Book Description

Excerpt from Patriotic Sketches of Ireland, Written in Connaught, Vol. 2 The Publishers Of Miss Dwenson's Patriotic Sketches would remark, that the price of the English copy of this work isour dollars. They flatter themselves, it will be a source of pleasure to local readers to learn, that the type was cast expressly for this volume at the Baltimore Foundery, owned by Samuel Sower & Co. - the paper manufactured by Conrady Lucas$ Co. - and the relative excellence of each has not often been surpassed by any publications which have been issued from the American press. Miss Owenson has been long celebrated, as an eminent proof of the vast extent of the powers of the imagination; and her ardent attachment to the Emerald Isle, elicits patriotic fire in every page of her writings, when the green fields of Erin are the subject.
