A little book-little we m...
A little boolk-lltte we meani in bulk alone-has just 2e published. The subject of it is Ireland: but to those Who turn with indifftrence from sucfi a theme, we shall just add, that if they have patience they will find about the work some redeeming properties ; for the author of it, is MA. THOuMAS Moora. The title which he has selected is " Memoirs of Cqapfain Rock," who gives in the first per- | son, a history of himself and his fanmily, typifving under both the principle of Irish disafrection towards the ruling Power, at all periods of the joint history of Great Britainl and Ireland, from the reign of HEmRy II. down. This historcal and political sketch combines a great diversity, of beaulies. I:s facts are recognizeul and indisputable-' its reasonings are so managed as to flash upon the mind of the reader, instead of exacting fiom him the labour of dleduction. Irony, keen and profoundly cutting-poignant saRi2s of ViYacity-imagery, aectcrate and brilliant-clear sense, and nervous languige, are the media through which the author conveys to us his own strong and deep irapression of the causes whence have procceded all the troubles of Ieland, and all the activity and importance of the " Rocks." We should do injustice to the author anA to his subject, if we did not lay hold of an early opportunity to transplant into our columns some passages from this very able and K 0 work. ____g_w_ _k
