IRISH BOOKS FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES

A SUGGESTED LIST. Some time ago we were asked by a member of committee of one of our leading public libraries to supply a list of representative Irish works from which a suitable library selection might be made. Needless to say, we were glad to receive such a friendly and publicspirited request; and, with the assistance of valued collaborators, a list was accordingly prepared and duly forwarded. As the list may prove useful to library committees generally, to Catholic Federation branches, and even to individuals, we have decided to give it wider publicity by publishing it in our columns. It does not, of course, profess to be exhaustive ; but even with its inevitable omissions and imperfections, it will serve as a fair foundation either for library selection or for individual reading. The books are all by Irish writers, but the authors are not in all cases Catholics. HISTORY. History of Ireland D’Alton. An Impeached Nation Henry W. Cleary, D.D. A Story of Ireland A. M. Sullivan.
