[*] “We are sorry that we cannot say that it is even a good book of reference, for Mr. McCarthy is not methodical enough, nor detailed enough, nor accurate enough to make himself an authority on facts. The English is slovenly.”

McCarthy, Justin. Irishman’s story, [**]$2.50. Macmillan.
An autobiography giving the author’s experiences in newspaper work, his visits to America, and his parliamentary career (1879-1902), covering the Parnell period with its sudden close and the breaking up of the Nationalist party.
“Historical students who may turn to either of these volumes will be compelled continuously to keep in mind the nationality and political environment of the writers; for with both Davitt and McCarthy every Irishman on the popular side is a patriot, an orator, or a statesman.”

“A record sufficiently varied and full of incident to have a sure claim on public interest. It would rank with such a narrative as Mr. Riis’s rather than with literary autobiographies, or with intellectual documents like Spencer’s account.” H. W. Boynton.
