Dickinson, Emily Monroe. Patriot’s mistake; being personal recollections of the Parnell family, by a daughter of the house. *$3. Lane.
“The history of the great patriot Charles Parnell is too well known to need any comment here; but many others of the family, though not always through fault or sin of their own, met with misfortune and premature death. The entire story is peculiarly sad, but the fearful ‘mistake’ of Charles, with the shame and disgrace that followed hard upon it, overshadows all the other painful chapters in the record.”—Critic.
“Extraordinary indiscretion.”
