SKETCHES OP THE IRISH BAR ; WITH °THE,' LITERARY
AND POLITICAL ESSAYS. BY WILLIAM HENRY CURRAN,
ESQ. 2 VOLS.—Mr. Curran's Sketches have many claims
On our attention. The author's name awakeni expecta-
tions of brilliancy and lively thought, and the contents
of the work show that the first of the family did not
carry with him all his intellectual wealth to the giave,
We acceot these sparkling essays as characteristic of the
time and country in which they were written. The
" Conversations with Chief Justice Bushe"—a charming
collection of curious anecdote—are vivid and full of inte-
rest, and are now printed for the first time. Mr. Cur-
ran's .own recollections of celebrated persons are just as
striking as those of Chief Justice Basile. The two
volumes have genuine talent, and exhibit many of the
hest traits of Irish intelleot—A thenceuni.
