not suffice. II the author who origi-

devoted several hundred pages to call

inspiration and decided on the Irish
people as the one to libel. his book
might have gone into hundreds of thou
sands and become an immortal work.
Doubtless the author, also. would have
reached his immortal state sooner than
he desired had some Donnybrook read

the Scotch are too apathetic; Mr. Cross
