Its principal defect is what we may call lack of emphasis upon the most essential points... For the nineteenth century and the present situation...the work is so much more elaborated...that we may consider the earlier chapters as almost an introduction to them." Nation, 1883.

"The interest of this book to Irish readers will consist mainly in the
fact that the author is a judge whose duty is to administer impartially
the laws which he so roundly condemns as unjust... More than half
the book is taken up with the... Irish land laws, including illustrations
in detail of their iniquitous effects upon the landlord class." Nation,

"This work... was compiled at the Franciscan convent of Donegal, from
which circumstance it was known and cited as the Annales Dungal-
lenses. The chief author, Teige O'Clery... was aided by his brother
and cousin, Cucogry...and Conaire O'Clery, laymen, and by a fourth
person named O'Mulconry. For this reason, and in compliment to
their antiquarian diligence... Father Colgan invented for it the title
Annales quatuor Magistrorum, which has finally prevailed... Their
book does not seem to merit praise for the superior accuracy of its
dates, in times or circumstances obscure enough to render the chron-
ology doubtful... nor does its editor consider the spirit of it thor-
oughly impartial... But the peculiar value of the Annals of Donegal
...consists in their embracing in one series all the ages of Hibernian

story, from its remotest fables to the achievement of the Elizabethan
conquest." Quarterly review, 1853.

poems, and lives of saints are all described. The appendix contains
more than 150 extracts from manuscripts, with translations, all made

tain a better knowledge of Irish mediæval literature than he can by
the perusal of any other single work." Dictionary of national biog-

"Brief but clever lectures... [Mr Richey] does away with much of old
Irish romance, and gives in its place, if not reality, something ap-
proaching towards it. [He] has excess of admiration, or of apology,
for the Celt; but in his expression of it the heroic seems to take the
semblance of the imbecile. The helplessness of the Celt leaves him
without the pale of heroism... Story is rapidly and effectively told."
Athenæum, 1869.

"The special feature of [Mr Smith's] essay is the attempt to treat the subject in a large spirit of justice... He aims at showing that it is not necessary to assume against the Irish people an inherent viciousness or unfitness for association with a civilized Empire and with Christian fellow-citizens; nor against the English people a selfish and insidious policy of degradation and ruin, in order to account for the failures and shame of Irish history... This moral is embodied and enforced by a survey, brief but vigorous and instructive, of the leading events and characters of Irish history." Saturday review, 1861. SULLIVAN, Alexander Martin.

"A very interesting and, to a certain extent, a very instructive book. It
is written always with vigour and liveliness, and generally with im-
partiality and good sense. But it is very defective in method... After
reading Mr. Sullivan's book we are led to the conclusion that the
Home Rule movement is not so much a movement for any thing in
particular as a consolation and vent to Irish feeling." Saturday re-
view, 1877.

"Prof. O'Curry... understood the Gaedhelic, or ancient language of Ireland, as well as, if not better than, any man of this century; but of general history, philology, or antiquities, he appears to have possessed no knowledge, save what he picked up from the Irish MSS. themselves. Hence, statements of singular naïveté occurring not unfrequently in these Lectures tend to cast an air of ridicule over facts and documents which are of real historical value." Athenæum, 1874.

"No one... has more subjectivity in his own way [than Thackeray]; and that way is pleasant-coarse now and again, but honest and kindly on the whole; above all free from hypocrisy... Though honest, [he] is far from an unprejudiced man. A close observer, and often a shrewd reasoner, he is still somewhat decided in his party views; and he does not possess that enlarged and grasping philosophy which is necessary to the perfect understanding of the 'case of Ireland:' we think, therefore, he has done wisely in abstaining from any general summary of the results of this inquiry."
