soon after, in order to form Christchurch
Place in front of the cathedral.
[801] Letter of the Right Hon. Thomas Pelham, Phœnix Park, Nov. 1,
1797, to the Home Office. (Pelham MSS.)
[802] Garret, Earl of Mornington, married the daughter of Lord
Dungannon, was father of the Duke of Wellington, and died May 22, 1784.
[803] The late John Cornelius O'Callaghan, the highest authority on the
Jacobite and Williamite wars, assured me that this speech, attributed
to James, was never uttered.
[804] O'Leary was honorary chaplain to the Irish Brigade Volunteers.
[805] A Catholic Peer.
[806] No doubt 'Counsellor Hamilton,' a democratic barrister of Ulster,
uncle of Thomas Russell, who was executed in 1803 as the colleague of
Emmet.
[807] The volunteer meeting at Dungannon in February, 1782, resolved
that 'the claim of any body of men other than the King, Lords,
and Commons of Ireland, to make laws to bind this kingdom, is
unconstitutional, illegal, and a grievance.'
[808] Who these men were, see p. 231 _ante_. Gavan may have been an
error of the copyist for Thomas Glanan, one of the Catholic delegates
of the city of Dublin in 1793.

THE LIFE, TIMES, AND CORRESPONDENCE
OF BISHOP DOYLE (J.K.L).
BY W. J. FITZPATRICK, F.S.A.
KNIGHT OF ST. GREGORY THE GREAT.
* * * * *
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
'Mr. Fitzpatrick's memoir is richly studded with anecdotes and sketches
of his attractive hero as politician, scholar, theologian, professor,
bishop, religious director, and friend. The biographer has a keen eye
to humour, and has thrown in a number of specimens of Irish wit. He is
exclusively the master and the specialist of his subject.'--SATURDAY
REVIEW.
* * * * *
'Of this distinguished man, Mr. Fitzpatrick has lately published the
"Life, Times, and Correspondence," after having accumulated ample
materials for his undertaking by unwearied personal investigation and
epistolary inquiries extending through several years. It is in every
respect an original work, tracing the intellectual progress, examining
the motives and policy, and illustrating the character and habits,
of by far the ablest Roman Catholic prelate of recent times. [Three
columns of eulogy followed.] Men of all parties united in conceding
to him the praise of a high order of genius and of unsullied virtue.
Indeed, under whatever point of view the career of this eminent man is
viewed, the conclusion which the perusal of these volumes will force,
even upon those least disposed to appreciate his high qualities, must
be that he was a master-spirit, an honour to the country which gave
him birth, and an ornament to the Christianity which he so earnestly
preached and so devoutly practised.'--MORNING POST.
* * * * *
'Mr. Fitzpatrick, whose previous biographical works have been
favourably received, has published a "Life of Dr. Doyle" full of
amusing and instructive matter.... In closing this volume, we cannot
but express our regret that so good a man and so sincere a patriot
should not have survived to our own happier times.... A lively,
gossiping, and sensible biography.'--SPECTATOR.
* * * * *
'Those who take an interest in tracing the history of past
agitations will find ample amusement in the "Life and Times of Dr.
Doyle."'--WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
* * * * *
'... These volumes really contain the history of Ireland for a quarter
of a century. In these days of hasty compilation and superficial
literary labour, it is refreshing to meet a work so original, so full
of research, so honestly and ably written as this "Life of Dr. Doyle."
Mr. Fitzpatrick has performed a task which secures for him a very high
place among Irishmen who have enriched the historical literature of
their country.'--DAILY EXPRESS (Dublin).
* * * * *
'Our words may sound extravagant. We can only repeat the motto in
Doyle's coat of arms--"_Tolle lege_." Take up the book which narrates
his life, times, and correspondence, and read. We appeal to the
monuments of history, so beautifully, so accurately, so eloquently
displayed before us by the great historian of one of the greatest men.
The book before us is a monument of Mr. Fitzpatrick's skill, of his
knowledge of men and events, of his great power of discernment, of his
faithfulness, of his impartiality, of his herculean labour, of his
exalted Christianity.'--BOSTON PILOT.

IRELAND BEFORE THE UNION.
By W. J. FITZPATRICK, F.S.A.
* * * * *
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
'Mr. W. J. Fitzpatrick has brought out a new and much-amended edition
of his capital contribution to our knowledge of "Ireland before the
Union."'--ATHENÆUM.
* * * * *
'But we must refer the historical student, who would know something
more than the historian has yet deigned to tell us, to this remarkable
production of patriotic industry. Wonderfully clear, and vivid, and
varied is the portraiture interspersed in the illustration of the
man and his times, and very often illumined by bright flashes of
wit and humour. Mr. Fitzpatrick has been called the Irish Boswell,
but he includes all the best qualities of his best editors added
to Boswell. This volume ought to have a place in every historical
library.'--MORNING POST.
* * * * *
'Most complete and entertaining. As anecdote follows anecdote, and
revelation after revelation is unfolded, we are lost in wonder that
the perpetrators of such outrages and acts of oppression as Mr.
Fitzpatrick describes, gathered from the most authentic sources, could
have been suffered to follow out their evil courses for even a single
week.'--FIELD.
* * * * *
'A true picture of Irish society towards the close of the last century,
and shows to what sort of people the highest places of the State were
in that country entrusted. The author is Mr. Fitzpatrick, who has
hunted up his facts in many quarters, and woven them into an exciting
narrative.'--DAILY TELEGRAPH.
* * * * *
'A clever work, filled with amusing anecdotes and interesting
disclosures. No doubt it will have a large sale, not only in Ireland,
but in the United States.'--COSMOPOLITAN.
