_Irish Peerages_ (Vol. vi., p. 604.).--The book alluded to by D. X. as

professing to give pedigrees of ennobled Irish families, may be the

contemptible _Letters to George IV._, by Captain Rock, a miserable attempt

at a continuation of Moore's _Memoirs_ of that mystic personage. Some half

of the former book contains libellous notices of the "low origin" of the

Irish nobility. Can your correspondent refer me to the play in which there

is some sneer that "the housemaid is cousin to an Irish peer?"
