Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 6 Irish humor is mainly a store of merriment pure and simple, without much personal taint, and it does not pro fess to be philosophical. Human follies or deformities are rarely touched upon, and luckily Irish humorous writers do not attempt the didactic. In political warfare, how ever, the bitterest taunts are heard, and it is somewhat regrettable that Irish politics Should have absorbed so great a part of Irish wit, and turned what might have been pleasant reading into a succession of biting sarcasms. The Irish political satirists of the eighteenth and nine teenth centuries have often put themselves out of court by the ephemeral nature of their gibes no less than by the ex tra-ferocious tone they adopted. There is no denying the verve and point in the writings of Watty Cox, Dr. Brenan, J. W. Croker, and so on, but who can read them to-day with pleasure? Eaton Stannard Barrett's 'all the Talents, ' after giving a nickname to a ministry, destroyed it; it served its purpose, and would be out of place if resurrected and placed in a popular collection, where the student of political history - to whom alone it is interesting and amusing - will hardly meet with it. His The Heroine, ' however, which deals with an evil as familiar in our day as when he wrote, may well be quoted as an example of his style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 4 To fawn, to crouch, to wait, to ride, to run, To spend, to give, to want, to be undone. In Ireland he saw a different state of things. The poets might almost be described as the patrons, for theirs it was to distribute praise or dispraise in poems, the which, says Spenser, are held in so high regard and estimation amongst them that none dare displease them, for feare to runne into reproach through their Offense, and be made infamous in the mouths of all men. Their compositions were sung at all feasts and meetings by other persons, and these also, to his surprise, receive great rewards and reputation. Certain it is, though strange, that Edmund Spenser, had he been the least hard in the pettiest principality of Ireland, instead of being the first poet of the monarch of Great Britain, would not have died of hunger. Neglected and starving in Westminster, may he not have regretted his political efforts to destroy the one national organism which above all others had ever generously encouraged the representatives of liter ature?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Monthly, 1878, Vol. 6: A Magazine of General Literature On a low chair, in front of this fire, her figure at times appearing only as a dark shadow, then defined with vivid distinctmess as some bright tongue of flame darted suddenly into being, sat a lady with a pale, rather sad face, and beautifully formed head, round which the dark hair wound in the simplest and most artistic fashion. Her dress, of some soft, dark material, old and shabby, fell in graceful folds around her, as she leaned wearily back in her chair, her loosely dasped hands resting on her knees, her eyes, sometimes fixed upon the coals, sometimes turned anxiously towards a heavy sofa, wheeled into the corner between the window and the fire, on which, amid a heap of shawls and cushions, lay a little girl of about ten years of age. That the child was just recovering from a severe illness was evident from her closely-empped hair, and her extreme paleness, which made the dark eyes seem by contrast unnaturally large and brilliant.
