OR, MUNSTER POPULAR TALES. "Now let it rain potatoes!" Merry Wives of Windsor. LONDON: PRINTED FOR W. SIMPKIN AND R. MARSHALL, STATIONERS' HALL COURT, LUDGATE-STREET. THE following TALES are the result of some notes made during a residence of several years in a part of Ireland but little visited by writers, whose acknowledged abilities might enable them to turn the abundant material, which it everywhere presents, to better advantage. Whatever be the opinion formed of his book, the writer will feel little disappointment, provided it has the effect of leading abler hands to the accomplishment of a task but slightly attempted by him. |
