Chart, D. A. Story of Dublin; il. by Henry J. Howard. (Mediaeval towns ser.) $2. Macmillan.
7–25495.
This is a story of Dublin from the year 150 A.D., in which the author does his surest work when he reaches mediaeval Dublin with its wealth of reliable material. He writes of the city, its topography, its buildings, of the variety and picturesqueness of the outlying country, of people and incidents; and lends to the whole a historical background. The illustrations are principally from pen-and-ink sketches and give value to the work.
“It is unfortunate that in his desire to write a popular tourists’ book Mr. Chart should have spoilt the history which, so far as it goes, has evidence of a real interest, research, and, we venture to say, promise of better work.”
