BOOKS BY STEPHEN GWYNN.
THE FAIR HILLS OF IRELAND.
Written by STEPHEN GWYNN, and illustrated by HUGH THOMSON. 31 Drawings in black and white and Four Coloured Illustrations. Cr. 8vo. 6s.
This book is the record of a pilgrimage to historic and beautiful places in Ireland, so arranged as to give an idea not only of their physical aspect to-day, but also of the history for which they stand. Places have been chosen whose greatest fame was in the days before foreign rule, though often, as at the Boyne, they are associated with the later story of Ireland. In each chapter the whole range of associations is handled, so that each reviews in some measure the whole history of Irish civilisation as it concerned one particular place. But in a fuller sense the chapters are arranged so as to suggest a continuous idea of Irish life, from the prehistoric period illustrated by cyclopean monuments, down to the full development of purely Irish civilisation which is typified by the buildings at Cashel. Seats of ancient sovereignty like Tara, or of ancient art and learning like Clonmacnoise, are described so as to show what the observer can find to see there to-day, and what the student can learn from native Irish Poetry and annals regarding them.
FISHING HOLIDAYS.
By STEPHEN GWYNN. Cr. 8vo. 3s. 6d.
"Very pleasant volume.... The general reader of angling books will find much to interest him; and those thinking of visiting the Donegal district will certainly find many useful hints and alluring accounts of sport."—Fishing Gazette.
THE MEMOIRS OF MILES BYRNE.
A new edition with an introduction by STEPHEN GWYNN, M.P. Two vols. Demy 8vo. Cloth. 15s.
"His Memoirs are of incomparable value. Nowhere else can be found such graphic and complete accounts of the action so renowned in Irish Story. The descriptions convince by their reticence and restraint, and by a certain spontaneity in the narrative, which shows Byrne to have been a literary artist of no mean calibre.... We cordially commend these two volumes to the study of young Irishmen.... The production reflects great credit on the publishers."—Freeman's Journal.
"Everyone with a spice of adventure in his composition—and who would care to confess that he has not?—will welcome this handsome reprint."—Irish Times.
"The first volume of these Memoirs is as exciting as any tale of imaginary adventure, with the real horrors of a brutal civil war for background. Byrne is no half-hearted partisan; he hates well, but is not unjust, admitting alike the errors committed by his comrades and the decencies of his foes."—The Academy.
"His account of those terrible days in Ireland is a fascinating if often gruesome study, and may be recommended as a vivid, if not perhaps calmly impartial, portrayal by an eye-witness of a memorable struggle."—Glasgow Evening News.

"There can be no doubt that this story will have a great success, for it is intensely alive and holds the interest from start to finish ... The story is very exciting; the author has a wonderful power of keeping his grip on it and describing the incidents with relentless force."—Daily Telegraph.
"Its characters are finely drawn and its interest compelling."—Morning Leader.
"The book is extremely well done all round, and will be read as much for its engrossing story as for the admirable picture it gives of those stirring times which closed the eighteenth century."—Pall Mall Gazette.
