“Mr Hamilton’s story moves swiftly and keeps the reader intent on the disentangling of the threads. Two characters stand out clearly—the self-made inventor and the worldly-wise, kindly woman who dominates her little circle.” H. Dick

HAMILTON, ERNEST WILLIAM, lord. Elizabethan Ulster. *$6 Dutton 941.5
(Eng ed 20–655)
“‘Elizabethan Ulster’ is an account of the stormy days of that Irish province during the reign of Elizabeth of England. Ulster then was in continuous strife with one or another—and occasionally practically all—of the great Irish chieftains, who resisted the English attempt to overrun and colonize their lands. The greater part of the book is given over to the rebellion of the three Hughs—O’Neil, O’Donnell and Macguire—in which most of the chiefs participated. The movement is traced in detail from its earliest stages until after the battle of Kinsale. The closing chapters deal with a few later and weaker revolts and the flight of the Ulster Earls, Tyrone and Tyrconnell, to the continent in the reign of King James.”—Springf’d Republican
