_The Commons of Ireland previous to the Union in 1801_ (Vol. ix.,
p.35.).--Allow me to inform C. H. D. that I have in my possession a copy
(with MS. notes) of _Sketches of Irish Political Characters of the present
Day, showing the Parts they respectively take on the Question of the Union,
what Places they hold, their Characters as Speakers, &c._, 8vo. pp. 312,
London, 1799. Is this the book he wants? I know nothing of its author nor
of the Rev. Dr. Scott.
