By GEORGE A. BIRMINGHAM. Its title suggests unbridled jocularity--and it
is in fact full of inimitable fun; but there is a basis of solid thought
and sympathy to all the mirth. While replenishing the common stock of
Irish stories, Mr. Birmingham adjusts our conception of the race. Mr.
Kerr's sixteen illustrations in colour form a gallery of genre studies,
sympathetic and yet sincere, that allows us to look with our own eyes
upon Ireland as she really is to-day. 288 pp. Buckram, 5/- net. Velvet
