The author of these poems is an American of Irish descent who lived eight years in Ireland as a student and who believes that the National university of Ireland will be the salvation of the country. With his love for the land of his fathers and sympathy for the “Newer Ireland spirit” he combines great faith in Ireland’s men of learning. The book falls into two parts: At the dawning; and Echoes of Erin.
