"We cordially recommend these sketches as interesting in matter and brilliant in composition. Their literary merit is very great."

MESSENGER.

"These volumes will delight the student and charm the general reader."

DUBLIN EVENING MAIL.

"These volumes contain more matter of high and enduring interest to all classes of readers than any publication of equal extent, professing to illustrate the social and literary position or treat of the domestic manners and history of our country."

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

"Of the great power and brilliancy of these papers there can be no second opinion. In the British senate, as in his own native land, the name of Richard Lalor Sheil will be long remembered in connexion with eloquence and learning and with genius. In these volumes he has left a memorial of all the gems of his rich and varied intellect—every phase and line of his versatile and prolific mind."
