"This is a capital book, full of fun and humour, and most characteristically Irish."—New Monthly Magazine.
"Neither Miss Edgeworth, nor the author of the O'Hara Tales, could have written any thing more powerful than this."—Edinburgh Literary Gazette.
"We do not hesitate to say, that for a minute and accurate sketching of the character, manners, and language of the lower orders of the Irish, no book was ever published at all equal to this."—Spectator.

TRAITS AND STORIES OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY.
SECOND SERIES.
"Traits and Stories of Irish Peasantry.—The whole story is one of that mirth-inspiring nature, that those who read it without hearty laughter must be either miserable or very imperturbable."—Metropolitan, edited by T. Campbell.
"There is strength, vigour—and above all—truth, in every story, in every sentence, every line he writes. The statesman ought to read such books as these; they would tell him more of the true state of the country than he has ever heard from the lips of her orators, or the despatches of the 'Castle Hacks.' We wish Mr. Carlton would send forth a cheap edition, that 'Traits and Stories' of Irish peasants might be in the hands of people as well as peers."—Bulwer's New Monthly Magazine.
