publishers OF denOmlnaClOnal WORKS,
but they later issued Carleton's works,
Rev. Caesar Otway's, DR.. Austen's, etc.
They were also the original publishers
of the Dublin University Magazine,
which, though high Tory in tone. drew
round it the best Irish writer's, and was
deemed the most brilliant magazine OF
the day. Among it's contributors we
find the names of DR.. Austen, William
Elliot Hudson, DR.. Maginn. DR.. Waller,
and in it Charles Lever published his
well known tales of Harry Lorrequer,
Charles O'Malley and Jack Hinton.
They also issued the works of Lever in
numbers, with illustrations by Ph!z.
James Clarence Mangan was constant
contributor to the magazine. and in it
appeared his German Anthology. In
fact the University had on it's list every
writer of any'note in Ireland.
About 1916 the firm of McGlashen 4
Gill came into existence and succeeded
Curry & Co. as publishers of the Dub
lin University Magazine. McGlashen,
although a Scotchman, did much
for Irsih literature. His death
and the famine of 1847 and the
failure of the '48 movement ac-
counts for the decadence of the pub
fishing trade in Ireland. The Dublin
University Magazine followed the Dub
lin Review to London and dropped it's
Irish title, and is known as the Univer-
sity Magazine.
ALI Irish publishing has now abso-
lutely dwindled down to few re-
ligious books. The brilliant series OF
works on Irish history literature,
archaeology and antiquities which
awakened the attention and delighted
the minds Of
IRISH SCHOLARS AND STUDENTS
twenty-five years since has now no sue
cessor with the exception of the useful
brochures published at low price at
the Nation Office by A. M. Sullivan and
his successors.
Matthew Carey, Of Pht1adetph was
the first to issue an original work on
Ireland in America. The Vindica Hi
bernica, his own composition, though
published in the beginning Of this CEN
tury, is looked upon as an authoritative
book of reference on the cause Of Ire
land.
In 1886 Dennis Sadlier, who had been
working as bookbinder in Carmlne
street, started the publication, in num-
bers, of Buffers Lives of Saints, which
was soon followed by McGeoghan's
Ireland, a Bible, prayer books, all OF
course reprints. His first move was to
Gold street, and here, in partnership
with his brother James, he republlshed
many of the works issued by Duffy OF
Dublin. The firm removed to 164 Will
liam street, in 1s49, and took in Mr..
Crotty as partner. During the war
they removed to Barclay street, where
the firm still remains.
1t has published many valuable Cath
olic and Irish works, including many
original stories by Mrs. j. Sadlier. They
also issued the first series of distinctive
Catholic school books ever published in
this country.
Since the Sadliers moved into Bar
clay street they have been followed
thither by almost all the Catholic pub
fishers in houses for the sale of religi-
GUS articles in New York.
In 1874 Edward Denigan & Brother
opened store IN Fulton street. Deni-
gan was gifted with much good taste,
and was the first to issue Catholic books
in really creditable style. A special
example of this is his edition of Hay
docks Bible.
From 1910 to 1848 Patrick Sars6eld
Casserly had book store in Nassau
street. He published few Catholic
works, and also
RECEIVED FROM o'CoNNELL
the advance sheets of his Memoirs Of
Ireland, which Casserly issued here.
He was. a fine classical scholar, and his
bent in that direction induced him to
translate and publish Alvarez's Latin
Prosody. He also issued Casserly's IS
Greek Reader and other educational
works.
John Doyle had begun in the thirties
the publication Of Catholic books in
Pearl street; but rather irascible tenn
per cansed him to fall into disfavor
with the clergy, ard he sold nearl, all
his plates to the Sadliers.
James Kennedy, first in Baltimore
and afterward in New York, published
some Catholic works. His son, r. j :.
Kennedy, is still in business. Robert
Coddington also issued some Catholic
works.
In 1854 Patrick O'shea, who had
been engaged with Ed. Denigan &
